Bibliography of research on pictures and imagery is organized according to major sections of general-purpose taxonomy, i.e., theoretical approaches to picture perception; picture perception research; memory for pictures; concept learning, problem solving, and cognitive skills; learning from prose; affective picture responses; pictoral media design…

This annotated bibliography containing research on visual perception executed at photopic levels in artificial laboratory situations has been compiled to make information available that can be applied to scotopic perception of natural objects in natural situations. There are 407 reports or studies, published from 1945 through 1964, cited in this…

Analyzes the research strategies, stimuli, subjects, statistical strategies, and relative variables in 34 empirical studies on children's representation of three-dimensional objects. The studies fell into three categories: children's representation of spatial relationships within an object, between two objects, and studies that included both. (MJP)

Describes 11 documents in the ERIC system which describe language activities in the context of music, drama, games, and visual stimuli. (DD)

This bibliography lists 260 articles reporting on research in which the use of pictures as experimental stimuli is central to (not incidental to) the researcher's hypotheses and in which internal imaginal processes are presumed to be activated, no matter what the nature of the experimental stimuli. The articles included are from the 1980 issues of…

Discusses the creative techniques used in eight recently published picture books deemed "age appropriate" for three- to seven-year-olds. Urges preschool teachers to familiarize themselves with available books, and suggests a technique for incorporating literature into the curriculum. Offers a bibliography of story, science, alphabet, and "must…

The result of an exhaustive review of literature on the subject of film audiences, this bibliography is intended to provide film scholars with a reference tool, to act as an impetus for renewed research interest in the often neglected areas of film audience uses and gratifications, and to provide an update to UNESCO's 1961 bibliography concerning…

Research literature concerning children's comprehension of pictures was compiled in order to clarify the role of textbook-type pictures in primary school children's learning of mathematics. The review is presented in eight sections: (1) psychological studies which investigated the role of imagery, comparing pictures with words, including (a)…

A uniprocessor, unidimensional model, based on Krueger's noisy-operator theory, was fitted satisfactorily to data from four published studies of tone comparison. The model predicts faster response time on different judgments because of heterogeneity of difference. (Author/CP)

This paper introduces and defines photography, presents an overview of its applications, and shows how photographs can be used adjunctively as both artifacts and metaphors. Examples are given to demonstrate the usefulness of pictures in gathering information about a client's world, taking a history, formulating a diagnosis, and creating…

This paper discusses the relation of the treatment of black characters in illustrations in children's reading materials to children's picture reading skills and vocabularies. Pointing out that illustrations introduce children to a wide range of experiences, it argues that using illustrations of black characters strengthens children's critical…

An update and modification of "Vision-Visual Discrimination" published in 1973, this annotated bibliography contains entries from the annual summaries of research in reading published by the International Reading Association (IRA) since then. The first large section, "Vision," is divided into two subgroups: (1) "Visually…

This paper outlines and analyzes the important methodological and experimental design considerations uncovered by recent inquiries into the effects of alcohol on human behavior.
