Souther, Arthur F.; Banks, Martin S. – 1979
This study explores the reason why very young infants are unable to respond differentially to faces and the cause for developmental changes in infant face perception by age 3 months. Linear systems analysis (LSA) and the contrast sensitivity function (CSF) were used to estimate the facial pattern information available to 1- and 3-month-old…

THE HYPOTHESIS THAT ENVIRONMENTAL CIRCUMSTANCES INFLUENCE THE PROCESS OF KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION IS DISCUSSED. THE ROLE OF PARTIAL AND FULL SENSORY ISOLATION AND DEPRIVATION AND ITS NEGATIVE EFFECT ON LEARNING IS SHOWN TO BE SUPPORTED BY RESEARCH. THE INSTITUTE FOR DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES AT NEW YORK UNIVERSITY IS ENGAGED IN RESEARCH DEALING WITH THE…

Oakland Unified School District, CA. – 1964
THE USE OF THE OPAQUE PROJECTOR SEEMS TO BE AN EFFECTIVE AID FOR DEVELOPING GOOD VISUAL DISCRIMINATION, LANGUAGE AWARENESS AND READING SKILLS IN IMAGERY FORMATION, SPEED, PHRASING, INTONATION AND EYE MOVEMENT. IT SHOULD BE PART OF A WELL-ROUNDED PROGRAM INCLUDING THE RECOGNIZED TECHNIQUES FOR TEACHING CULTURALLY DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN. READING…

MACCOBY, NATHAN; AND OTHERS – 1963
THIS STUDY INVESTIGATED THE EXTENT TO WHICH SOUND FILM RECORDINGS OF PUPILS IN TEACHING-LEARNING SITUATIONS CAN BE USED AS A BASIS FOR TRAINING TEACHERS TO IMPROVE THEIR ACCURACY IN INTERPRETING NONVERBAL COMMUNICATIONS, AND THE EXTENT OF DIFFERENCES AMONG TEACHERS, NEW TEACHERS, AND NONTEACHERS IN THEIR ABILITY TO INTERPRET NONVERBAL…

Sherman, James A. – 1967
Two 4-year-old children were shown the use of an apparatus whereby they could obtain toys and candy by making certain responses. The apparatus was a matching-to-sample device on which were arranged five response buttons in a circle and one in the middle. Each response button had a display window for the stimulus. Four of the five windows on the…

Wender, Karl – 1970
Models for multidimensional scaling use metric spaces with additive difference metrics. Two important properties of additive difference metrics are decomposability and intradimensional subtractivity. A prediction was derived from these properties and tested experimentally. Eleven non-psychology students were used as subjects. Rectangles varying in…

Lott, Deborah; And Others – 1968
A proposal that the normal reader does not pay attention to individual letters but to sets of features which are characteristic of a word as a whole is presented and tested in this investigation. It was hypothesized that the reader learns (1) to extract distinctive feature information simultaneously from several parts of the configuration and (2)…

Allington, Richard L. – 1974
This study was designed to determine whether subjects who received one of three treatments of color cues in an instructional program differed significantly on three learning tasks. Subjects were randomly selected from the kindergarten populations of two Michigan public schools and were assigned to one of three treatment groups. Eight letter-like…

Hyman, Joan S.; Cohen, S. Alan – 1974
The stimulus properties of the letters b, d, p, and q were investigated in an attempt to demonstrate that the common reversal of these letters by beginning readers is in part determined by the vertical aspect of the stimulus figure. One hundred eighty kindergarteners were randomly selected from a racially mixed population and randomly assigned to…

Kreutzer, Mary Anne; Charlesworth, William R. – 1973
Forty infants, 10 at 4, 6, 8, and 10 months, were confronted by an experimenter who acted out angry, happy, sad, and neutral facial experssions, accompanied with appropriate vocalizations. The infants' responses were recorded on video tape and rated for attention, negative and positive affect, and activity. Results indicate that the 4-month old…

Friedman, Steven; And Others – 1973
This study uses a habituation paradigm to systematically investigate the discrepancy hypothesis with male and female new borns. In addition, multiple visual response measures are used in monitoring the habituation process and the infant's response to various degrees of novelty. Ss were 36 apparently normal newborns (half of each sex) ranging in…

Sutherland, N. S. – 1969
This report summarizes research concerning stimulus analyzing mechanisms, giving the main experimental findings and theoretical developments. Most of the data and the experimental findings are to be found in the 89 publications listed in the bibliography. The research is discussed under five main headings: (1) shape recognition, (2) selective…

Upchurch, Winifred Brook – 1971
The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which a preassessment of motor development and perceptual skills predicts achievement in word recognition for kindergarten children. The instruments used for evaluation were the Lincoln-Oseretsky Motor Development Scale, Thurstone's Identical Forms Test, Wepman Auditory Discrimination Test,…

Tharp, David A.; Redding, Gordon M. – 1976
The efficacy of gating in the processing of simple, multidimensional stimuli was investigated. In Experiment 1, a continuous classification task was used, with subjects sorting cards according to binary dimensions of line orientation and location. Results suggested that orientation and location are integral dimensions, facilitation occurring with…
