Though increasing complexity increased the difficulty of discrimination of form, nursery school, kindergarten, and first grade children were all above chance in performance, older children being superior. The results are discussed in relation to developmental perceptual theory. Portions of this paper were presented at the American Psychological…

If man is to understand the transformation of the ingredients of his environment into the quality of his existence, a greater spatial awareness may be a crucial aspect. (Author)

Results support view that development of part-whole perception is mediated by logiclike perceptual regulations. (MH)

Learning disabled subjects functioned on both the cognitive and perceptual sections of a Time Understanding Inventory at a level three grades below their CA grade placement equivalent, suggesting that their lack of mastery of time concepts represented a generalized rather than specific disability.

Simple exercises designed to improve visual and auditory perception are presented as part of a remedial reading program. (EJS)

Thirty-six chronically hoarse children (mean age nine) with nodules were found to be similar to those without nodules on various perceptual measures. Twenty of thirty of these children showed improvements after a year of rehabilitation in the public schools; improvement varied according to the abilities of individual clinicians. (Author/CL)

Activities involving photographs stimulate visual perceptual awareness. Children understand visual stimuli before having verbal capacity to deal with the world. Vision becomes the primary means for learning, understanding, and adjusting to the environment. Photography can provide an effective avenue to visual literacy. (Author)

Results failed to replicate previous findings of a temporal processing deficit specific to the auditory modality in LI children. Further analyses resolved this apparent conflict between the present and earlier studies by demonstrating that age is an important variable underlying modality specificity of perceptual performance in LI children.…

Argues that the development of object perception in infancy involves the detection of structural invariants and that such detection is best understood in the context of dynamic events. (Author/MP)

The classifying behavior of five-year-old children and adults was examined in two studies of restricted classification using triads of stimuli composed of the dimensions of length and density. Results were consistent with the notion of separable perception for adults and integral perception for children. (Author/SS)

Discusses a study comparing children's perception of temporal acoustic cues to that of adults. Subjects were asked to identify voiced or voiced CVC words with uniformly voiceless final obstruents but in which vowel duration was systematically varied. Results show that subject age and vowel duration of test stimuli affect identification processes.…
