Twenty normal-hearing, sighted subjects (ages 20-42) viewed soundless videotapes of a speaker reading lists from the two forms of the Utley Lipreading Test and three from Harris' revised Central Institute for the Deaf (CID) Everyday Sentences. Results do not support the interchange of Utley and CID sentences for test-retest comparisons of…

Infants five and seven months of age participated in two studies in which two filmed facial expressions were presented with a single vocal expression characteristic of one of the facial expressions. Seven- , but not five-month-olds, increased their fixation to a facial expression when it was sound-specified. Preferences for a particular expression…

Describes process of placing poems on paper so that images emerge when the poems are viewed through an old-style stereoopticon. (SP)

Analysis of task-related errors of 160 first graders tested for their ability to conserve multiple space relations supported Piaget's notion of representational space and the importance of particular field configurations. A figure's relative position was highly important to successful performance, whereas absolute orientation was a secondary…

Art teachers must try to awaken the sensory apparatus within their students and foster the development of critical liking--liking which is a function of the expressive quality of the art object. (CK)

A developmental study of the relation between apparent size and pictorial depth demonstrated the usefulness of operant techniques in establishing equivalent differential responding and interesting stimulus equivalence in adults, 9- and 3-year-olds. (Author/AJ)

Seven experiments with a total of 480 subjects indicated that subjects visually imaging classical ambiguous figures have difficulty reconstructing the images, and that their construal of the image strongly influences what is depicted within the image. Image content, rather than image inspection, appears to be selective. (SLD)

Open-set word and sentence speech-perception test scores are commonly used as a measure of hearing abilities in children and adults using cochlear implants and/or hearing aids. These tests ore usually presented auditorily with a verbal response. In the case of children, scores are typically lower and more variable than for adults with hearing…

In the paper, we discuss the importance of network interactions between brain regions in mediating performance of sensorimotor and cognitive tasks, including those associated with language processing. Functional neuroimaging, especially PET and fMRI, provide data that are obtained essentially simultaneously from much of the brain, and thus are…

This article provides an overview of the role that interdisciplinarity plays in the Spanish education system. With this aim, we first describe the main conception of the term "interdisciplinarity" in texts written in Spanish, including other terms that have similar meaning. Then we review the role of interdisciplinarity in the Spanish…
