Aust, Ronald J. – 1987

The study examined the effectiveness of enhancing perceptual differentiation in the training of four developmentally delayed preschool children who were so low-functioning that they did not demonstrate oddity responding (ability to choose one distinct stimulus from a group of identical stimuli). Instead of the Arabic numerals used in the original…

Lucas, Peter A.; Di Vesta, Francis J. – 1978
A computer-displayed 3-D tic-tac-toe game was used to investigate adult perceptual biases in dealing with diagonal line orientations. Also investigated was the interaction between prior spatial ability and the effects of explicit visual modeling and structured practice on performance. Results indicated a strong selective difficulty in dealing with…
