Bradshaw, J. L.; McKenzie, B. E. – Child Development, 1971
Outline faces were presented for rating along six dichotomous attributes with features varying systematically. Differences were found to be largely attentional, with certain features invariably being differentially employed and associated with certain attributes across all samples. (WY)

Brittain, W. Lambert; Chien, Yu-Chin – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1983
No significant relationship was demonstrated by 41 preschool children who were asked to identify some represented body parts which were displayed in a scattered array on a page and the ability to draw or assemble a person. (PN)

McClelland, James L.; Rumelhart, David E. – Psychological Review, 1981
A model of context effects in perception is applied to perception of letters. Perception results from excitatory and inhibitory interactions of detectors for visual features, letters, and words. The model produces facilitation for letters in pronounceable pseudowords as well as words and accounts for rule-governed performance without any rules.…

Simon, Herbert A. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1981
Reviews recent progress in modeling human cognition, in particular the use of computers in generating models. Topics covered include the information processing approach to cognition, problem solving, semantic memory, pattern induction, and learning and cognitive development. A 164-item reference list is attached. (JL)

Bengston, John K.; Cohen, Stuart J. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1979
The assumptions underlying the classfication rule-learning description of concept acquisition are critically examined. An alternative characterization of what it means to have a primacy hypothesis and Gibson's position that knowledge of the world is a product of direct perception are discusssed. (Author/RD)

Kak, Anita V. – Reading World, 1980
Describes a study of 16 kindergarten children--eight good prereaders and eight poor prereaders--designed to determine if there were relations between reading skill and the processing of distinctive features of patterns. Concludes that both pattern classification and feature processing appear to be involved in early reading skills. (TJ)

Cowan, Richard A. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1977
Having students find and cut out of graph paper the 12 pentominoes can provide an enjoyable exercise in perception, discovery, and double checking. The pentominoes can then be used to illustrate informally several geometric concepts. (SD)

Levy, Jerre; Trevarthen, Colwyn – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1976
Four commissurotomy patients were tested for ability to match tachistoscopically presented stimuli with pictures in free vision, according to either structural appearance or functional/conceptual category. (Editor)

Friedlander, Alex; Hershkowitz, Rina – Mathematics Teacher, 1997
Presents several examples of investigations which demonstrate the following: (1) algebra is connected to other mathematical topics; (2) algebra is an effective tool for representing patterns and relationships; and (3) algebra is an effective tool for analyzing patterns. (DDR)

Twitchell, David, Ed. – Educational Technology, 1990
This sixth in a series of edited transcripts based on a conference at Utah State University discusses ideas from cognitive psychology that have implications for instructional design. Highlights include information processing phases; pattern recognition; short-term and long-term memory; purposes of instruction; cognitive structures; and cognitive…

Bright, George W. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1989
Developing numerical relationships with calculators is emphasized. Calculators furnish some needed support for students as they investigate the value of fractions as the numerators or denominators change. An example with Logo programing for computers is also included. (MNS)

Rock, Irvin; And Others – Cognitive Psychology, 1989
Several experiments were undertaken with a total of 111 undergraduates. Subjects attempted to imagine how three-dimensional novel wire objects would appear from viewpoints other than that of the subject. Subjects were unable to perform this task without making use of strategies that circumvent the process of visualization. (TJH)
