Fifty-eight kindergarten children were assessed on traditional presentations involving the conservation of number and liquid. Each conservation test contained two different items and began with the stimuli quantitatively and perceptually equal. Two other conservation tasks for number and liquid with initial nonequivalence followed. Performance on…

Event-related Potentials (ERPs) were recorded to both auditory and visual stimuli from the scalps of nine autistic males and nine normal controls (all Ss between 12 and 22 years of age) to examine the differences in information processing strategies. Ss were tested on three different tasks: an auditory missing stimulus paradigm, a visual color…

The booklet provides an overview on vision therapy to aid writers, editors, and broadcasters help parents, teachers, older adults, and all consumers learn more about vision therapy. Following a description of vision therapy or vision training, information is provided on how and why vision therapy works. Additional sections address providers of…

Research has demonstrated the occurrence of two structurally distinct modes of vocalization in the infant/mother pair--coaction and alternation--that change developmentally over the first year of the infant's life. The present study investigated the vocalization latencies of three infant/mother pairs at three stages of infant development: at 10…

Attempts to specify whether previously reported limitations on young children's full-report capacity lay in a smaller amount of available information, in a shorter trace duration of information in visual information storage (VIS), or in poorer coding of information into permanent storage. (Author/ED)

Investigates the development of evaluative and taxonomic encoding in 7-, to 8-, and 11-year-old children's memories, and related experimental findings to recent work on the development of encoding in memory. (Author/ED)

Suggests that the iconic memory impairment of retarded subjects is attributable in part to mental retardation and not simply to low mental age. (Author/ED)

We tested human performance on the Euclidean Traveling Salesman Problem using problems with 6-50 cities. Results confirmed our earlier findings that: (a) the time of solving a problem is proportional to the number of cities, and (b) the solution error grows very slowly with the number of cities. We formulated a new version of a pyramid model. The…

The present study investigated directly the perceiver's selective control over the processing of hypercapacity verbal or pictorial inputs. (Author)

In the present study, and attempt was made to clarify whether right visual field superiority, in terms of shorter latencies to verbal material, transcends the directional scanning tendencies associated with the stimuli. (Author)

Describes recent experiments at Cornell University; at schools in East Cleveland, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Kentucky; and at Middle Island School in Brookhaven, New York. (MLF)
