Assesses subjects' information output after presentation of pictorial, word, and sentence stimuli. Output is measured in two modes of response: reconstruction and verbal description. Complexity of the stimuli is demonstrated to have important effects on perceptual information processing. (DP)

Examines the effect of different training methods on perceptual learning of impulsive children. A matching to sample method (M), and a differentiation method (D) were used. Data indicated that Ss receiving D training learned to process features distinguishing stimuli; whereas, Ss receiving M training showed no preference for a particular mode of…

The present paper is concerned particularly with the processes underlying the perception of the upright, that is, an object in its usual, or familiar, position in space. (Author/RK)

This paper uses the eskimo as an illustration to argue that research based on a multi-ability model of intelligence such as the structure of intellect (Guilford, 1967) could identify cognitive strengths of culturally different groups and suggest occupational and educational areas where strengths could be used to advantage.

Author attempts to outline a course in world musics for students to develop their musical experiences and realize more fully the inherent musical qualities of different languages. (RK)

This article attempts to outline five major areas of components, selected by virtue of the attention paid them in recent writings, which could provide the content for various combinations of art activities. (Author)

Outlines a course in photography for use in secondary school art classes to develop perceptual awareness and extend range of vision. (DS)

Study deals with a comparative developmental analysis of performances on the same task by four age groups. (MB)

Subjects were Zambian elementary school children, ages 7-17, providing evidence of weight conservation behavior and those who did not; principal dependent variable was performance on locally-developed psychometric measures of reasoning ability. Very little connection was found between the conservation-status of the subjects and their performance…

Study found that auditory experience has an indirect influence on rhythm perception, but auditory involvement during the task does not. (Authors/MB)

Describes a program created by kindergarten teachers for their pupils who are motivated to learn by participating in physically active games in combination with their daily lessons. (RK)

Research is reviewed to determine the value of the Frostig Developmental Test of Visual Perception as a predictor of reading performance and whether the Frostig Visual Perception Training Program improves reading performance. (KW)

Results indicated that information about the effect of brain damage may not support conclusions about children for whom the referral problem was socio-educational-psychological rather than neurological in nature. (Author/MB)
