To manipulate analytic and holistic thinking and their effects in learning, a study used visual and verbal processing modes combined with analytic and holistic learning strategies. Results showed that analytic information processing habits in college students may facilitate learning. (Author/JMK)

Results indicated a significant difference between the 18 normal readers and the 36 learning-disabled readers on tasks matching auditory temporal to visual-spatial and auditory-temporal to visual-temporal but not on the visual-temporal to visual-spatial task. Results were interpreted in terms of learning-disabled readers being deficient in…

This paper describes a theoretical framework for the investigation of some specific types of visual learning difficulties commonly experienced by biology undergraduates. The framework was developed based on the findings of three simple qualitative pilot studies. A variety of neurological, cognitive and cultural mechanisms can influence what humans…

This study attempted to show that students that are classified as visual learners will score higher on standardized tests than those students that are classified as non-visual learners because visual learners possess the traits needed to do well on standardized tests. The study used (33) visual and (33) non-visual adult learners in the adult basic…

Findings from an experiment designed to discover if color could improve learning from television. (Author/HB)

The question of how children perceive TV and film violence incidents in justified and unjustified contexts in comparison with already known adult perceptions is the basis for this study. (Author)

Purpose of this study was to determine whether a specific cell, Memory of Figural Units--Visual Mode (MFU-V), of the Structure of Intellect (SOI) can be significantly affected by training kindergarten and first-grade children, and whether improvement in MFU-V has a significant effect on reading achievement of first grade children.

Group and single viewers were studied; results showed that group viewers exhibited a large number and variety of verbal and nonverbal, targeted and (probably) nontargeted modeling behaviors; single viewers much fewer.'' (Author)

Describes a computer graphics laboratory and its use in the teaching of physics concepts. Specific lecture demonstration in relativity and quantum physic are discussed. (LC)

Teacher needs to analyze the components of his style, discover excessive activity, experiment with motions and perfect his skill if he is to use body language as an effective communication medium. (RB)

Evaluation to determine if identical illustrations used in learning and testing situations are equally effective for boys and girls of the same grade level. Subjects were members of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12. (AJ)
