Randall, Tom M. – 1977
The purpose of this study was to attempt to train the horizontality concept in a group of first graders who were non-operational on the horizontality concept but transitional on what Piaget has termed the precursor concepts of distance and length conservation. There were two groups of subjects (training and control), all of whom had failed a…

Stelmach, George E. – 1977
It is argued that the current theoretical orientation of motor behavior research toward information processing is only at the descriptive level. An outline of requirements for motor behaviorists to discover the mental operations that precede motor performance is presented. It is suggested that unless basic knowledge is obtained on how movement…

Blom, Gaston E. – 1968
Perception is a process by which simple and complex information (stimuli) is experienced. We gain information about how such stimulus inputs are experienced by a child, for example, by his responses or outputs. Outputs are in the form of vocalizations and motor acts. Thus, the perceptual process is frequently called perceptual-motor. But the…

Caldwell, Learohn – 1977
The purpose of this publication is to introduce the elementary classroom teacher or physical education specialist to a creative approach to movement education which can be implemented with limited facilities, equipment and funds. The first section, concerned with organization of programs, includes recommended percentages of time per year to be…

Brecke, Fritz H.; And Others – 1976
Forty-five student pilots were the subjects of a study to identify variables which influence transfer from cognitive pretraining to perceptual-motor skill acquisition. The subjects were divided into four experimental groups. All groups used a linear self-instructional program designed to teach a specific flying maneuver. All programs had the same…

Poindexter, Hally B. W. – 1976
This is a review of concepts based upon scientific evidence and observation that may prove helpful to the athletic coach of any age group, any skill level, either sex, and in any environment. It is written with the belief that athletics should exist for athletes and that the coach should be the person who assists the athlete to gain individual…

Sparrow, Sara S. – 1969
The purpose of this study was to determine how retarded readers differed from normal readers in the various ways laterality is manifested. An additional purpose was to investigate the development of laterality as seen across several age levels. Subjects were 80 white male 9-, 10-, 11-, and 12-year-olds from regular classrooms in suburban…

Spangenberg, Ronald W. – 1971
The learning effects of display motion in procedural learning tasks were examined in two studies. In the first study, two videotapes with identical sound tracks were constructed--one using the recorded television camera motion, the other substituting a parallel series of still camera shots. The results showed a superiority of the motion condition.…

Monmouth County Dept. of Education, Freehold, NJ. – 1965
Research indicates the existence of a relationship between the level of visual perceptual skills in the first grade and academic success in later grades. Special visual-motor training was given to some 275 primary school children with a like number of children acting as a control group. The control group was one grade ahead of the experimental…
