The Children's Embedded Figures Test was individually administered to 116 Caucasian, middle class, second grade children. Results suggest that a child's early experience in a particular birth order position may not be related to the development of field dependence-independence in any unambiguous and simple fashion.

Paper presented at the Annual Conference of the American Occupational Therapy Association (48th, Portland, Oregon, October 20-26, 1968).

Examines discrimination of geometric shapes by three-month-old infants who were presented with geometric stimuli moving laterally at two different velocities. Finds that subjects discriminate between geometric forms at velocities that, according to previous findings, might interfere with shape discrimination. Discusses the possible interactive…

A teaching-learning procedure in early instruction in mathematics is anchored in Piagetian and Russian psychology and traces internalization processes that occur between material and mental actions, namely perceptual actions of visualization and imagination, verbal action, symbolization, and generalization. (Author/CL)

Normal and language-disordered first and third graders (matched for sex and cognitive level) were asked to decide whether two geometric arrays were similarly ordered. Language-disordered children did not differ from normal children in accuracy of judgment or require more training trials, but they did respond more slowly. (Author/CL)

Split-brain research provides a rationale for the study of media in schools, since media studies provide a vehicle for the development of the right hemisphere of the brain. (Author/ER)

This article specifies some basic considerations regarding information processing and perception and suggests two related considerations when attempting to provide for learning. (Author)

Children 5 to 11 were given Piagetian spatial perspective tasks in a study of the development of egocentrism. Results indicated a more complex development of egocentrism than earlier Piagetian studies have suggested. (ST)

The value of self-perception and awareness of others is recognized. (MM)

Infants were able to discriminate between bah" and gah" syllables, indicating that linguistic-perceptual capacities are present during early life. (WY)

There were significant differences among the groups (articulation disordered five-year-olds) classified as syllable reducers or substituters and normal children on several imitative expressive language measures, with the syllable reducers making both deletion and substitution errors and the substituters making substitution errors for functors.…
