This paper presents a collection of thoughts and observations about a grand theory of creativity in the arts. The theory elaborated in the paper is based upon the following five major bodies of psychological knowledge and research: (1) hemisphere differences and cerebral lateralization; (2) chemical balance in the brain and bipolar factors; (3)…

Discusses natural and artificial intelligence and indicates that, although our knowledge of bionics is growing, there is as yet no sufficiently complete model of artificial intelligence. (JR)

Hemifield differences in the recognition of briefly presented words were investigated in children ranging in grade level from second grade through college. (Editor)

A discussion of several types of formal neurons, many of whose functions are modifiable by their own input stimuli. The language of finite automata is used to mathematicize the problem of adaptation sufficiently to remove some ambiguities of Brindley's approach. (Author)

The fact that the children with learning disorders had significantly more abnormal reflexes than did the normal children lends empirical support to the theory of minimal neurological impairment as a factor in the etiology of learning disabilities. (Author)

Two experiments tested the limiting case of a multiple resources approach to resource allocation in information processing. Results contradict a single-capacity model, supporting the idea that the hemispheres' resource supplies are independent and have implications for both cerebral specialization and divided attention issues.

The first of a series of articles on the human brain focuses on the cyclic nature of brain development. Educational and social issues evolving from current discoveries about the brain are also discussed. (CJ)

Reviewing some empirical studies on brain hemisphere functions, the author concludes that though the brain is lateralized for specific tasks, this fact has no necessary bearing on educational methodology. He asserts that we do not yet know enough to label and teach art as a "right brain" activity. (Author/SJL)

Describes a support group for parents of premature infants and an intensive care unit for these infants. The unit has been established to meet high-risk infants' developmental needs by, for instance, promoting attachment behavior, interpreting physiological cues, and teaching parents to understand their infants' needs.

Subjects between the ages of 50 and 86 years were given portions of the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Test Battery, the Wechsler Memory Scale, and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. Younger subjects performed significantly better than older subjects on 10 of the 18 neuropsychological measures used. (Author/BEF)
