Stored representations of experiences of forces in actions on objects enter into perceptual interpretations and mental simulations of object motions and interactions. In reply to the comment of Hubbard (2012), I clarify some ambiguities in my account (White, 2012) and correct some poor choices of expression. In addition, I address substantive…

Eight tactile-kinesthetic indices and 27 cognitive-ability and mental-speed measures were administered to 195 college students and community members. Results suggest that tactile-kinesthetic abilities share much with broad visualization and fluid intelligence, little with crystallized intelligence, and differential relationships with speed related…

Twenty-four adults with mild mental retardation were compared with equal-mental age children and adults without mental retardation on tactile processing asymmetries. Results suggest that hemispheric processing is dependent on information processing requirements rather than type of stimulus. (Author/JDD)

The generation of dynamic mental imagery is known to facilitate paired associate (PA) learning in older subjects. Wolff and Levin (in press) have reported that children who were apparently too young to generate mental imagery of this kind did benefit from self-generated motoric interactions involving pairs of toys. Since the result was obtained…

A study was made to determine whether different methods of visual presentations would affect the retention rate of individuals with two distinct types of perception--visual and haptic. The visual type, according to a study by Viktor Lowenfeld in 1957, is marked by the following characteristics: (1) ability to see wholes, break them into visual…

A LITERATURE REVIEW OF SIX KEY CONCEPTS OF PSYCHOLINGUISTIC PROCESSES IS PRESENTED. THE SIX CONCEPTS ARE (1) COGNITIVE GROWTH, (2) PSYCHOLINGUISTIC MODELS SUCH AS THE ILLINOIS TEST OF PSYCHOLINGUISTIC ABILITIES (ITPA), (3) INTERSENSORY INTEGRATION, (4) REMEDIAL TEACHING TECHNIQUES, (5) VISUALIZATION IN INTEGRATIVE TASKS, AND (6) CONCEPTUAL SCHEMA.…
