Steinbrenner, Jessica R.; Hume, Kara; Odom, Samuel L.; Morin, Kristi L.; Nowell, Sallie W.; Tomaszewski, Brianne; Szendrey, Susan; McIntyre, Nancy S.; Yücesoy-Özkan, Serife; Savage, Melissa N. – FPG Child Development Institute, 2020
Autism is currently one of the most prominent and widely discussed human conditions. Its increased prevalence has intensified the demand for effective educational and therapeutic services, and intervention science is providing mounting evidence about practices that positively impact outcomes. The purpose of this report is to describe a set of…

Generalization of Learning in Three-and-a-Half-Month-Old Infants on the Basis of Amodal Relations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bahrick, Lorraine E. – Child Development, 2002
Investigated the extent to which 3.5-month-old infants trained in amodal auditory-visual relations between falling objects and the sounds they made could generalize their intermodal knowledge to a new task and across events. Found that infants tested with familiar events and with events of a new color or shape showed learning and transfer…

Help--My Eyes Are Melting!
Rennels, Max R. – Viewpoints, 1976
To reverse the general decline in school performance, educationists must restructure learning experiences to balance the present fragmented and specialized linear processes with the sensory/spatial processes, so that an educational system commensurate with the neutral balance of both cerebral hemispheres might emerge.

Sensory Organization and Learning--It Works!
Ames, Kay N. – Academic Therapy, 1979
A reading program for second- and third-grade nonreaders based on neurological development rather than reading or perceptual skills is described. Results of a study of 24 children in the program showed average gains of eight months in reading ability in four months of instruction. (PHR)

How Motivation is Learned: A Neurological Explanation. Preconvention Institute 7; Brain Functions in Reading and Reading Disability.

Wilson, John A. R. – 1975
If motivation to read fails to develop, reading failure is the outcome. All of us have very delicately balanced neural systems for integrating incoming sensory inputs, evaluating their significance in the light of past experience, and storing the learning for future use. Autistic and hyperkinetic children apparently have unbalanced neurological…

Intersensory Redundancy Guides Attentional Selectivity and Perceptual Learning in Infancy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bahrick, Lorraine E.; Lickliter, Robert – Developmental Psychology, 2000
Three experiments assessed the intersensory redundancy hypothesis in early infancy. Findings indicated that habituation to a bimodal rhythm resulted in discrimination of a novel rhythm, whereas habituation to the same rhythm presented unimodally resulted in no evidence of discrimination. Temporal synchrony between the bimodal auditory and visual…

Artwork as an Indicator of Reading Readiness in Early Primary Grades: A Preliminary Study.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fast, Lynette – Canadian Review of Art Education: Research and Issues, 1997
Explores the relationship between drawing pictures and the development of reading skills in preschool and primary grades. Maintains that a definite link exists between the two and briefly notes some of the relevant research. Concludes that further investigation is warranted. Includes an 11-item related bibliography.
