Yarmey, A. Daniel; Johnson, Julia – Journal of Research in Personality, 1982
Investigated a set of photographs taken of each subject and self-rated for extent to which each resembled their imagined prototype of "real-self." The findings support the hypothesis of the availability of a memory image schema--the self functions as a cognitive prototype with imaginal and verbal characteristics. (Author/RC)

And Others; Baird, John C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 1979
This experiment tested the ability of people to recall the locations of buildings in a familiar campus setting. Ten graduate students represented the relative locations of buildings by pairwise distance judgments and by direct mapping of locations on a Tektronix cathode ray terminal. Both methods led to accurate judgments. (Author/CTM)

Baird, John C.; Merrill, Amanda A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 1979
This experiment investigated preferences for the location of facilities in an ideal town. Ten graduate students represented the relative locations of facilities (home, school, factory) by two methods: (1) pairwise ideal distances on a 100-point scale and (2) direct planning of locations on a Tektronix cathode ray screen.

Youngblood, Michael S. – Studies in Art Education, 1979
This study sought to determine whether there exist performance distinctions between artists and nonartists on specific two- and three-dimensional nonverbal problems. The factorial structure of scores on ten nonverbal ability tests was analyzed to identify mental process differences between the two groups. (Author/SJL)

Dunham, Trudy C.; Levin, Joel R. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1979
Kindergarten and first-grade children listened to a narrative passage under one of five experimental conditions. Prelearning imagery instructions did not facilitate subsequent recall of story information. Similarly intermittently provided pictures did not produce recall gains for unpictured story information, but had a positive effect on recall of…

Lansing, Kenneth M. – Studies in Art Education, 1981
From this study of kindergarten children, the author concludes that drawing should be recognized as an important educational activity that helps children to learn and remember the visual characteristics of the figures they draw, and that it does so more effectively than does mere observation or tracing of those figures. (Author/SJL)

Battista, Michael – Journal of Educational Research, 1981
The nature of the aptitude-treatment interaction between spatial visualization ability and instructional treatment in mathematics was investigated. No significant positive correlation was observed between the aptitude measures (spatial visualization test) and the outcome measures (algebra structures exam). (CJ)

Pierce, Jean W. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1980
The relation between imagery-assisted prose recall and field independence was found to be significantly stronger than the relation between control recall and field independence for third graders, but not for kindergartners. (Author)

Cramer, Eugene H. – Reading Improvement, 1980
Details an investigation into the relationships between reading attitude, reading comprehension, and mental imagery. Concludes that there are significant correlations between reading attitude and mental imagery and between reading comprehension and reading attitude, but that there is no significant relationship between reading comprehension and…

Ehri, Linnea C.; Wilce, Lee S. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1979
Mnemonic value of spellings in a paired-associate sound learning task was examined in first and second graders. Learning was fastest when correct spellings were seen or imagined. The preferred interpretation was that spellings are effective because they provide readers with orthographic images for symbolizing and storing sounds in memory.…

Callison, Daniel – School Library Media Activities Monthly, 1997
"Mental modeling" refers to a student's ability to visualize or comprehend the information research process. This article reviews 50 years of changing conceptions of how we learn: behaviorist, cognitivist, and constructivist perspective; describes the application of three "mental models" to interactive technology; and discusses…

Thomas, David A.; And Others – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1996
Demonstrates the use of scientific visualization, a computer graphics technology developed to extend the use of our visual system to contexts and problem-solving situations where sight itself is not directly possible or in which normal vision fails to provide adequate opportunity for analysis.

Kordaki, Maria – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2003
Focuses on the role of tools, provided by a computer microworld (C.AR.ME), on the strategies developed by 14-year-old students regarding the concept of conservation of area of a non-convex polygon. Indicates that the nature of the tools used affected the nature of solution strategies that students constructed. (Author/KHR)

Darch, Craig; Simpson, Robert G. – Research in Rural Education, 1990
Among 28 upper elementary learning-disabled students in a summer remedial program, those that were taught spelling with explicit rule-based strategies out-performed students presented with a visual imagery mnemonic on unit tests, a posttest, and a standardized spelling test. Contains 20 references. (SV)
