A description of a media experiment in which the data indicate that film stimuli alone appears to be the significant variable. (Author/HB)

The recall (of names) and the recognition (of orientation) of complex pictures both became more accurate with increasing exposure duration when interitem interval was held constant, but were largely unrelated within each exposure duration. (Editor)

A survey of elementary school personnel to determine view on the effective use of pictures in instruction. The survey resulted in a list of 20 criteria for assessing illustrative material. (Author)

This paper opened a workshop session designed to demonstrate a group training process using the collegial modeling process. This process was developed within the faculty of a small high school serving a correctional facility. The program described was developed to allow teachers the option to model specific behaviors to both their colleagues and…

This study was conducted to demonstrate that a context-dependent discrimination can produce learning difficulty in a pseudo-spectrogram reading task and to look at what contribution segmentation makes to that difficulty. Experiment one involved 10 subjects recruited from the University of Pittsburgh, who were shown pseudo-spectrogram patterns and…

This study examined the development of smooth visual tracking in 11 infants 2 and 3 months of age, with particular attention given to the role of expectation in tracking complex visual motion. Data were gathered by recording the image of the infant's eye as he or she tracked a small computer-generated target as it moved in a sinusoidal trajectory…

To determine whether preschool children's memory for unfamiliar faces could be facilitated by giving them orienting information about faces, 4- and 5-year-old subjects were told that they were going to play a guessing game in which they would be looking at faces and guessing which ones they had seen before. In study 1, 6 boys and 6 girls within…

An appoach to the use of sound in computer interfaces, proposed in this article, emphasizes the role of sound in conveying information about the world to the listener. This approach argues that auditory icons, i.e., caricatures of naturally occurring sounds, provide a natural way to represent dimensional data as well as conceptual objects in a…

The purpose of this experiment was to test a proposal by Paivio (1971) that visual memory images are specialized for parallel or spatiol processing, whereas verbal memory codes are specialized for sequential or temporal processing. (Author)

The short-term recall of word-triads was tested, comparing retention over three types of intervals within 24 preschoolers. Results suggest that the condition effect in short-term recall did not disrupt the long-term storage of the items. (Author/CS)

The stimulus suffix paradigm was employed to evaluate whether attributes of the precategorical acoustic storage system in children undergo significant changes with age. (ST)

This study examined the effects of four levels of nonverbal facial gestures on client verbal behavior in a quasi-interview setting. Results indicated that subjects produced significantly greater amounts of feeling when stimuli were presented by the female experimenter as opposed to the male experimenter. (Author)
