The study assessed task performance of 25 hyperactive and 22 normal children (six to ten years old) with and without within-task color, holding task complexity constant. (Author)

A review of the literature on the spatial functioning of the blind, the results of a questionnaire of 75 sighted college students and their parents, and results of a study of 87 blind and seeing adults' performance on three spatial tasks are presented. The review suggested that adventitiously blind individuals perform better than congenitally…

Subjects recalled the more rewarding stimuli significantly better. (MH)

Results clearly show a preference for correctly classified familiar shapes over their novel counterparts. (Authors)

The purposes of this study are: (1) to attempt to show the weakness of the theory of a two-stage process of attending, i.e. having both separate and ordered focusing and elaborating aspects; and (2) to offer an alternative approach whereby both focusing and elaborating are under the service of cognitive variables. The discussion covers the issue…

Study further examined the effects of forced-choice trials on dimensional preferences. (Author)

Response patterns of deaf and hearing children in matching visual stimuli employing the dimensions of color, size, orientation, and form were compared. (KW)

Data suggest that verbal coding of visual stimuli has its primary effect on recognition memory via increased rehearsal efficiency in short-term memory. (Authors)

A study to determine whether the differential development of conceptual tempo can predict preferences. Conceptual tempo predicted preferences in color-form sorting among 67 children ranging in age from 44 to 65 months. (WY)
