Coté, Carol A. – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2015
This article presents a model for understanding the development of visual perception from a dynamic systems theory perspective. It contrasts to a hierarchical or reductionist model that is often found in the occupational therapy literature. In this proposed model vision and ocular motor abilities are not foundational to perception, they are seen…

Schiferl, E. I. – Studies in Art Education: A Journal of Issues and Research in Art Education, 2008
Neuroscience research provides new models for understanding vision that challenge Betty Edwards' (1979, 1989, 1999) assumptions about right brain vision and common conventions of "realistic" drawing. Enlisting PET and fMRI technology, neuroscience documents how the brains of normal adults respond to images of recognizable objects and scenes.…

Orfield, Antonia – Principal Leadership, 2008
Vision is the dominant sense, and the eyes are connected with almost every other part of the brain. If the vision system is poorly developed, children trying to learn suffer. Without good up close vision, students are handicapped even if no one knows or suspects it--they may not even know it themselves. Students do not know that the way they see…

Kvernbekk, Tone – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2000
Discusses the role of theoretical knowledge in seeing and makes the case that direct and indirect forms of cognitive perception are pervasive forms of seeing in educational practice, and that both forms are fundamentally theory laden. Suggests that theoretical knowledge enhances our capacity to see in practice. (SLD)

Walker, Jearl – Scientific American, 1988
Describes subjective-contour illusions and gives explanations for perception of shape and brightness in these figures. Supports cognitive mechanisms rather than psychological mechanisms. Gives examples of subjective-contour illusions and summarizes explanations of other psychologists with regard to this topic. (CW)

La Brecque, Mort – Mosaic, 1984
To break the bottleneck inherent in today's linear computer architectures, parallel schemes (which allow computers to perform multiple tasks at one time) are being devised. Several of these schemes are described. Dataflow devices, parallel number-crunchers, programing languages, and a device based on a neurological model are among the areas…

Leek, E. Charles; Reppa, Irene; Arguin, Martin – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
This article examines how the human visual system represents the shapes of 3-dimensional (3D) objects. One long-standing hypothesis is that object shapes are represented in terms of volumetric component parts and their spatial configuration. This hypothesis is examined in 3 experiments using a whole-part matching paradigm in which participants…

Cromie, William J.; Edson, Lee – Mosaic, 1984
Intelligent relationships with people are among the goals for tomorrow's computers. Knowledge-based systems used and being developed to achieve these goals are discussed. Automatic learning, producing inferences, parallelism, program languages, friendly machines, computer vision, and biomodels are among the topics considered. (JN)

Toro, Juan M.; Sinnett, Scott; Soto-Faraco, Salvador – Cognition, 2005
We addressed the hypothesis that word segmentation based on statistical regularities occurs without the need of attention. Participants were presented with a stream of artificial speech in which the only cue to extract the words was the presence of statistical regularities between syllables. Half of the participants were asked to passively listen…
