The influence of cues in the visual peripheral field is not a random one.

Eleven to fourteen year olds judged the size of eight angles. Subjects were grouped according to reading ability and their nonverbal intelligence was measured. Significant differences in performance were found in relation to age and ability variables, and between the angle-size ranges of 0 to 90 degrees and 90 to 180 degrees. (Author/RD)

The contrast between holistic and differentiated perception of multidimensional stimuli is reconceptualized. Hypotheses about the experiential status of dimensions within holistic perception were tested as explanations of children's general perceptual mode and of adults' integral mode. Three levels of dimensional status are described. (Author/RD)

There have been a number of studies of the diagnosis and remediation of learning disabilities. Such factors as visual perception, learning style and strategies, and modality deficits are examined. The efficacy of various treatment approaches is reviewed. The importance of utilizing sophisticated remediation techniques is discussed. (Author)

Voluntary Visual Attention concerns "natural" viewing behavior or visual browsing when the subject is under no constraints regarding the distribution of attention. A general overview of this area of psychological investigation is presented. (Author/JKS)

The study was designed to investigate the validity and reliability of the Motor-Free Visual Perception Test (MVPT) when used with 46 educable mentally retarded Ss (6-8 years old). (Author/SBH)

The differential effect of amphetamine optical isomers on Bender Gestalt performance was examined in 31 hyperkinetic minimally brain dysfunctioned children between the ages of 4 and 12 years, using a double-blind Latin-square crossover comparison. (Author)

A comparison was made of the reading errors of poor second-grade readers with low scores on geometric figure-copying tests with the errors of poor readers with high scores on such tests. Results indicated quantitative but not qualitative differences in the errors made. (A A)

Recent empirical research into the meaning of words for color provides evidence that contradicts two widely held beliefs in linguistics and the philosophy of language. This paper presents a summary of this evidence, uses it as a basis to construct a general model of basic color-term semantics, and explores the implications of this model for…

The study examined the hemispheric laterality of 39 deaf children in the upper primary and intermediate grades. (Author)

Investigates the learning abilities of infants, how handicapped children learn, and what types of programs can be used to help handicapped children to learn. (RK)

This article outlines an inservice program for regular teachers dealing with learning disabled students, with emphasis upon identification of problems and ways of dealing with them. (JD)

Explains the hierarchic structure of the mammalian visual system. Proposes a model in which feedback pathways serve to modify sensory stimuli in ways that enhance and complete sensory input patterns. Investigates the functioning of the system through computer simulations. (ML)

Studied perceptual processes in rating the good-lookingness of male compared to female faces, finding that more refined distinctions and discriminations, more extreme positive and negative ratings, and more concensus occur for female than for male faces. Facial expression (e.g., smiling) affected the rating of female more than of male faces.…
