Compared the use of color in physical design features associated with the exterior and interior designs of 101 child care centers in Alabama. Found that color was evidenced on the exterior of the centers at just over half of the sample. The interior environments had warm colors and bright accents in the setting; however, the majority of centers…

An attempt is made to provide chemistry teachers with a chemical demonstration of a clock reaction for the winter holiday season that changes in color from green to red to green again which is used as didactic tool to introduce students to many of the basic principles of kinetics. The reaction involves the oxidation of iodide ion with persulfate…

For mental health professionals, art assessment is a useful tool for patient evaluation and diagnosis. Consideration of various color-related elements is important in art assessment. This correlational study introduces the concept of variety of color as a new color-related element of an artwork. This term represents a comprehensive use of color,…

The goal-directed theory of imitation (GOADI) states that copying of action outcomes (e.g., turning a light switch) takes priority over imitation of the means by which those outcomes are achieved (e.g., choice of effector or grip). The object [fewer than] effector [fewer than] grip error pattern in the pen-and-cups task provides strong support for…

Clock reactions based upon competing oxidation and reduction reactions of iodine and starch as the most popular type of chemistry example is presented to illustrate the redox phenomena, reaction kinetics, and principles of chemical titration. The examination of the photophysical principles underlying the iodine fluorescence quenching clock…

This self-instructional module includes learner objectives, text, practice exercises and answer sheets addressing developments in research on learning environments and why instructional technologists should take the lead in applying the resulting knowledge to the design of training areas. Favorable learning environments are described in general…

This bulletin discusses the use of color in school buildings and describes those colors specifically designed for use in schools. Part I discusses the difficulty of using color in physical environments where many different and often conflicting needs must be met, encourages the systematic consideration of these needs, and suggests principles or…

Drawing lessons can be enriched by creating original coloring books in elementary school art classes. (DS)

Two methods are used to test the hypothesis that natural categories have reference point stimuli in relation to which other stimuli of that same category are judged. (Author/DEP)

Why a portapak is not necessarily a beginner's production tool. (Author)

A technical description of how the BBC is converting to color broadcasts. (HB)

The results of the experiment demonstrated that Down's syndrome children are equal to non-disabled children matched on mental age, in their ability to discriminate between colors. Both Down's syndrome and non-disabled children made errors of the same kind. Other undifferentiated mentally handicapped children are less consistent in their color…

Performance of hyperactive and control elementary children (total N=70) on a noncolored search task was compared with a color stimulation version. It was concluded that performance on search-attentional tasks is normalized for hyperactive Ss, by added color, but that gains wear off more rapidly for hyperactive Ss. (CL)

Color coated outdoor playing surfaces have created new interest in school recreation programs. (MLF)

Discusses the materials needed and steps involved in making color transparencies. (SB)
