The postural-sway response of five learning disabled (LD) and five nondisabled children was evaluated using a force platform. From statistical analysis of the two groups, the LD children appeared to use visual input to compensate for postural problems and had significant difficulty controlling posture with eyes closed.

To investigate the effect on young children's coding of spatial information, an array of boxes was varied in number, size, and arrangement and was shown to 20 toddlers. Only the number of boxes defining the left and right sides of the array influenced performance; that is, multiple boxes were associated with the use of external objects as spatial…

Examines discrimination of geometric shapes by three-month-old infants who were presented with geometric stimuli moving laterally at two different velocities. Finds that subjects discriminate between geometric forms at velocities that, according to previous findings, might interfere with shape discrimination. Discusses the possible interactive…

The "child's eye view' of my earlier paper referred to judgments made by preschoolers; Harris and Schaller studied only schoolchildren, whose responses to some figures as letters would be anticipated by my results. I question their claim that their procedures changed the apparent nature of orientation judgments. (Author)

Three groups of 8-year-old children were selected: one preferring auditory over visual stimuli, one preferring visual over auditory, and one with no preference. The students then learned lists of CVC trigrams presented through preferred and nonpreferred modalities. Preferred modalities triggered the best recall. (Authors/JA)

Data indicate that the Visual-Sequential Memory subtest of the ITPA and the Knox Cube Test measure different aspects of visual-sequential memory ability. (KW)

The tracking behavior of Infants up to 5 months of age was studied using linear and circular trajectories, with partial occlusion of the trajectories. Results indicate that it is not until the age of about 16 weeks that infants can be said to be tracking a moving object as an object. (Author/WY)
