Two distinct dimensions, one relating to motion and the other to the vector nature of some of the concepts, appeared in three separate groups, when either four or five…

Conflicting findings in two earlier studies in the area of learning style effects are studied. (DG)

Six measures of children's verbal skills were found to have internal consistency, and interjudge and test-retest reliability. (MH)
