Dilworth, Collett Broyles – 1974
This study is designed to investigate the relationship between the extent of visualization of poetically elicited mental images (V) and five other variables involved in response to poetry: extent of verbal interpretation of the meaning of poetry; extent of recall of poetry; accuracy of recall of poetry; extent of liking of poetry; and level of…

Levin, Joel R.; Pressley, Michael – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1978
Kindergarten children were administered a paired-associate learning task at the beginning and end of the school-year, under either regular (control) or self-generated visual imagery instructions. Age predicted performance in the imagery but not in the control condition. Results supported the developmental imagery hypothesis. (Author/RD)

Guttmann, Joseph; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1977
Investigations of the effects of visual imagery and pictorial stimuli on young children's oral prose learning indicated: (1) age differences affect the ability to profit from self-generated imagery; (2) experimenter-provided cues help to generate imagery; and (3) the type of cue provided relates to the kind of information recalled.

Wicker, Frank W.; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1978
Two types of instruction were emphasized in the solution of insight problems. One study directed subjects to reformulate their initial view of the problem to avoid unnecessary assumptions about it; another required visualization of problem components. Results indicated that reformulation instructions contributed to performance, but visualization…

Jesse, Daniel M.; Gregory, W. Larry – Educational Research Quarterly, 1987
First semester college students (n=92), during their second week of classes, participated in a two (received grade point average information vs. no information) by two (imagined academic achievement scenarios vs. no scenarios) by two (received reattribution information vs. no information) intervention program designed to enhance their academic…

Moore, Randall S.; Staum, Myra – Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education, 1987
Explores the effect of continuous training on tonal and auditory memory. Does so by comparing the auditory short-term memory skills of English and American children, ages five, six, and seven. (RKM)

Nissen, Phillip – Mathematics in School, 1988
This article outlines a series of investigations in graph theory which simultaneously gives exercises in visualization. It is argued that one of the advantages of classroom investigations is that students can be lead to an intuitive grasp of advanced mathematics. (PK)

Fay, Anne Louise; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1987
This article examines naive conceptions of spatial reference that children bring to Logo programing language learning. Students from Grades 4, 5, 6, and 8 were introduced to six Logo commands, and then were tested on predicting the output for instances of each of the commands. (Author/LMO)

Konopak, Bonnie C.; Williams, Nancy L. – Reading Teacher, 1988
Noting the use of mental pictures to aid students' learning--the keyword method--is effective for both good and poor readers, describes specific methods, provides research to support their use, and presents classroom applications that lead from teacher instruction to students' independent learning.

Seddon, G. M.; Shubber, K. E. – Research in Science and Technological Education, 1985
Evaluated effectiveness of six instructional programs (each dealing with a different aspect of a spatial task related to diagrams of three-dimensional structures) with Bahraini students (ages 13- to 17-years-old). All brought about a significant degree of learning over all age groups. Implications of these and other findings are discussed.…

Smith, P. Hull – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1984
Studies the ability of 5-month-old infants to recall temporal information and use temporal organization by training them to fixate a hierarchically structured or unstructured sequence of stimuli which appeared in four spatial positions. Results are interpreted within a temporal organizational framework; infants appear to use organization within…

Hall, Donald M., Hughes, Jan N. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1984
A paired-associate memory task with pictures and words as items was used to categorize fourth graders into four learner types (high/low picture x high/low word performance). Poor paired-associate learners profited more than did good paired-associate learners from picture aids on the prose task. (Author/BW)

Just, Marcel Adam; Carpenter, Patricia A. – Psychological Review, 1985
Strategic differences in spatial tasks are explained in terms of different cognitive coordinate systems that subjects adopt such as standard versus arbitrary, task-defined axes. A theoretical account of mental rotation of individuals of low and high spatial ability solving problems from psychometric tests is instantiated as computer simulation…
