Lemire, David – Journal of College Reading and Learning, 2001
Describes five approaches to learning styles that may be of interest to college teachers. Presents a short background to learning styles including some of the research that has been generated over the last couple of decades. Discusses the modalities approach, which refers to the three basic ways people learn: visually, auditorily, and haptically.…

Gallagher, Victoria; Zagacki, Kenneth S. – Quarterly Journal of Speech, 2005
This essay demonstrates how visual works of art may operate rhetorically to articulate public knowledge, to illustrate the moral challenges facing citizens, and to shape commemorative practices, through an analysis of Norman Rockwell's civil rights paintings of the 1960s. By examining the rhetorical aspects of these paintings, including their form…

Blasingame, James, Jr.; Nilsen, Alleen Pace – English Journal, 2005
A lesson focusing on the names of muscles but relating them to more common words is presented, as current research suggests that the best way to teach vocabulary is to group related words. Students create visual representations of word groups and teach the words to the class.

Roberts, Martha Anne; Besner, Derek – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
Nine experiments show that in the context of Stroop dilution the extent to which flanking distractors are processed depends on the nature of the material at fixation. A Stroop effect is eliminated if a word or a nonword is colored and appears at fixation and the color word appears as a flanker. A Stroop effect is observed when the color carrier at…

Hodsoll, John P.; Humphreys, Glyn W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
We investigated the effect of contextual cuing (M. M. Chun & Y. Jiang, 1998) within the preview paradigm (D. G. Watson & G. W. Humphreys, 1997). Contextual cuing was shown with a 10-item letter search but not with more crowded 20-item displays. However, contextual learning did occur in a preview procedure in which 10 preview items were followed by…

Slater, Jill A.; Lujan, Heidi L.; DiCarlo, Stephen E. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2007
Students have specific learning style preferences, and these preferences may be different between male and female students. Understanding a student's learning style preference is an important consideration when designing classroom instruction. Therefore, we administered the visual, auditory, reading/writing, kinesthetic (VARK) learning preferences…

Weber, Andrea; Grice, Maetine; Crocker, Matthew W. – Cognition, 2006
An eye-tracking experiment examined whether prosodic cues can affect the interpretation of grammatical functions in the absence of clear morphological information. German listeners were presented with scenes depicting three potential referents while hearing temporarily ambiguous SVO and OVS sentences. While case marking on the first noun phrase…

Riggs, Kevin J.; McTaggart, James; Simpson, Andrew; Freeman, Richard P. J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2006
Using the Luck and Vogel change detection paradigm, we sought to investigate the capacity of visual working memory in 5-, 7-, and 10-year-olds. We found that performance on the task improved significantly with age and also obtained evidence that the capacity of visual working memory approximately doubles between 5 and 10 years of age, where it…

Lerner, Neal – Journal of Technical Writing and Communication, 2007
The use of visual representation to learn science can be traced to Louis Agassiz, Harvard Professor of Zoology, in the mid-19th century. In Agassiz's approach, students were to study nature through carefully observing, drawing and then thinking about what the observations might add up to. However, implementation of Agassiz's student-centered…

Seels, Barbara; Fredette, Barbara – 1993
This paper examines the role of myths and symbols in society through the use of a hypothetical dialogue. The paper begins by explaining what myths are and the functions they serve. Mythology and mythical symbols of past and present are compared. These changes in the nature of mythological symbols are explored through a dialogue between an artist…

Levie, Howard; Levie, Diane – AV Communication Review, 1975
In two experiments, volunteer subjects were asked to look at words and pictures, with or without an interference task. The results are interpreted to support a theory of a separate but not totally independent pictorial memory system. (Editor)

Blachowicz, Camille L. Z. – 1973
This annotated bibliography lists sources which attempt to define the boundaries of visual literacy and the possible relationship between the development of visual skills and verbal skills, particularly with regard to reading. The contents are divided into four sections: (1) references on nonverbal communication; (2) general reading on visual…
