Williams, A. Mark; Fawver, Bradley; Hodges, Nicola J. – Frontline Learning Research, 2017
The expert performance approach, initially proposed by Ericsson and Smith (1991), is reviewed as a systematic framework for the study of "expert" learning. The need to develop representative tasks to capture learning is discussed, as is the need to employ process-tracing measures during acquisition to examine what actually changes during…

Spaulding, Lucinda S.; Mostert, Mark P.; Beam, Andrea P. – Exceptionality, 2010
Brain Gym[R] (BG; BGI, 2008) is a popular commercial program sold by Brain Gym[R] International (BGI). Making extravagant claims for improved intellectual and physical development, it is used in more than 80 countries. While BGI's claims are persuasive, to date there is little empirical evidence validating the approach. We examine some theoretical…

Ward, Paul; Suss, Joel; Basevitch, Itay – Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning, 2009
The aim of this article is to provide an overview of research on expertise and training in complex domains. First, we present a summary of the origins of the research on expertise and the development of current theory in expert performance. Then we present a synopsis of the literature on expert performance in sport and perceptual-cognitive skills…

Campos, Joseph J.; Witherington, David; Anderson, David I.; Frankel, Carl I.; Uchiyama, Ichiro; Barbu-Roth, Marianne – Child Development, 2008
This commentary endorses J. Kagan's (2008) conclusion that many of the most dramatic findings on early perceptual, cognitive, and social competencies are ambiguous. It supports his call for converging research operations to disambiguate findings from single paradigms and single response indices. The commentary also argues that early competencies…

Johnstone, A. H.; And Others – Studies in Higher Education, 1981
Little formal training in skills is given with undergraduate courses in chemistry. A possible remedy is the introduction of specially devised exercises for skill development in logical argument, problem solving, appreciation of scientific limitations, fluent and grammatical writing and speaking, and decision making.

Rogers, S. J.; Puchalski, C. B. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1988
Development of object permanence skills was examined longitudinally in 20 visually impaired infants (ages 4-25 months). Order of skill acquisition and span of time required to master skills paralleled that of sighted infants, but the visually impaired subjects were 8-12 months older than sighted counterparts when similar skills were acquired.…

Russell-Gebbett, Jean – Journal of Biological Education, 1985
Investigated secondary-level students' (N=66) understanding of three-dimensional structures in biology. Results suggest that student performance is highly correlated with age, scientific ability, and sex. Suggestions for instructional improvement in spatial relationships are offered. (ML)

Bergeron, Betty S.; Barrow, Lloyd H. – Science and Children, 1983
Describes a series of exercises designed to develop student's perceptual skills and to improve the processes of comparing, describing, and developing subsets. Includes suggestions for adapting the exercises into science lessons, providing tips for developing each into complete units. Units include human-made objects, leaves, shells, rocks, and…

Part of a program to increase the academic growth of preschool and primary grade students through the utilization of brain hemisphere research, this volume contains lessons designed to improve basic reading skills. Material is divided into two sections. Section 1 contains 17 activities to develop letter and word recognition. In activities 1-12,…

Resnick, Lauren B.; And Others – 1970
Twenty-seven kindergarten children were trained on two different double classification matrix tasks in an attempt to determine whether the tasks were hierarchically related. Prior behavior analyses of the tasks suggested that the two tasks shared many components, but that the more complex task had in addition components not included in the simpler…

Golomb, Claire; Schmeling, Jill – Visual Arts Research, 1996
Investigates the drawing and copying skills of nine autistic and eight mentally retarded children matched for mental age. Results indicate a similarity of performance for the drawing tasks and significant differences concerning the copying. Discusses the specific functions performed better by the autistic children and provides illustrative…

Shipley, Dale – 1990
This practicum was designed to solve a problem related to the provision of a computer training component for students enrolled in an early childhood education teacher training program. Increasing pressures on graduates of the training program to integrate computers and educational software into programs for young children as well as the students'…

Winner, Ellen – Visual Arts Research, 1996
Highlights similarities and differences between the art making of normally developing and mentally retarded individuals. Defines pathological art as outsider art that can never be creative in the sense of relating to the artistic domain and engaging in a creative dialog with other artists that shape that domain. (MJP)

Ishii, Takashi; Ishii, Akira; Ishii, Takaaki; Sugiyama, Toshiro – Visual Arts Research, 1996
Presents a series of pictures drawn by an autistic adult over a period of years. The pictures represent recollections of a day in his childhood. This representation is notable because of its consistent theme, as well as its reflection of the ability to reexperience and enjoy pleasant past memories. (MJP)
