SEVERAL CONCLUSIONS FROM RESEARCH ON VISUALS ARE DISCUSSED. THE PARTICULAR STUDIES ON WHICH THESE CONCLUSIONS ARE BASED ARE TWO MULTIVARIATE EXPERIMENTS WHICH USED PROGRAMED SCIENCE DEMONSTRATIONS PRESENTED OVER TELEVISION AND PROGRAMED VERBAL MATERIALS ON THE SAME SCIENCE PRINCIPLES BUT PRESENTED IN SELF-PACED BOOKLETS. THE LEVEL OF THE…

TEN PAIRS OF BLIND CHILDREN AGED SIX TO 13 YEARS WHO HAD SOME VISION WERE MATCHED BY PRETEST SCORES ON A TEST OF VISUAL DISCRIMINATION. A CRITERION GROUP, DESIGNATED THE PRINT COMPARISON GROUP, HAD SLIGHLY HIGHER RECORDED DISTANCE ACUITIES AND USED VISION AS THE PRIMARY MEANS OF LEARNING. PAIRS OF EXPERIMENTAL SUBJECTS DAILY RECEIVED 45 MINUTES OF…

THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE EXISTENCE OF DIFFERENT SENSORY-IMAGE TYPES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING. A GENERAL QUESTIONNAIRE WAS DEVELOPED WHICH INCLUDED QUESTIONS ON VISUAL AND AUDITORY IMAGERY. THIS WAS ADMINISTERED TO 50 COLLEGE FRESHMEN AND NEWLY ARRIVED AIRMEN AT THE AIR FORCE LANGUAGE SCHOOL LOCATED AT INDIANA…
