Investigated with 92 learning disabled elementary grade students were disorders of the vestibular system (response to gravity and changes in rate of movement). (Author/DB)

Describes three experiments which investigated the mechanism underlying memory for movement-extent cues in preselection. Experiment 1 showed that memory for movement extent was better for subjects who were allowed to preselect their own standard. Experiments 2 and 3 examined the role of active movement in preselected and nonpreselected movements.…

A free association technique was used to investigate the semantic structure of three forms of encoding: verbal, visual imagery, and kinesthetic imagery. Discusses the relevance of these findings to creativity and the concept of semantic memory. (Editor/RK)

Examines 3-month-old infants' perception of "camouflaged" forms that were only visible when moving. Shows infants effectively use kinetic information to organize visual input in higher-order structures. (HOD)

The article reviews the role of the vestibular system, tactile system, kinesthetic system, visual system, balance, locomotion, body awareness, spatial system, mildline crossing, bilateral integration, form perception, and eye-food coordination in promoting an integrated motor base on which later learning is built.

This paper (1) details characteristics of human communications systems, (2) assesses the fundamental concerns of environmental education, (3) examines how different cultures evolve different perceptions and attitudes towards the environment, and (4) examines the role the written word will play on shaping Man's response to the environment in the…

A laboratory for undergraduate physical education students was designed to apply academic theory to practical questions concerning the selection, quality, and performance of sport equipment. Various tests were conducted in an attempt to evaluate the performance of leather v synthetic basketballs. (JN)

Only 11 of 22 mildly retarded young adults successfully passed a criterion pretest involving discriminating pairs of upright same-different cones. The 11 Ss performed poorly on a second task involving a more complex transformation. Ss who failed the criterion task produced primarily egocentric responses. (Author)

A teacher reports on helpful advice she received from a colleague when she started teaching: to teach students in the cognitive mode in which they learn best (auditory, visual, kinesthetic, or tactile). (TE)

Four groups of 12 young adult deaf subjects evaluated 2 aspects of lipreading training: source of video feedback (self or trainer) and timing of feedback (during or after speech production). Results substantiate the beneficial effects of multisensory feedback by practicing lipreading of one's own speech production. (Author/JDD)

Kinesthetic apparatus make physics learning experiences stimulating, memorable, and influential in helping students relate natural phenomena to the laws of physics. Describes a number of experiments and demonstrations that are possible with kinesthetic apparatus, which help eradicate some traditional student misconceptions and provide students…
