This article discusses only the perceptual modality, or sensory-intake styles of learning, and the implications for adult education. In addition, several techniques that the practitioner can utilize to assist in helping adult learners identify their learning style(s) are presented. (CT)

The reaching behavior of 12 infants in the presence of solid objects and pictures of objects placed within and beyond possible contact distance was videotaped in three sessions at 15, 19, and 24 weeks of age. (Author/MS)

"From the findings of this study it can be inferred that experiences in the art class can have an important role to perform in developing the visual sophistication of disadvantaged learners... the art teacher is the key to effect behavior changes in disadvantaged learners and not in art, per se.

Test variables which discriminated among the native English speaking children and the children who spoke Spanish or Navajo natively were those tasks which involved knowledge of the linguistic rules of English. School learning problems were the result of limited linguistic competence in English. (Author)

The conservation task is analyzed into three essential components, a theoretical framework for interpreting cross-cultural studies is presented, and its applicability to existing empirical results is demonstrated. (JM)

The quality of the Bender-Gestalt performance of normal class-six children in four Sierra Leone subcultures with varying degrees of modernization showed the quality of the reproductions of the most modern subcultures to be significantly higher. The interaction of gender and the parallel to adult divisions of labor are discussed. (Author/CM)

Adults' ability to track a moving target was examined in two experiments in order to compare their performance with that of very young infants. Results indicated that (1) adults'"overshoot" errors resembled those reported for young infants; and (2) adults had problems tracking a moving target which unexpectedly changed direction. (Author/DB)

Compared differences in the Bender-Gestalt mean error scores of 1,938 Black, Hispanic, and White children. Performed a two-way between groups' unweighted means ANOVA on the error scores for the seven age groups and for the three ethnic groups. Significant differences were found for both main effects.

A developmental sequence of stages in the representation of regular space figures, first obtained in Jamaica, was cross-validated on a U.S. sample. Discussion centers on the relation between representational ability and perceptual development and on the variation in the difficulty of drawing different figures. (Author/MK)

An examination of 18 children's reality-fantasy judgments about television indicated that such judgments shift with age from a focus on physical features and a rigid assessment of actuality, to a sensitivity to the plausibility of characters and plotlines, and an appreciation of authorial intent. Sixteen references are cited. (Author/MER)

Piaget's theory of space perception is presented in the format of a hypothetico-deductive system. Eleven hypotheses regarding infants' space perception are defined, and Piaget's evidence for each is summarized. Presuppositions underlying the arguments are explicated. Critical notes are inserted and general conclusions are briefly discussed.…

This article describes the Northwest Connection services, consultation processes, and consultants; and the model for consultant training, the approach to the initial awareness training workshop, and the effect of this workshop on consultants' perceptions of their abilities in various consultation skills and knowledges.

Examined children's beliefs about the origins of gender differences and age-related changes in these beliefs. Findings suggested that young children may have an early bias to view gender categories as predictive of essential, underlying similarities between members but later come to acknowledge the role of other causal mechanisms in shaping how…
