Cooper, William D. – Journal of Architectural Education, 1982
In an effort to make freehand drawing instruction more easily transferred to architectural design, a series of exercises was developed based on touch, movement, and vision. The intent is for students to mimic and develop empathy with the items they are drawing. Examples and illustrations are provided. (MSE)

Smith, Linda B.; Kemler, Deborah G. – Cognitive Psychology, 1978
The contrast between holistic and differentiated perception of multidimensional stimuli is reconceptualized. Hypotheses about the experiential status of dimensions within holistic perception were tested as explanations of children's general perceptual mode and of adults' integral mode. Three levels of dimensional status are described. (Author/RD)

Shimoff, Eliot – Teaching of Psychology, 1998
Outlines a simple classroom demonstration that illustrates Piagetian conservation. Piagetian conservation refers to the illusion of an increase in mass by changing an object's form. This demonstration, done by forming an ellipse with an extension cord, shows that college students are as susceptible to this effect as are young children. (MJP)

Lamontagne, Claude; Desjardins, Francois; Benard, Michele – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2007
Managing the pedagogical aspects of the "computational turn" that is occurring within the Humanities in general and the disciplines associated with cognitive science and neuroscience in particular, first implies facing the challenge of introducing students to computation. This paper presents what has proven to be an efficient approach to bringing…

Greenberg, Leslie S.; Kahn, Sharon E. – Counselor Education and Supervision, 1979
Presents an expanded model of counseling, which includes a stimulation phase, to provide for active counseling methods that affect client perceptual change. This actively involves the counselor and client in full exploration, culminating in discovery. Active stimulation leads to new awareness, enhanced by social influence to achieve new…

Smith, Linda B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1981
The hypothesis that overall-similarity relations structure both adults' and children's classifications of heterogeneous objects (objects that differ in a variety of ways) was supported in two experiments. When objects varied simultaneously on many dimensions, adults and children constructed classifications that maximized within-category similarity…

Mason, Mildred – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1980
Two experiments using varying duration exposures related reading skill in adults to initial encoding of location information. Results suggest that the role of perception in reading has been underestimated because emphasis has been on item perception, not perception of spatial location. (Author/CP)

Pisconi, David B.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 1982
Three experiments examined the perception of a three-way voicing contrast by monolingual speakers of English. The results demonstrate that the perceptual mechanisms used by adults in categorizing stop consonants can be modified easily with simple laboratory techniques in a short period of time. (Author/PN)

Fraser, Barry J.; And Others – 1992
Recently, some researchers are considering the effects of classroom environment on student achievement and attitudes. Due to the concerted effort of a number of educators, remarkable progress has been made over the last quarter of a century in conceptualizing, assessing and researching this area of concern. However, today there is growing concern…

McConkie, George W.; Hogaboam, Thomas W. – 1985
To investigate the relationship between the location of the words being read and the location of the eyes in the text, three experiments were conducted using the Disappearing Text Technique with college students. This was done by occasionally removing the text during reading and having the reader report the last word that had been read.…

Shepp, Bryan E.; Barrett, Susan E. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1991
Children and adults performed a divided attention task and two selective attention tasks with shapes that were either spatially integrated or separated. Results indicate that integrated stimuli are initially perceived as wholes, and separated stimuli as features, at all ages. (BC)

Demery, Marie – 1984
Through the use of a visual literacy process of instruction as an initial stage in perceiving and creating, beginning college art students can acquire knowledge and skills for completing successful drawings. This process includes the following steps: selecting a simple and familiar subject; studying the entire form of the subject; looking for big…
