This study hypothesized that drawings by Native American and Caucasian students would evidence different visual images when drawn from the same visual stimulus. Students in ninth-grade art…

The deficit in counting ability was examined through assessment of counting and tracking task performances of 18 adolescent educable mentally retarded (EMR) boys and through comparision of performances of 20 EMR boys and 20 younger normal boys. (Author/MC)

Sixteen deaf-blind, retarded, preschool postrubella children (mean age 6 years) were tested in an operant procedure which allowed them to select preferred illumination feeback as reinforcement for operating a simple two-choice lever switch. (Author/MC)

Assesses subjects' information output after presentation of pictorial, word, and sentence stimuli. Output is measured in two modes of response: reconstruction and verbal description. Complexity of the stimuli is demonstrated to have important effects on perceptual information processing. (DP)

Eight reflective and eight impulsive preschool children were tested in a forced-choice recognition memory task. Reflective children made more correct recognition choices than did impulsive children under all experimental conditions. (ST)

The present paper is concerned particularly with the processes underlying the perception of the upright, that is, an object in its usual, or familiar, position in space. (Author/RK)

Study attempted to determine the extent to which visual perception skills are related to language and general ability in nursery school children. (Author)

Eye movement data indicate that perceptual efficiency increases with familiarization of graphemes. Research supported by grant from National Institute of Health. (DS)

A resume of the courses taught by the Centre for film and television education at all levels of education. It is also valuable for the training of visual perception in general. (Author/HB)

Outlines a course in photography for use in secondary school art classes to develop perceptual awareness and extend range of vision. (DS)
