George, David N.; Oltean, Bianca P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Learning to categorize perceptually similar stimuli can result in people becoming more sensitive to differences along perceptual dimensions that are relevant to category membership and/or less sensitive to equivalent differences along irrelevant perceptual dimensions. These effects of acquired distinctiveness and acquired equivalence may be caused…

Athanasopoulos, Panos; Bylund, Emanuel; Casasanto, Daniel – Language Learning, 2016
This Special Issue of "Language Learning" presents an interdisciplinary state-of-the-art overview of current approaches to linguistic relativity. It contains empirical and theoretical studies and reflections on linguistic relativity from a variety of perspectives, such as associative learning, conceptual transfer, multilingual awareness,…

Carlson, Laura A.; Covey, Eric S. – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2005
A word may mean different things in different contexts. The current study explored the changing denotations of spatial terms, focusing on how the distance inferred from a spatial description varied as a function of the size of the objects being spatially related. We examined both terms that explicitly convey distance (i.e., topological terms such…

Stevenson, Marguerite B.; Friedman, Sarah L. – Developmental Psychology, 1986
Describes two studies in which young children were shown pictures that represented sound with postures and contexts, with conventions, and with combinations of information. Shows that the different types of pictorial representation of sound were not equivalent in their ability to evoke a correct interpretation. (HOD)

Rolls, Edmund T. – Brain and Cognition, 2004
The orbitofrontal cortex contains the secondary taste cortex, in which the reward value of taste is represented. It also contains the secondary and tertiary olfactory cortical areas, in which information about the identity and also about the reward value of odours is represented. The orbitofrontal cortex also receives information about the sight…

Smothergill, D. W.; Cook, Harold – 1969
The author initially cites the associationistic position of Spiker and the perceptual learning position of E. Gibson and concludes that the existing data does not clearly support either hypothesis. He describes a new approach designed to test these explanations of the role of verbal pretraining on subsequent discrimination learning. It consists of…

Padalino, Jane P. – 1971
A 3-year Title III project in Union, New Jersey involved screening of 869 incoming kindergarten children in 1967 and 840 children in 1968, subsequent identification of children's perceptual difficulties, and remediation. The children were screened in areas of perceptual-motor match, auditory dynamics, associative processes, and gross-motor…

Ortiz, Flora Ida; Morelan, Steve J. – 1974
The effect of cognitive style and learning conditions on the rote verbal learning performance of Mexican American subjects classified as field independent or field dependent was investigated. Field dependent referred to a strong perceptual influence caused by the context or background while field independent referred to an ability to overcome the…

Olson, Arthur V.; Rosen, Carl L. – 1971
The technique of factor analysis was used to explore the structure of five batteries of readiness tests (Gates Reading Readiness Test, Developmental Tests of Visual Perception, Metropolitan Readiness Tests, Specially Constructed Readiness Test by Olson, and Wechsler Intelligence for Children) as predictor variables for the Stanford Achievement…

National Education Association, Washington, DC. Project on Utilization of Inservice Education R & D Outcomes. – 1977
The inservice and preservice learning module described here focuses on processing procedures used by students, the objective being to help teachers to stimulate cognitive processes. Perceptual and mediational processing and associative learning are specifically covered in the module, and methods for stimulating cognitive processes are presented.…
