The author has written a metaphysical sports fantasy and completed a novel which explores evolutionary transformations of the mind and body. Now he is working on a long-term research project exploring radical bodily transformations occurring in various fields of human experience. This article on sport is part of that project. (Editor/RK)

The influence of stimulus number and familiarity on judged duration were investigated. Results showed that the number of stimulus elements presented within a given interval affected its perceived duration, although the familiarity of those elements (as defined herein) did not. (Editor/RK)

To test the tendency of subjects to perceptually organize discrete temporal patterns with regard to runs of identical stimulus events, spatiotemporal patterns of white noise were presented for reproduction. It is suggested that changes in runs of auditory patterns are perceptually analogous to changes in contours of visual patterns. (Editor/RK)

On the basis of a conservation of substance experiment with 189 blind and partially sighted children, it is inferred that while the best of them are performing on a par with the best of their sighted peers, the age range in which conservation is attained is more extended for the visually handicapped.

Although Ss underestimated the size of the illusion in the predicted direction, no significant correlations between size of illusion and either age or IQ were found. (Authors)

Hypothesis was confirmed that more familiar and more ambiguous concepts would be less readily named in their less detailed representations. (Author/MB)

The current study is a one-year follow-up of an earlier report that group counseling with institutionalized delinquent females resulted in significant gains in the connotative meanings of several concepts. (Author)

Results of the present study suggest that the socialization of ethnic perception involves a number of agents and is not dependent exclusively on mothers' attitudes. (Authors)

Study of perceptual exploration was undertaken to see to what extent school experience would produce left-right patterns on several kinds of figures which have strong Gestalt properties. (Author)

These results support Piaget's position that preoperational children respond to the perceptual lack of equality but not to the lack of conceptual equivalence in class-inclusion problems. (Authors)

The experiments reported here investigated a developmental change in frequency generalization in the hatchling chicken. (Author)

Reports a study investigating the relationship between cognitive styles and the preschool child's use of play areas in nursery schools, using daily observation and two tests of analytic perceptual ability. (ED)

Results argue against the too frequent use of human figure drawings as a single, stable, and accurate measure of intellectual ability. (Authors/CB)

Perceptual and cognitive development were investigated in two recall tasks with 48 Ss from each of the grades kindergarten, third, and sixth. (Author)
