Presents students' drawings that resulted from a discussion of literary works and their illustrations. (RL)

This study investigated infants' differential responding to novel and familiar stimuli after familiarization in a different sensory modality. Results showed that infants gain information about the shape of objects from their oral experience with them and that this information can be transferred to the visual modality. (Author/JMB)

Development of the relation between skills of visual and auditory pattern classification was studied at the second grade, sixth grade, and adult age levels using visual and auditory representations of the same abstract information. Results showed evidence of common processing of pattern class structure for the modalities, patterns, prototypes, and…

Analysis of the performance of second-, fourth-, sixth-grade, and college-level subjects on picture-word interference tasks indicated that distractor words belonging to the same semantic category as pictures produced more interference than either unrelated words or nonsense trigrams. (Author/JMB)

Sixty-eight learning disabled and reading disabled junior high school students took part in one of two experiments, both using spatially organized and randomized illustrations in an effort to measure effects of the type of illustration on recall of verbally presented prose passages. Results are discussed in terms of instructional variables for…

Seventy-two 11-year-old students were tested on 32 dictated words containing two levels of both visual and phonemic complexity. Students were grouped within sexes on their extraversion scores on the Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory and quotients on the Raven's Matrices. Spelling performance was found to interact significantly with level of…

It has been shown that previously presented material, if auditory, is remembered better than visual. The present study investigated the role of modalities in a foreign language context, hypothesizing that visual modality is superior to that of an auditory one with regard to a text-based recognition test. Thirty-six intermediate male EFL students…

More than 10 years ago, when "Mapping Inner Space" was first published, a few teachers were using this creative technique and teaching it to their students. Today mapping is widely used in schools, universities, and the corporate world, as well. This second edition of the book explores a variety of mapping styles and also takes a fresh look at the…

Study examined the effects of the variables of list length and pronunciation instructions on performance in the verbal discrimination and two category classification tasks and found that the effects of these variables on the two tasks were quite comparable. (Author)

As an important part of the plan to record and systematically deal with all observable behavioral events that constitute an infant's waking life, all social encounters between the baby and other persons that occurred during weekly observations of two infants in their everyday milieu were recorded.

The effects of reinforcement contingencies on task performance of bisensory missing words were studied with two students (about nine years old): one learning disabled (LD) male with an auditory preference and one LD female with a visual preference. Reinforcement contingencies were found to control both students' performances. (Author/SEW)

Surveys the literature on learning style in an effort to help educators become more familiar with the concept. (FL)
