Eichenbaum, Adam; Bavelier, Daphne; Green, C. Shawn – American Journal of Play, 2014
The authors review recent research that reveals how today's video games instantiate naturally and effectively many principles psychologists, neuroscientists, and educators believe critical for learning. A large body of research exists showing that the effects of these games are much broader. In fact, some types of commercial games have been…

Bremner, J. Gavin – Infant and Child Development, 2011
This paper reviews progress over the past 20 years in four areas of research on infant perception and cognition. Work on perception of dynamic events has identified perceptual constraints on perception of object unity and object trajectory continuity that have led to a perceptual account of early development that supplements Nativist accounts.…

Yilmaz, H. Bayram – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2009
The importance of spatial ability in learning different school subjects and being successful at certain jobs has been recognized globally. The vast majority of the studies on the topic have focused on the nature of the phenomenon, the factors that affect its development), and the difference between males and females on spatial ability. However,…

Delisle, Robert G.; McNamee, Abigail S. Woods – 1977
Since it is unavoidable that children will experience the death of people and animals through media, literature, and real-life situations, they will need adult help when trying to understand what death is and how it affects them. Researchers generally agree that a child's perception of death is developmental, closely associated to either age or…

Jones, Susan S.; Smith, Linda B. – Cognitive Development, 1993
Reviews current research on children's concepts and categories that reflects a growing consensus that nonperceptual knowledge is central to concepts and determines category membership, whereas perceptual knowledge is peripheral in concepts and only a rough guide to category membership. Argues that there is no compelling basis in theory or in data…

Currently, conservative prevalence estimates are: 13/10000 for autistic disorder, 21/10000 for pervasive developmental disorders not otherwise specified, 2.6/10000 for Asperger disorder, and 2/100000 for childhood…

Nutter, Susann C. – 1983
Research on hemispheric mode functioning indicates that some connections exist between learning disabilities (LD) and right-mode dominance, which suggests that instruction should be offered to develop right hemispheric (spatial perception) abilities in LD persons. The influence on student drawing of the right-left hemispheric shift during reading…

Mayberry, Lupita; Karr-Kidwell, PJ – 1981
A review is presented of research findings on the operation and functions of the two hemispheres of the brain. In tracing discoveries on hemispheric specialization (the left processing information objectively, linguistically, and linearly; the right, spacially, intuitively, and creatively) the importance of achieving a balance between the…
