Rudnick, Martin F.; And Others – Viewpoints, 1973
This article deals with studies that manipulated physical parameters of pictures- the amount of realistic detail, color versus black and white, and moving versus still pictures. (Author)

Dettmer, Sarah; Simpson, Richard L.; Myles, Brenda Smith; Ganz, Jennifer B. – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2000
Visual supports were used to help two boys with autism of elementary school age to transition from one activity to another. A significant decrease in the latency between the time the students were given instructions and the time they began the next activity occurred when the visual supports were used. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)

Parker, Elizabeth S.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
Effects of acute alcohol intoxication on the storage phase of memory were evaluated with two tasks that minimized response retrieval: unpaced paired-associate learning with highly available responses and forced-choice picture recognition. It was concluded that storage processes are sensitive to disruption by alcohol. (CHK)

Scholl, Paul A. – 1967
With the advent of multi-screen capability in multi-media communication centers, it is possible to control the visual learning environment in a number of interesting ways. The basic assumption implicit in the concept of the multiple-image presentation is that it increases learning. A study tested the effect on learning of single- and…

Guttmann, Joseph – 1976
The main purpose of this study was to determine whether partially imposed imagery can be faciliatative in children's oral prose learning at an age where fully induced imagery is not. The results of this experiment are somewhat consistent with this speculation. While kindergarten subjects benefited only with fully imposed imagery, second grade…

Wheelbarger, Johnny J. – 1970
Several theories in audiovisual education hold that learning from a visual illustration is directly related to the realism of the visual aid. In order to test this theory, five treatment groups were established. All groups were pretested, taught the same unit of instruction, and posttested. Four groups saw slide sequences in which were viewed…

Strauss, Mark S.; And Others – 1977
The ability of 5-month-old infants to recognize two-dimensional (pictorial) representations of three-dimensional objects was investigated. Subjects were 24 5-month-old infants. The novelty preference technique was employed: all infants were familiarized with a three-dimensional object--a doll. Following familiarization, three novelty tests were…

Hopper, Robert – 1972
This study was designed to explore the influences of visual context upon sentence comprehension in young children. Three-, four-, five-, and six-year-old children were presented with various linguistic tasks under varied visual context constraints. Four context conditions--no visual context, a helpful pictured context, a helpful visual context…

Dwyer, Francis M., Jr. – Harvard Educational Review, 1967
Reports on the effectiveness of visual illustrations used in conjunction with oral instructions. Results indicate that the reduction of realistic detail in an illustration does not necessarily reduce its instructional effectiveness and in many cases improves it. There were also significant differences in the effectiveness of different types of…

Karnes, Frances; Zimmerman, Mark – Gifted Child Today, 2001
This article urges teachers to guide gifted students in constructing meaning through creating and viewing non-print texts. It discusses how visual images can be used to capture symbols of leadership, record and celebrate leadership in action, interpret the attributes of leadership in new ways, and recognize leaders in the community. (Contains one…

Copeland, Susan R.; Hughes, Carolyn – Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, 2000
Two high school students with severe disabilities were taught to perform job tasks using a two-step process: touching a picture to prompt initiation of a task and turning a picture in a booklet to indicate task completion. As participants acquired the picture prompt strategy, their independent task initiations increased. (Contains references.)…

Higgins, Norman C. – 1972
The lack of standardization in research involving pictorial variables has made it difficult to clarify the functions of pictorial stimuli in learning. This study sought to determine whether selected methods of rendering pictorial illustrations influenced the number and type of descriptive words evoked in a verbal association task. Normally the…

Travers, Robert M. W. – 1969
Beginning with a survey of work previously done on the subject, this study attempts to learn more about how, and to what extent, children benefit from pictorial illustrations, with a view to improving instructional materials. Three areas were investigated with experiments using children from nursery schools and kindergarten to sixth grade. The…
