Discusses use of films of realistic situations, when actual situations are not available for student to experience. Film is used as a stimulus. Trainee response and feedback are analyzed. Applicability and feasibility of film stimulus are discussed. (RB)

Accentuated conditions, during which animated motion pictures of objects blended into their customary printed words, was found more effective than the conventional look-say presentation of objects and words in teaching retarded persons to read. (KW)

The results of this experiment indicate that continuous stimulation has a marked pacifying effect on young infants. (WY)

Outlines a method by which observation time as measured by visual fixation on an object in the visual field can be predicted for N items viewed simultaneously in the field when the time for observing each item presented singly is known. (Author/MG)

Subjects recalled the more rewarding stimuli significantly better. (MH)

Study supported by the Research and Development Center for Learning and Re-Education, University of Wisconsin, pursuant to contracts with the U.S. Office of Education.

Errors made by 5- and 8-year-old children asked to draw a model were investigated in two studies. Results from both indicated that 5-year-old children are more likely to produce visually accurate drawings than had previously been supposed; for both ages difficulty in producing accurate drawings occurred when drawing rules and conventions…

Three experiments demonstrate that the context of a two-object array greatly influences the way in which young children represent the array in their copies. Children were aware of differences in orientation and in the nature of paired objects and were concerned with marking these differences in their drawings. (RH)
