Klapp, Stuart T.; Jagacinski, Richard J. – Psychological Bulletin, 2011
We argue that 4 fundamental gestalt phenomena in perception apply to the control of motor action. First, a motor gestalt, like a perceptual gestalt, is holistic in the sense that it is processed as a single unit. This notion is consistent with reaction time results indicating that all gestures for a brief unit of action must be programmed prior to…

Davidoff, Jules; Goldstein, Julie; Roberson, Debi – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2009
We respond to the commentary of Franklin, Wright, and Davies ("Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 102", 239-245 [2009]) by returning to the simple contrast between nature and nurture. We find no evidence from the toddler data that makes us revise our ideas that color categories are learned and never innate. (Contains 1 figure.)

Bushnell, Emily W.; Boudreau, J. Paul – Child Development, 1993
Emphasizes the role that motor development may play in determining developmental sequences in other domains, such as haptic or tactile perception and depth perception. Maintains that there is a high degree of fit between the developmental sequence in which certain perceptual sensitivities unfold and the ages at which the corresponding motor…

Berthoff, Ann E. – Pre-Text: A Journal of Rhetorical Theory, 1993
Explores how a dyadic understanding of perception cancels the validity it might have as a model for the linguistic process. Discusses commonly misunderstood exhibits in the gallery of perception studies--the duck-rabbit and Magritte's pipe. (RS)
Descriptors: Pattern Recognition, Perception, Perceptual Development, Rhetorical Theory
Lahiry, Sugato – Training and Development, 1991
Perception training can be an integral part of management development programs. These games can help trainees understand what perception is, how it works, and how it applies in the workplace. (JOW)

Spoerner, Thomas M. – Art Education, 1981
Activities involving photographs stimulate visual perceptual awareness. Children understand visual stimuli before having verbal capacity to deal with the world. Vision becomes the primary means for learning, understanding, and adjusting to the environment. Photography can provide an effective avenue to visual literacy. (Author)

Greenlee, Mel – Journal of Child Language, 1980
Discusses a study comparing children's perception of temporal acoustic cues to that of adults. Subjects were asked to identify voiced or voiced CVC words with uniformly voiceless final obstruents but in which vowel duration was systematically varied. Results show that subject age and vowel duration of test stimuli affect identification processes.…

Whitesell, Corinne B. – RE:view, 1991
An adventitiously visually impaired individual examines differences between the neurological, psychological, and educational development of persons blinded either very early in life or much later. (DB)

Schwartz, Marcelle; Day, R. H. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1979
The ability of young infants between the ages of 8 and 17 weeks to perceive outline shapes was investigated in nine experiments using an habituation paradigm. (JMB)

Blanksby, D. C. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1992
This paper offers a model of visual functioning focusing on three factors: (1) visual capacity, (2) visual processing, and (3) visual attention. Practical implications of visual therapy are considered, and intervention strategies with children with impaired visual functioning are suggested. (Author/DB)

Cohen, Michael J. – Clearing, 1991
Discusses the importance of sensory stimulation as our connection to the global life system. Expands the traditionally acknowledged 5 human senses to include over 53 additional ways of perceiving. Explains how sensory awareness as knowledge is culturally invalidated and mistrusted to the detriment of the quality of human life. (MCO)

Sievers, K. H. – Science and Education, 1999
Criticizes the account of observation given by Alan Chalmers in "What Is This Thing Called Science?" and provides an alternative based on direct realist approaches to perception. Contains 15 references. (Author/WRM)

Kipper, Philip S. – 1989
As the viewer watches the opening credits for the program "Entertainment Tonight," the screen comes to life with rotating shapes and spinning geometric patterns. One has the sense of travelling on an imaginary voyage through space. Many of the computer generated displays common now on television use such visual devices as linear perspective,…

Learning Disability Quarterly, 1986
The position statement of the Council for Learning Disabilities' Board of Trustees opposes the measurement and training of perceptual and perceptual-motor functions as a part of learning disability services and recommends instead that assessment and remediation focus on the primary disorders of listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning, and…

Marschalek, Douglas G. – Studies in Art Education, 1986
The record of eye fixations and movements is an objective measure of an individual's involvement with an art object. This review of eye movement research reveals distinct patterns of viewing behavior which are determined by the age of the viewer, the type of visual materials, the nature of the problem confronting the viewer, and the structure of…
