Rationale for implementation of typographic cuing and its effectiveness are discussed, as well as strategies for experimenter-provided and learner-generated cues. Suggestions for selecting cue-worthy information are included. (RAO)

A series of simple activities not only illustrates how our eyes work but also dramatically shows how the brain interprets the eyes' information. Uses these activities to introduce a study of the eye to elementary students and to motivate their interest. (Author/RK)

Preponderant reliance on vision may distort one's conception of reality. Brain research indicates that complete integration of the two hemispheres, combining spatialization and language, has the greatest potential for representing external reality. It is therefore suggested that clinical techniques be developed to stimulate utilization of the…

This series of activities on spatial relationships was designed to help users acquire the skills of spatial visualization and orientation and to improve their effectiveness in applying those skills. The series contains an introduction to spatial orientation with several self-directed activities to help improve that skill. It also contains seven…

A laboratory exercise is described in which students view the environment through a transparent frontal parallel plane. The relationship of projected size to distance can be studied, and other cues to distance based on this geometric relationship can be appreciated. (Author/AV)

Suggestions for a modified indoor tennis game, for activities to develop body reference in young children, and for a drill to aid students with depth and space perception difficulties are presented. (LH)

Described is a way to use knots to relate a three-dimensional object to a two-dimensional representation of the object. The results are used to produce an algorithm or rule to explain a general case. Included are examples, diagrams, procedures, and explanations. (KR)

This booklet presents educational programs and activities for perceptual training of 4- to 9-year-olds and older children with learning and reading problems. The development of visual and auditory perception needs to be understood as closely related to and dependent upon other developmental areas, including motor, language, thinking, emotional,…

The development of visual perception skills in children with partial vision as well as developmental disabilities is considered. A model of visual learning is offered which incorporates the role of visual experience, movement, and visual learning. Specific teaching suggestions for developing visual attention and visual search skills are offered.…

Maintains that having students estimate the size and width of a class waste paper can (placed on a desk) is a simple and effective way of illustrating perceptual distortion. Tests show that people will consistently overestimate the height of the can, allowing for a useful discussion on sensory distortion. (MJP)

This "kit" consists of 145 activities that teach and reinforce specific pre-reading and beginning reading skills; it has been developed to help the primary grade teacher in recognizing and developing skills that assure each child's continuous reading progress. Part One explains how pre-reading skills are developing reading skills in the…

The six major sections of this notebook focus on developing the abilities of preschool and kindergarten children in the areas of large and fine motor, social, auditory, visual, language, and mathematics skills. Each section contains several activities parents can do at home in brief and enjoyable practice periods to assist children's development.…
