The objectives of this study were twofold: (1) to empirically identify and analyze trained and untrained observers' affective responses to a representative collection of paintings for the purpose of constructing art differential instruments, and (2) to use these instruments to objectively identify and evaluate the major affective factors and…

The relation between type of label and perception of faces was assessed. Sixty-four second and sixth grade Ss were randomly assigned to four experimental conditions in which various kinds of labeling training were associated with four purple and green smiling and frowning faces. Ss then judged the similarity of pairs of the faces. Results revealed…

Black-and-white or color versions of four types of illustrations (simple line, detailed line, photograph of model, photograph of specimen) of the heart were used to complement oral instruction in a study to determine which type of visualization would be most effective in facilitating the achievement of students of different IQ levels.

This article draws attention to the use of color in mathematics instruction. Several examples are given, such as Cuisenaire rods, number lines, magic squares, and combinatorial problems. (MP)

Investigates what appeals to students in using coloring books and whether they use them in imaginative ways. The intent was to use the information to develop creative book activities that interest and challenge students. (Author/RK)

Despite the recurring problematic nature of the study of the interrelationships among the arts, "synaethesia" or sensory blending in its ultimate and most absolute sense might be described as the total alliance of the arts. (Author/NQ)

Attempts to determine if imagination could replace physical color and pattern in adaptation stimuli known to produce orientation-specific color aftereffects. (Editor/RK)

Discusses allomorphic relationships which can be fairly easily stated phonologically, but in which clear-cut morphological generalizations are totally obscured unless those relationships are stated as morpholexical rules. Rules belonging to the phonological component sometimes must be regarded as lexical redundancy rules that capture…

Color value of clothing and facial expression were varied in photographs of six female job applicants. Male and female business persons (N=208) judged the photographs. Facial expression significantly affected evaluations of Character-Sociability characteristics. Clothing color value influenced perceptions of Potency, only for male interviewers.…

Intermediate and junior high school art students learn to create vertical stripe designs in this introductory lesson which teaches about complementary colors, value contrast, symmetry, and texture. (RM)

Compares the logical abilities of six-year-old children with those of squirrel monkeys by using the five-term transitivity problem. Both binary and triadic versions of the tests were administered in both verbal and nonverbal modes. Children showed response profiles very similar to those of monkeys in all the conditions used. (Author/CI)

Mentally retarded and nonretarded children (N=18 each) of equal mental age read lists of nine nouns presented simultaneously in a horizontal format. Recall of items when isolated was reliably higher than when not isolated for both groups. (Author/CL)

Reports on age differences found in children's (1) ability to execute appropriate differences in the uses of color while completing partially drawn scenes; and (2) sensitivity to differences between heraldic, gradation, harmonic, and pure use of color in a matching task. (GC)

These experiments seek evidence for the existence, the operation, and the extent of influence of one type of code--a verbal, linguistic, semantic, name code--on memory. As well, they bring a new stimulus dimension, color, to this kind of test in a manner that would allow identification of individual variation in the use of different verbal labels…
