Modality Characteristics of Gifted Children.
Barbe, Walter B.; Milone, Michael N., Jr. – G/C/T, 1982
The authors discuss modality strengths, perceptual channels which are most effective to an individual's learning, particularly as they relate to the education of gifted children. (SB)

The Type III Error and Other Concerns in Learning Disability Research.
Mather, Nancy; Kirk, Samuel A. – Learning Disabilities Research, 1985
Although research results generally fail to confirm a consistent relationship between reading performance and visual perception, auditory perception, or modality preference, clinical observations and teachers' opinions suggest the presence of such a relationship. The article reviews the research and suggests factors, including asking the wrong…

Information Processing Theory: Classroom Applications.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Slate, John R.; Charlesworth, John R., Jr. – Reading Improvement, 1989
Utilizes the information processing model of human memory to provide teachers with suggestions for improving the teaching-learning process. Briefly explains and specifies applications of major theoretical concepts: attention, active learning, meaningfulness, organization, advanced organizers, memory aids, overlearning, automatically, and…

Research in Learning Style and Reading: Implications for Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Carbo, Marie – Theory into Practice, 1984
Current research in learning style and reading indicates that students' reading achievement and attitudes improve significantly when students are taught to read through their individual styles. Research topics that support this conclusion are listed and implications for improving reading research are discussed. (DF)

Survey of Research on Learning Styles.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dunn, Rita; And Others – Educational Leadership, 1989
A number of studies conducted during the last decade have found that students' achievement increases when teaching methods match their learning styles--biological and developmental characteristics that affect how they learn. Correlational studies and experimental research studies are reviewed on instructional environments, perceptual preferences,…

Recent Research into the Hemisphericity of the Human Brain and the Implications of Those Findings in the Teaching of Reading.
McLendon, Gloria H. – 1983
Research data in neurosurgery, neuropsychology, and neurolinguistics indicate that the human brain is lateralized toward one of two methods of information processing, and that, in most humans, the language bias appears to be a left hemisphere function, while the visiospatial bias belongs to the right. Furthermore, the left hemisphere seems to…

Learning Styles: Their Effects on the Potential Development of the Brain.
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…
