Makes the observation that the attempt of the child to make sense of the world is not necessarily guided by traditional literary structures but by expressive tactics influenced, in large part, by what the child is thinking and struggling with at the moment. (HOD)

Perceptual counterparts of a series of conservation of length tests were presented to subjects who were categorized as conservers or nonconservers conservation of length pre-tests, and to conservers and nonconservers given conservation length training. Perceptual performance of the untrained nonconservers was significantly worse than that of the…

Infants at two age levels were shown six patterns which represented three levels of stimulus complexity and two types of organization, facial and nonfacial. Results agree with previous studies in suggesting a change between ages 10 and 15 weeks in dimensions which underlie infants' response to facelike patterns. (Author/HS)

The development of space awareness should facilitate effective playing and coaching through increased ability to observe spatial arrangements as they apply to game strategy. (JD)

Suggests a connection between the perceptual world taken as a system of signs and the system of signs we normally think of as visible language and defends this thesis. (TO)

Reports a study comparing two auditory-visual integration tests, one basically that developed by Birch and the other using Morse-type stimuli. Suggests reasons why the Morse form of test was more highly correlated with reading ability than the Birch test. (TO)

Results of this study suggest that 3-year-olds have a good deal of sensitivity to static depth information. (Authors)

Portions of this paper were read as part of a symposium on The Meaning of Smiling and Vocalizing in Infancy'' at the 1970 meeting of the American Psychological Association, Miami Beach, Florida, September, 1970. (Editor)

Results clearly demonstrated the existence of perceptual sets in children under 4 years. The interpretation of findings suggests a process whereby the present method was successful in creating the mediating conditions necessary for a perceptual set. (Authors)

On the basis of a conservation of substance experiment with 189 blind and partially sighted children, it is inferred that while the best of them are performing on a par with the best of their sighted peers, the age range in which conservation is attained is more extended for the visually handicapped.

Although Ss underestimated the size of the illusion in the predicted direction, no significant correlations between size of illusion and either age or IQ were found. (Authors)

An argument centered on perceptual-motor training as an educational fad and a criticism of training approaches. Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Orthopsychiatric Association (New York, New York, 1969). (RJ)

Hypothesis was confirmed that more familiar and more ambiguous concepts would be less readily named in their less detailed representations. (Author/MB)

Procedures and conclusions drawn from their investigation to determine the effectiveness of using both the visual and auditory sensory modes, as opposed to using only the auditory mode, when the procedure of having children check their own tests is utilized as part of spelling instruction.
