Szeto, Janet W.; Salome, Richard A. – Studies in Art Education, 1977
Investigates the experimental treatments (scanning practice and perceptual training-drawing) developed by Salome and Szeto, 1976, in an attempt to determine the training effects upon students' representational drawing performances. (Author/RK)

Breitmeyer, Bruno G.; Ganz, Leo – Psychological Review, 1976
This paper reviewed briefly the major types of masking effects obtained with various methods and the major theories or models that have been proposed to account for these effects, and outlined a three-mechanism model of visual pattern masking based on psychophysical and neurophysiological properties of the visual system.

Egeth, Howard E.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1976
A series of experiments tested a recent suggestion that vertical symmetry of a stimulus display can serve as a visual diagnostic for responding "same" in a letter-matching task. The data of chief interest were same reaction times to vertically symmetric (e.g., AA) and asymmetric (e.g., LL) displays, each composed of two side-by-side uppercase…

Pomerantz, James R.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1977
The experiments reported here are aimed at exploring in more detail the possibility that context can improve perception itself. In particular, they are concerned with clarifying the conditions under which context might aid perception and with localizing the stage of processing at which context would have its effects. (Author)

Salome, R. A.; Reeves, D. – Studies in Art Education, 1972
Cumulative evidence obtained from this and other studies suggests that perceptual training to attend to shape and object contours will affect representational drawing. (Authors/MB)

Laws, Glynis; And Others – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1995
Investigates the influence of linguistic structure on non-linguistic cognition by comparing Russian and English behavior on tasks involving the color blue. Russians, who differentiate this region into "dark blue" and "light blue," were expected to separate blues more often than English subjects for whom the colors belong to one lexical category.…

Wood, Nancy E. – 1970
This report describes an experiment concerned with a possible relationship between the inability to learn basic educational skills, such as reading and writing, and the inability to organize incoming stimuli for communication purposes, in spite of adequate intellectual potential. The study had three main tasks. The first problem was to develop a…
