Includes a list of publications and audiovisual aids of interest to teachers. (DS)

Methods for using various visual materials, readily available in the classroom, to motivate the learner to communicate more freely in his second language. (RB)

Children were pretested and assigned to one of three treatments: training with three dimensional manipulanda; the same program except that the instructional materials were line drawings; and a control. On the posttest, both experimental groups were significantly superior to control group. (Author)

Discusses the value of making students visually literate. Stresses the technique of visual rehearsal and offers suggestions for incorporating visual rehearsal activities into the classroom. (FL)

Four severely retarded and four nonretarded adolescents learned compound discriminations in the haptic (touch) modality using D. Ray's conflict-compound procedure. Subjects evinced selective attention effects in posttraining tests conducted in the haptic modality. Visual transfer tests revealed the effects of conflict-compound discrimination…

A comparison was made between two procedures for testing whether an alpha-numeric character, which was pattern masked to prevent awareness, could access higher-order information concerning its category. (Author)

Examines visual cognitive processes having to do with perception, the assimilation of new information, and learning by analogy, and identifies instructional strategies to control each process. Discussion of relationships between visual learning and instruction includes implications for research and design. An extensive bibliography is provided.…

The author reviews aspects of visual integration which should be assessed in students with suspected learning problems: visually directed and monitored movements, visual tactual integrations, visual auditory language integrations, and visual systems integrations. (CL)

Presents an approach for improving verbal development by using organized slide shows to produce visual/verbal interaction in classroom. Suggests strength of visual involvement is that it provides a procedure for language discovery while achieving cooperation between right and left brain processing. (Author/BK)

In studies with 22 normal hearing adults and two hearing impaired children (12-13 years old), speech was presented under different degrees of optical distortion. (CL)

Describes the development of a series of television programs tailor-made for the profoundly deaf and their usage in a school for such children. (Author)

Presents a checklist which can be used in the development of materials and activities to develop visual abilities; and includes a visual preference survey designed to provide data needed in responding to some of the checklist items, especially those related to learner abilities and preferences. (CMV)

The author presents findings from brain hemisphere research indicating a complex dual memory process which separately and simultaneously processes input through visual and verbal encoding strategies. He draws implications from this for educational goals, instructional methods, and student evaluation procedures. (SJL)

Demonstrates that a representation of a figure through object reconstruction is prerequisite to recognizing the object figure from a collection of figures, which in turn is prerequisite to representing the object figure using a pencil-and-paper reproduction. (RL)
