Abravanel, Eugene – 1971
This document reports on a study of how the eye and the hand become functionally coordinated during growth. A specific question researched is "How do children use their hands as perceptual tools for exploring objects in order to acquire information about them?" It was assumed that a pre-school child would have evolved a form of eye-hand…

Vescolani, Mildred, Comp.; And Others
This curriculum was compiled to serve as a guide, review, or supplement to the programmed materials currently in use in the Adult Basic Education Program sponsored by the University of Arkansas. The criterion for the materials selected was their ease of adaptability to a job-oriented educational approach. The document is divided into the following…

Keogh, Barbara K. – 1970
This study was designed to consider effects of age, sex, intelligence, lateral usage, and lateral awareness on young children's performance of spatial organization tasks. The sample consisted of 79 Caucasian, middle socioeconomic status nursery school children (mean C.A. 57.80, S.D. 4.47 months), 44 boys and 35 girls. Spatial organization was…

Miyakawa, Hiroko; Restaino, Lillian C. R. – 1976
Two experiments evaluated the effects of mnemonic training upon 5- and 10-year-old children's learning and retention of patterns at varying intervals. Subjects were 172 middle class children evenly distributed across the two age groups. Experiment I investigated the effects of individual strategies (perceptual exploration, organization of…

Holbrook, M. C.; Koenig, A. J. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1992
This article discusses ways to teach low vision students to read braille, including both parallel instruction (the student learns to read print and braille simultaneously) and nonparallel instruction (the print-reading student learns braille). The following approaches are briefly described: basal reader, language experience, whole language,…

Ford, Marilyn Sue; Crew, Caroline Gibson – Arithmetic Teacher, 1991
Presented are simple activities that can be completed by students at home with the help of a parent. Activities include the topics of sorting, patterning, counting and numbers, geometry, adding, subtracting, and measuring. Each activity describes a series of sequenced tasks related to one of the topics. (KR)

Bausmith, Jennifer Merriman; Leinhardt, Gaea – Journal of Geography, 1998
Examines the map-making process of middle-school students to determine which actions influence their accuracy, how prior knowledge helps their map construction, and what lessons can be learned from map making. Indicates that instruction that focuses on recognition of interconnections between map elements can promote map reasoning skills. (DSK)
