This study was performed to assess the effect of field independence/dependence on the successful use of mapping or outlining to take notes from textbooks. Success was measured in terms of student performance on a comprehension test and thoroughness of notetaking. The study sample of 38 students enrolled in reading and study skills courses at a…

Bodner, George M.; And Others – 1983
The relationship between students' relative ability in visual-spatial tasks as well as their verbal and numerical skills to their performance in an introductory college chemistry course was investigated. For 700 subjects, verbal and mathematics Scholastic Aptitude Test scores (SAT-V) and (SAT-M) and the following four perceptual tests were…

Dean, Anne L. – 1982
A program of research was conducted to study transitions from preoperational to concrete operational forms of spatial imagery (area 1), to compare results from spatial imagery studies based on open-ended measures (such as drawings) with results based on reaction time measures (area 2), and to study anticipatory imagery in the contexts of memory…

Lee, Jo Ann; Pollack, Robert H. – 1973
Witkin's Embedded Figures Test (EFT) was used to measure the changes with age in field dependence and problem-solving ability. Qualitative data concerning problem-solving strategies and quantitative data were collected. EFT was administered to 12 females in each of the following decades: 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s. All subjects were moderately…

Itskowitz, Rivka – 1973
This research deals with the development and relative importance of both the conceptual-cognitive and the aesthetic-affective aspect of the perceptual process at various age levels of children. Three tasks were chosen: (1) sorting drawings of human figures--a task that represents a more conceptual function; (2) expressing preferences for those…

Kocher, A. Thel – 1977
The purpose of this study is to determine whether locus of control scores for students in "open" programs changed significantly over a one-year period and whether there was any change different from change experienced by students in a "traditional" program. The lack of significant group main effects indicated that students in the open programs did…

Shaw, James B.; McCormick, Ernest J. – 1976
The study was directed towards the further exploration of the use of attribute ratings as the basis for establishing the job component validity of tests, in particular by using different methods of combining "attribute-based" data with "job analysis" data to form estimates of the aptitude requirements of jobs. The primary focus…

MALPASS, LESLIE F.; AND OTHERS – 1959
THE BASIC INTENTION OF THE STUDY WAS TO INVESTIGATE MENTAL RETARDATION IN TERMS OF PERCEPTUAL AND RESPONSE ABILITY DEFINITIONS, TO TEST THESE ABILITY DEFINITIONS OBJECTIVELY, AND TO EVALUATE THEM AS THEY RELATE TO THE INTELLIGENCE FACTOR. BOTH PERCEPTUAL AND RESPONSE FACTORS WERE EXAMINED FROM THE STANDPOINT OF MENTAL DISTURBANCES WITH REFERENCE…

Cosgrove, J. Michael; Patterson, Charlotte, J. – 1977
This study investigates both immediate and delayed effects of two different training procedures on children's listener behavior in a referential communication setting. Using a 2 x 2 design, the presence and absence of a plan for effective listening and modeling of appropriate listener behavior were varied, and the effects of these variations on 40…

ROSENBERG, LEON A.; AND OTHERS – 1966
IN ORDER TO DEVELOP AN INTELLIGENCE TEST FOR PRESCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN THAT WOULD OVERCOME SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS OF AVAILABLE TESTS, A PERCEPTUAL DISCRIMINATION TEST USING POLYGONAL FORMS HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND TESTED. THE CHILD POINTS TO ONE OF TWO, THREE, OR FIVE FORMS MATCHING A STIMULUS FORM. INITIAL TESTING WITH 44 CHILDREN RANGING IN AGE FROM…

Peer reviewedPapcun, George; And Others – Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1974
Morse code signals were presented dichotically to Morse code operators and to naive subjects with no knowledge of Morse code. The operators showed right ear superiority, indicating left hemisphere dominance for the perception of dichotically presented Morse code letters. Naive subjects showed the same right ear superiority when presented with a…

Bruininks, Robert H. – 1968
The main purpose of this study was to assess whether matching teaching methods to the auditory and visual perceptual strengths of second and third grade disadvantaged children would facilitate the learning of unknown words. A secondary objective sought to evaluate the relationship between a number of auditory and visual perception tests and a…

Zullo, Thomas G. – 1971
A battery of perceptual motor skills tests was administered to 107 freshman and 84 senior dental students for the purposes of determining the factor structure of the battery and studying differences between the two groups. The tests used included Minnesota Rate of Manipulation Test (MRM), Placing and Turning; O'Connor Finger Dexterity; O'Connor…

Drakeford, Grant C.; Snider, James G. – 1970
The study focuses on the possibility that the tendency of academic underachievers to respond in terms of all inclusive language is indicative of their incapacity to discriminate the uniquely meaningful aspects of their environment. The authors hypothesize that academic achievers would differ significantly from academic underachievers in their…

Scott, Owen; Veal, L. Ramon – 1969
The 1955 check-list consisted of 92 items giving students' perceptions of the teaching-learning process, and was suggested for use in teacher self-evaluation. It was revised in the spring of 1969 to incorporate results of recent research and to apply specifically to classes in high school English. Similar devices, together with articles and books…
