Bornstein, Marc H.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1986
Two variants of the habituation paradigm were used to investigate fine orientation discrimination and shape constancy in 34 young infants. Results demonstrate that conditions determine whether young infants show sensitivity to relatively fine variations in pattern orientation or give evidence of shape constancy with the same patterns.

Learning Disability Quarterly, 1986
The position statement of the Council for Learning Disabilities' Board of Trustees opposes the measurement and training of perceptual and perceptual-motor functions as a part of learning disability services and recommends instead that assessment and remediation focus on the primary disorders of listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning, and…

Kemler, Deborah G. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1983
Reinterprets Jeannie R. Aschkenasy and Richard D. Odom's findings (Journal of Experimental Child Psychology; v34 n3 Dec 1982) on perceptual and cognitive development. The increasing dimensionalization of stimulus relations rather than the increasing detectability or influence of stimulus differences is argued. (BJD)

Bornstein, Marc H.; Krinsky, Sharon J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1985
Four experiments assessed converging aspects of four-month-old infants' perceptions of visual patterns. Results together corroborate and extend previous findings that vertical symmetry has a special status in early perceptual development and that infants can perceive pattern wholes. (Author/AS)

Slater, Alan; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1985
Three experiments are described which relate to models of infant visual preferences and to the ways in which preferences can be modified or created by habituation. Results suggest that the Banks and Salapatek's contrast sensitivity model can be a powerful predictor of preferential looking in newborns and that preferences based on experience can be…

Arruda, Milton; And Others – Francais dans le Monde, 1984
A game using student observational skills to match tourist "types" with comments, postcards, hotel and travel advertisements, souvenirs, guidebooks and sources of travel information, photos, travel styles, and tourist attractions is outlined and illustrated. (MSE)

Metzger, Richard L.; Werner, David B. – Pediatrics, 1984
A review of the ophthalmologic, optometric, and psychological literature relating to the assumption that a relationship exists between reading failure and perceptual ability has found no evidence to support this assumption. (CL)

Lewis, Richard – Children's Literature in Education, 1983
Makes the observation that the attempt of the child to make sense of the world is not necessarily guided by traditional literary structures but by expressive tactics influenced, in large part, by what the child is thinking and struggling with at the moment. (HOD)

Silverman, Irwin W.; And Others – Child Development, 1976
Perceptual counterparts of a series of conservation of length tests were presented to subjects who were categorized as conservers or nonconservers conservation of length pre-tests, and to conservers and nonconservers given conservation length training. Perceptual performance of the untrained nonconservers was significantly worse than that of the…

Haaf, Robert A.; Brown, Cheryl J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1976
Infants at two age levels were shown six patterns which represented three levels of stimulus complexity and two types of organization, facial and nonfacial. Results agree with previous studies in suggesting a change between ages 10 and 15 weeks in dimensions which underlie infants' response to facelike patterns. (Author/HS)

Hoffmann, William E. – Visible Language, 1973

Gregory, Andrew H.; Gregory, H. Margaret – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1973
Reports a study comparing two auditory-visual integration tests, one basically that developed by Birch and the other using Morse-type stimuli. Suggests reasons why the Morse form of test was more highly correlated with reading ability than the Birch test. (TO)
