Schein, Jerome D. – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1980
Teachers of elementary-grade deaf students make mistakes which can handicap communication by setting up less than optimal visual conditions. Four areas need to be considered: angle of regard, size of communication frame, rate of communication, and placement of teaching materials. (SBH)

Klopfer, Dale; Doherty, Michael E. – Teaching of Psychology, 1992
Describes a perceptual illusion, the Janus mask, for use in introductory psychology demonstrations. Suggests using a motor or videotaped image to rotate the mask, giving the impression that the mask is following a moving observer or oscillating. Recommends the illusion to show that perception is usefully conceptualized as hypothesis testing. (DK)

Burton, David – Art Education, 1984
Most schools teach the triadic color system, utilizing red, blue, and yellow as primary colors. Other systems, such as additive and subtractive color systems, Munsell's Color Notation System, and the Hering Opponent Color Theory, can broaden children's concepts and free them to better choose color in their own work.

Moen, Sue – Strategies, 1989
In tennis as well as in other racket/paddle sports, simply watching the ball does not guarantee success in hitting the ball to the desired location. Teachers and coaches should teach players to integrate available visual, spatial, and kinesthetic information. Several drills for good ball contact are outlined. (IAH)
