Children from 4 to 7 years of age were tested in a structured perceptual task in which haptic manipulation was available, but not required. The extent of haptic involvement with the stimulus material and its effect on performance in a perceptual recognition task was then determined. (Author/CB)

Recommends that one begin by ignoring the overall unemployment rate and concentrate on some particular groups with special problems in making employment policies. (DM)

Results are consistent with the assumption that subjects do not change functional stimuli because of the negative transfer produced by learning different responses to the same nominal stimuli. (Authors/CB)

Pattern of results is discussed in terms of the conceptualization that imitation required both that the observer (1) has acquired and retained the model's responses and (2) has been placed in circumstances which favor activating this learning into overt performance. (Authors)

Results suggest an age effect in which academic success at primary school is linked to stable extraversion, while success at university is associated with introversion. (Author)

As a result of the findings in the present study it seems reasonable to suggest that verbal ability tests (including reading tests) be used as screening devices for entering adult students. (Authors)

The similarity match took longer than the identity match, and the difference in latency increased as the number of lines in the pattern increased. (Author)

Imagery instructions facilitated the performance of sixth-, but not third-graders. (Authors)

The School of Allied Medical Professions at The Ohio State University has developed job descriptions in occupational therapy, and is in the process of developing curriculum guides to educate for performance in these job descriptions. (Authors)

Results supported the hypotheses that the emphasis on speed: (a) has a detrimental effect on the performance, (b) is inherent in a test-like situation, and (c) can be reduced by emphasizing in the instructions to Ss the detrimental effects of speed on the achievement of solution. (Author/CB)

Article reports on the testing of several diagnostic measures and a determination of what kinds of instructional groupings produce the most effective results in working with perceptive problems among kindergarten children. (Editor/MB)

Outerdirectedness has been defined by first author and his colleagues as a style of problem solving characterized by reliance on concrete situational cues rather than by active attempts to deduce abstract relationships. (Authors/MB)
