Serial habituation of visual fixations was investigated through a design permitting cross-sectional, within-subject longitudinal, cohort longitudinal, and time-lag analyses. Results suggested that for all ages habituation was under way to the parts of the stimulus in order of the realitive saliencies. No one methodology appeared to significantly…

The Rorschach was given to 60 school children in two designs: chronological age (CA) and mental age (MA) orthogonal and CA=MA. Responses were scored for Form Accuracy, Complexity, Movement and Friedman's Developmental Level (DL) Scoring System. The results suggest that the DL system does assess MA independently of CA.

To assess the development of monocular slant perception as well as the relative effectiveness of different sources of information, 90 children in first, third, and fifth grades and 30 college adults were asked to make judgments of surface slant on the basis of monocular texture gradient information. (Author/JH)

Five developmental experiments examine the role of context in visual search. (Author/JH)

Twenty-four subjects at each of four grade levels (first, third, fifth, and college) made judgments of physical slant of surfaces with three levels of variability. Absolute error of judgment decreased with age, but texture variability had no effect at any grade level. (JH)

The size of the effective visual field during the first weeks of life is found to depend on two factors: It increases with age, but contracts in the face of competition from ongoing activity such as fixation of a central stimulus or nonnutritive sucking. (Author/SB)

This study investigated the hypothesis that as children become older they are increasingly likely to make efficient use of accessible retrieval cues. Results confirmed the hypothesis. (ST)

Author stresses the importance of art, music, and literature experiences in the perceptual development of a child. (GB)

Suggestions are offered for promoting student confidence when faced with the problem of reconciling his critical ability with his ability to be creative. (RK)

Based upon a paper presented at the American Psychological Association, Miami Beach, 1970. (Editor)

Aesthetic education aims at the creation of the child as a total being in which receptivity to the arts and engagement with them become equal with the demands of the intellect and their recognized disciplines. (Author)

The development of multiplicative classificatory skills in children between 4 and 9 years of age was investigated by means of two forms of the matrix-completion task. (Authors)

Perceptual training of learning disabled children is discussed from the viewpoints that identification of an ability of perception is misleading and that training of abilities on the basis of testing is questionable. (CB)
