Auditory processing deficits and articulation disorders were studied with 30 institutionalized male delinquents (13 to 18 years old). Articulation disorders were present in over 60 percent of the delinquent Ss. (Author/SEW)

The tape-recorded cries of low- and high-risk newborn infants were rated by 150 inner-city Anglo-American, Black-American, and Cuban-American mothers during the hospital lying-in period following childbirth. Reliable differences were found between low- and high-risk infant cries on all of four perceptual responses, with culture and parental…

It appears that, although the cognitive functioning of many alcoholics remains impaired even after drinking has stopped, considerable recovery can occur. New findings now suggest the possibility of reducing cognitive dysfunction and enhancing alcoholism treatment outcomes. (CMG)

Studies suggest that primary children are teacher-motivated, prefer structure, movement, and intake while reading, and use tactual and kinesthetic senses to learn to read. Older students are less teacher-motivated, need less movement, intake, and structure, and more choice of materials, and use visual and auditory senses to learn. (Author/JM)

Although Newton's laws of motion are well known, studies have shown that many people have misconceptions about the motions of objects. Subjects of these studies tend to follow a theory held in the three centuries before Newton (impetus theory). This theory and studies examining misconceptions about motion are discussed. (JN)

The functions of spaces between words in adult reading of text were investigated in three experiments. Results were consistent with a two-process theory in which filling parafoveal spaces disrupts guidance of the next eye movement and filling foveal spaces disrupts processing of the fixated word as well. (Author/RD)

Thirty nine 11-year-old children were given the same unilateral word-naming task on two separate occasions. A test-retest reliability of .46 was a function of both reading ability and sex. (Author)
