Duchowny, Michael S. – 1974
This study focused on the identification of specific neonatal temperamental characteristics which may act as early modifiers of mother-infant interaction. Two hypotheses were investigated: (1) certain infant behaviors might be distinguished by the mothers and these characteristics might selectively contribute to the mother's self-image; and (2) an…

Children's Television Workshop, New York, NY. – 1968
Children's Television Workshop (CTW) is an experiment in the instruction of preschool children through the medium of broadcast television. This document, which incorporates, extends, and supersedes an earlier report of a meeting to establish priorities among goals for CTW, serves six related purposes: (1) it attempts to reflect the suggestions of…

Williams, Clarence M., Ed.; Debes, John L., Ed. – 1970
The proceedings of the first national conference on visual literacy held in Rochester, New York (March 23-6, 1969) contain papers describing the concept of visual literacy (defined as vision competencies of integrating and interpreting sensory experiences fundamental to learning and communication). Related research is explored in areas such as…

Klein, Isobel; Marsh, Helen R. – 1969
Results of an investigation of the effects of perceptual training upon selected measures of reading achievement are reported. Subjects were 87 second-grade children of average intelligence who had evidenced reading difficulties as well as perceptual deficits. They were chosen from the Glen Cove, New York, school district on the basis of their…

Orem, R.C., Ed. – 1968
This book is devoted to a number of original articles on the application of the Montessori method for the education of the disadvantaged. The development of the method, its specific advantages for disadvantaged youngsters, special features of Montessori education, and integration into certain viewpoints about child development, learning, and…

Feshbach, Seymour; Adelman, Howard – 1973
Two alternative models for identifying kindergarten children with a high risk of becoming reading failures were compared in this study. One model places primary emphasis on psychometric test procedures assessing linguistic and perceptual-motor skills related to reading readiness. The alternative strategy is based upon the kindergarten teacher's…

McCabe, Mary Pat – 1973
Presented for new special education teachers is a brochure containing descriptions and approaches to use of equipment and materials that aid in remediation of learning disabilities in elementary school children. The brochure is said to be based on the assumption that the new teacher understands the major theories which deal with learning…

Abravanel, Eugene – 1973
The growth of spatial awareness and representation was studied in children between ages five and nine. A group of thirteen tasks was administered to subjects three times with periods of approximately six months among sessions. The tasks were selected to measure understanding of projective spatial properties (straight line trajectories,…

Langstaff, Anne L.; And Others – 1973
Compared was the performance of 17 preschool and 10 early elementary educable mentally retarded (EMR) children with the performance of 50 normal preschool children on a developmental sequence of tasks in visual perception. Tested were the skills of recognition, discrimination, recall, and reconstruction of common objects, size concepts, shape…

Langstaff, Anne L.; Higgins, Marilyn – 1973
Compared was the performance of nine educable mentally retarded (EMR) children (mean age 9 years) with the performance of 50 normal kindergarten children on a test of visual perception at the abstract level. The test of 17 items involved the dimensions of size, shape, and color at four steps of skill attainment (recognition, discrimination,…

Brown, Donald R.; Ottinger, D. R. – 1970
Four studies with infants and preschool-age children examined various pattern perception tasks considered to be related to the perceptual basis of the development of reading skills. Study 1 used 28 neonates to test the hypothesis that supplemental stimulation (rocking, patting, holding) has measurable effects upon attention to visual patterns.…

Keogh, Barbara – 1972
Two Masters' theses, by Andrea Weiss and Melinda Welles, pursuing related questions were synthesized into a final report, "Field Independence-Dependence, Reflection-Impulsivity, and Problem-Solving Styles of Preschool Children," of which this interim report is a summary. The major purposes of both investigations were to determine: (1)…

Gibson, Eleanor J. – 1971
The work described in this report is aimed at understanding the role of cognitive development, especially perceptual development, in the reading process and its acquisition. The papers included describe: (1) a theory of perceptual learning, (2) an investigation of the perception of morphological information, (3) the role of categorical semantic…

Langstaff, Anne L.; Volkmor, Cara B. – 1971
A model for sequencing tasks in the area of visual perception was developed. This paper reports an attempt to validate the structure of the model. The performance of 50 normal preschool children on a 47 item test was studied. The results obtained support the use of the model as a framework for developing visual perception tasks. (Author)

D'Annunzio, Anthony; Steg, Doreen E. – 1972
The effects of certain procedures as part of the curriculum in early childhood on the perceptual readiness of children exposed to it are explored. The procedures include: (1) the testing of each child to determine perceptual strengths and weaknesses; (2) the development of "learning print" for each child: a description of integrities and deficits…
