Martin, Rebekah; Wilkins, Julia – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2022
The likelihood of teaching a student with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has steadily increased over the past two decades. However, the practical information about working with students with ASD has not increased at a similar rate. Teachers may therefore be unaware of simple modifications they can make to their classrooms to meet the needs of…

Gilroy, Lee A.; Hock, Howard S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2004
The perception of 2nd-order, texture-contrast-defined motion was studied for apparent-motion stimuli composed of a pair of spatially displaced, simultaneously visible checkerboards. It was found that background-relative, counter-changing contrast provided the informational basis for the perception of 2nd-order apparent motion; motion began where…

Di Lollo, Vincent; Muhlenen, Adrian von; Enns, James T.; Bridgeman, Bruce – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2004
A brief target that is visible when displayed alone can be rendered invisible by a trailing stimulus (metacontrast masking). It has been difficult to determine the temporal dynamics of masking to date because increments in stimulus duration have been invariably confounded with apparent brightness (Bloch's law). In the research reported here,…

Welde, William L.; Cream, Bertram W. – 1972
An experiment was conducted to determine the influence of three variables on the perception of the psychophysical phenomenon of flicker in wide angle cathode ray tube (CRT) displays. The three independent variables treated in the experiment were: 3, 6, and 9 foot-lambers (FL) illumination levels; four images, three static and one dynamic; and 26…

Srivastava, Rajendra K.; Peel, Thomas S. – 1968
A research study and the intent and purpose of its experiments are outlined to support the premise that "a change in the color of an environment will bring a change in the pattern of human movement within that environment". Experiment cited is concerned with the color variables of light beige and dark brown in a controlled environment with museum…

Potenski, Donald H. – Mental Retardation, 1993
Nineteen people (ages 11-21) with profound mental retardation and multiple handicaps were given visual stimulation in a blacklight environment. Results indicated that students performed better under conditions of blacklight than normal light for tracking and reaching, as the blacklight removed distracting stimuli and exaggerated critical features.…
