Prist, Wayne F. – Catholic Library World, 1982
This essay focuses on the process of learning, discussing television viewing and written language in terms of discursive (words) and nondiscursive (art forms) symbolism. Libraries' use of these symbolic forms is also discussed. (EJS)

Ball, Karlene; Sekuler, Robert – Science, 1982
Training improves the ability of human observers to discriminate between two similar directions of motion. This gradual improvement is specific to the direction on which an observer is trained, enduring for several months. Improvement does not affect motion perception generally, nor does it depend on recognition of details of the movement. (Author)

Mazer, Suzanne R.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1983
Two experiments tested possible explanations for previous research demonstrating lower span of apprehension for learning disabled students. In experiment 1, the length of visual persistence was less for LD subjects, while in experiment 2, the rate of information pick-up was slower for LD subjects. (CL)

Rose, Michael C.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1983
Studies involving 30 learning-disabled elementary students support the contention that reading comprehension difficulties among learning-disabled children are partly due to inefficient memorization strategies, and demonstrate the efficacy of practical, cost-effective mnemonic training procedures which significantly increase reading comprehension…

Albertson, Kathleen – NALLD Journal, 1982
Discusses the use of a modified oscilloscope in teaching pronunciation, which enables students to see the differences in pronunciation patterns they might be unable to hear. (EKN)

Jani, Subhash N. – Academic Therapy, 1983
Resistance applied to activities of rocking, creeping, and walking as a means to increase visual attention of students who are easily distracted is described. The resistance activities are said to result in improvement of gross motor coordination, oculomotor control, memory processes, and untimately, greater efficiency in academic learning. (CL)

Carnine, Douglas W. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1981
Following pretraining on three figures, 44 nonhandicapped preschoolers were assigned to experimental groups to investigate methods of integrating a new, similar symbol into a set of familiar symbols to approximate the difficult disciminations encountered by young children in school. (Author)

Tinsley, James – Journal for Special Educators, 1980
Scores on the Picture Arrangement subtest of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised of 41 eight-year-olds referred for academic learning difficulties were analyzed. Results suggested that visual sequencing skills and language development skills are necessary prerequisites for reading and spelling. (CL)

Scheel, Virginia; Galbraith, Gary C. – American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 1980
Thirty-five institutionalized, mentally retarded individuals (17 to 47 years old) navigated an obstacle course while viewing through an optical prism that displaced the visual field (visual-motor rearrangement). The degree of adaptation to visual-motor rearrangement was assessed and compared with scores on a research version of the Adaptive…

Sonnier, Isodore L.; Kemp, Judy B. – Southern Journal of Educational Research, 1980
Based on the theory that the human left brain hemisphere processes verbal-sequential data and that the right hemisphere processes visual-spatial data, this article presents a teaching strategy for stimulating both hemispheres. It also describes the study that contributed to this strategy. (DS)

Bernstein, Gail Bruskoff – Education of the Visually Handicapped, 1979
Twelve integration techniques, such as tracing shapes on paper, are described and suggestions for five activities (including materials needed, activity directions, implications, positioning, cautions, and adaptations) are provided. (For related material, see EJ 216 140 and EJ 216 239.) (PHR)

Owens, R. David; Coldevin, Gary O. – Programmed Learning and Educational Technology, 1977
This study compares three multi-stage versions of a tape-slide presentation with a parallel single image format. Multi-image treatments differed in the amount of time two images were simultaneously in view. (Author)

Mayer, Richard E.; Massa, Laura J. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2003
Examines the hypothesis that some people are verbal learners and some people are visual learners. Presented a battery of 14 cognitive measures related to the visualizer-verbalizer dimension to 95 college students and then conducted correlational and factor analyses. Results have implications for how to conceptualize and measure individual…

Knowlton, Marie – Exceptional Children, 1997
Visual scanning behavior and efficiency of 22 children with visual disabilities and 25 children without disabilities (ages 3.5 to 10 years) were studied. Significant differences were found between groups in length of scan path and number of objects reported, but no significant differences in scanning efficiency. Coordinated binocular eye movements…

Shambaugh, R. Neal – Journal of Visual Literacy, 1995
From a cognitive point of view, students construct new knowledge frameworks by relating new information to prior knowledge. Visual constructions help students reestablish unity of knowledge from "bits" of information received in linear note taking. Discusses the benefits of note taking and review, and summarizes visual note-taking…
