Lee, Hyunjeong; Plass, Jan L.; Homer, Bruce D. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2006
How can cognitive load in visual displays of computer simulations be optimized? Middle-school chemistry students (N = 257) learned with a simulation of the ideal gas law. Visual complexity was manipulated by separating the display of the simulations in two screens (low complexity) or presenting all information on one screen (high complexity). The…

Zhengtao, Li – Frontiers of Education in China, 2006
So far, pedagogy has not formed its own unique visual angle and thinking mode to understand humans and the world in general; consequently, it is always counting upon other subjects, which is the root of the crisis in pedagogy. Focusing on the "visual angle" and "thinking mode", this article puts forward a new proposition…

Fields, Alexa W.; Shelton, Amy L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
Spatial skills are known to vary widely among normal individuals. This project was designed to address whether these individual differences are differentially related to large-scale environmental learning from route (ground-level) and survey (aerial) perspectives. Participants learned two virtual environments (route and survey) with limited…

Gellatly, Angus; Pilling, Michael; Cole, Geoff; Skarratt, Paul – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
Object substitution masking (OSM) is said to occur when a perceptual object is hypothesized that is mismatched by subsequent sensory evidence, leading to a new hypothesized object being substituted for the first. For example, when a brief target is accompanied by a longer lasting display of nonoverlapping mask elements, reporting of target…

Mou, Weimin; McNamara, Timothy P.; Rump, Bjorn; Xiao, Chengli – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
Four experiments investigated the nature of spatial representations used in locomotion. Participants learned the layout of several objects and then pointed to the objects while blindfolded in 3 conditions: before turning (baseline), after turning to a new heading (updating), and after disorientation (disorientation). The internal consistency of…

Coggins, Debra; Kravin, Drew; Coates, Grace Davila; Carroll, Maria Dreux – Corwin Press, 2007
Whether teaching mathematics in a contained elementary classroom, as a specialized math teacher, or as an ELL teacher, this new resource will help meet the needs of English Language Learners. Offering strategies, guidelines, and classroom vignettes, this book demonstrates how to adjust mathematics instruction to make the learning less…

Wang, Lihui – International Education Journal, 2007
In this study, the Felder learning styles inventory was administered to students who were non-English majors in a Chinese University. Descriptive statistics identified that participants do vary in their preference for particular learning styles with a great variety of learning style preferences distributed unevenly among the sample population. A…

Pett, Dennis – 1993
This paper reviews two studies of color preference and the relationships between color and legibility. The Gustin study in 1991 dealt with the legibility of and preference for projected slides with colored backgrounds and white text. The order of background color preference was cyan, blue, green, yellow, magenta, and red. The follow-up study by…

ERIC Clearinghouse on Handicapped and Gifted Children, Reston, VA. – 1981
This fact sheet defines vision, outlines the visual skills needed for school achievement (ocular motility, binocularity, eye-hand coordination skills, and visual form perception), and describes how visual problems are evaluated and treated. The fact sheet also lists clues to look for when a visual problem is suspected, including the appearance of…

Arnheim, Rudolf – 1968
The study undertakes to clarify and redefine some of the concepts underlying the relations between visual perception and thinking. A sample bibliography suggests sources for future research. Psychological and psysiological theory is shown historically to have separated the two mental functions in principle. Correspondingly, present-day education,…
