The objective of this study is to ascertain the impact of the Gametics Game Program on the visual perception and attention levels of third-grade primary school students. The participants in this study were third-grade students enrolled in primary school in Kocaeli. This study employed a pretest-posttest control group experimental design. The…

For students to advance beyond arithmetic, they must learn how to attend to the structure of math notation. This process can be challenging due to students' left-to-right computing tendencies. Brackets are used in mathematics to indicate precedence but can also be used as superfluous cues and perceptual grouping mechanisms in instructional…

The aim of the research is to investigate the effects of mind games and games containing physical activity on the attention and visual perception levels of the primary school students. In this research, experimental design with pretest-posttest control group was used. The population of the study consists of seven-year-old children, and the sample…

This study investigates children's metarepresentational competence (MRC) with regard to listening to and making sense of simple sonic stimuli. Using diSessa's (2002) seminal work on MRC in mathematics and sciences as background, it aims to assess the relative importance children attribute to several criteria for representational adequacy…

In this experiment, 446 children, ranging in age from 5-10 years, were required to draw one object behind another in a situation in which adults invariably produce the further object partially occluded to the nearer. (MS)

Perceptual counterparts of a series of conservation of length tests were presented to subjects who were categorized as conservers or nonconservers conservation of length pre-tests, and to conservers and nonconservers given conservation length training. Perceptual performance of the untrained nonconservers was significantly worse than that of the…

One hundred and sixty subjects ages 7, 9, 11 and 21 years judged the standard Brentano form and a dot form of the illusion of 5 trials at 30 second intervals. (LLK)

Subjects aged 8, 10, 12, and 18 years participated in two visual search tasks. (Author/SB)

Two studies explored the hypothesis that young children perceive integrally some stimuli that older children perceive separably. In both experiments, kindergarten, second- and fifth-grade children were required to classify sets of stimuli that varied in size and brightness. (SB)

Paper is based on a Master's Thesis submitted by the senior author to the Department of Psychology, Brandeis University, 1967. (IR)

Employed regression analysis to determine the association between multiplicative classification and inductive reasoning. Subjects were 103 fourth grade children. (SDH)

Examines the relationship between the magnitude of the stimulus familiarity effect and the level of stimulus incongruity. Results support a theory of visual selection based on information-conflict resolution. (Author/ED)

This study investigated the process of perceptual exploration and organization of children as a function of age and sex in two experiments. In Experiment I, 3- to 5-year-old children named the pictures of nine familiar objects arranged in 3 x 3 matrices (exploration tasks) and indicated preference for objects represented in pairs (pair-completion…
