High functioning autistic individuals (N=16) were compared with age-matched normal control subjects on a visual recognition matching task. Autistic subjects performed particularly poorly on meaningless material, but were able to utilize meaning to aid their visual memory. Results did not support a simple parallel between autism and mediotemporal…

This paper focuses on an important innovative development in new generation corporate university management. It addresses the thematic area of visual learning that is captured in the term "The Art of Minds-eye Management". It reflects upon experiences with groups of managers in enhancing perceptive competencies using visual awareness learning…

In the United States, the likelihood that an art teacher may teach a child with autism in an inclusive classroom is high, since one out of every 166 children in the country is diagnosed with autism. Federal law mandates that every child has the right to a free and appropriate education. Some children with autism have exceptional artistic abilities…

This article seeks to articulate developing trends in art education and practice, locating such movements within the broader cultural contexts of globalization, neoliberal capitalism, and postmodernity. Against this more general synopsis, the autobiographical position of the author as a student and teacher of art will be elucidated as inextricably…

The central and peripheral visual fields are structurally segregated in the brain and are differentiated by their anatomical and functional characteristics. While the central field appears well suited for tasks such as visual search, the periphery is optimized for rapid processing over broad regions. People vary in their abilities to make use of…

This paper is simultaneously a test and refinement of the E-Z Reader model and an exploration of the interrelationship between visual and language processing and eye-movements in reading. Our modeling indicates that the assumption that words in text are processed serially by skilled readers is a viable and attractive hypothesis, as it accounts not…

In 3 experiments, the author investigated 16- to 20-month-old infants' attention to dynamic and static parts in learning about self-propelled objects. In Experiment 1, infants were habituated to simple noncausal events in which a geometric figure with a single moving part started to move without physical contact from an identical geometric figure…

The basic problem in learning the English language is that it is a visual, not phonetic, language. Because they have not learned many of the basic visual abilities, many children do not have an adequate skill of visualization. The sequence of visual development includes: general movement patterns of action, special movement patterns of action, eye…

Visual education is a field that has tremendous potential which it still has not begun to realize. (Author)

Results of this investigation involving 50 deaf and 50 hearing students (14-18 years old) indicate extensive use of visual matching test-taking strategies by deaf subjects but not by hearing subjects. The extent of strategy use was not related to deaf subjects' overall performance on the lookback test. (Author/CL)

Visual short-term memory depends upon an ordered two-dimensional array of locations for its existence, whereas associative memory relies on associations between character representatives. (CK)
