Hoogeveen, Frans R.; And Others – Education and Training in Mental Retardation, 1987
Using seven trainable mentally-retarded students, aged 10-19, the study assessed the efficacy of an action mnemonic procedure for teaching letter-sound correspondences. The subjects were successfully trained to emit appropriate action-sounds in the presence of pictures incorporating the target letter, with picture-prompts being gradually faded to…

Four severely/profoundly hearing-impaired preschool children (ages 4-5) were given six vocabulary tasks (receptive, associative, and expressive) involving auditory and visual sensory modalities. Data confirmed that lipreading (visual modality) could be substituted for speech. However, for novice lipreaders, words with auditory-visual confusions…

Silverman, Irwin W.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1984
Varied conditions under which children aged four to five years matched the area of a rectangle with a given width or height to that of a square. Subjects matched one dimension of the rectangle to one side of the square suggesting that area matches seemed to be based on a side-matching strategy. (Author/AS)

Dwyer, Carol A. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1986
This study investigates the relative effectiveness with which varied rehearsal strategies facilitate student achievement when instruction is received via visualized prose instruction. Results indicate that different rehearsal strategies, used to complement visualized instruction, are not equally effective in improving student achievement of…

Kunen, Seth; Duncan, Edward M. – Journal of Educational Research, 1983
The value of verbal labeling is shown by a study of fourth-grade, eighth-grade, and college students who were shown pictures accompanied by short verbal descriptions. Verbal descriptions increased correct recognitions and rejections of unrelated distractors, while increasing false recognition of related distractors. Results were consistent for all…

Weiss, Maureen R. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 1983
The relationship of age and developmental differences to modeling and motor skill development were examined. Comparisons of the observational learning patterns of four- and five-year-old children and of seven- and eight-year-olds suggest that their physical and cognitive capacities call for different instructional strategies.

Holt, David K. – Art Education, 1983
Discusses the relationship between aesthetic value and the improvement of perception of visual artwork.
