Data confirmed the difficulties which some African populations encounter when dealing with this type of task. (Author/MB)

Results were interpreted in terms of current conceptions of age differences in information-processing speed. (Author)

Goal of this study was to obtain information pertaining to what is acquired when children gain the ability to reproduce a diagonal pattern. (Authors/CB)

The results provide evidence of remarkable consistency in both accuracy and manner of performance from first grade through college age levels. (Authors)

Children from 4 to 7 years of age were tested in a structured perceptual task in which haptic manipulation was available, but not required. The extent of haptic involvement with the stimulus material and its effect on performance in a perceptual recognition task was then determined. (Author/CB)

The similarity match took longer than the identity match, and the difference in latency increased as the number of lines in the pattern increased. (Author)

This paper analyzes geographic patterns of population concentration and deconcentration among the foreign-born population during the 1990-2000 period. A goal is to examine whether the foreign-born population, including recent arrivals, are dispersing geographically from metro gateway cities into rural and other less densely populated parts of the…

Reviews pattern recognition techniques of multivariate statistical analysis as a means of data reduction. (SL)

Study was carried out to examine the feasibility of identifying by a short test whether or not any particular profoundly deaf school child uses a speech code in short-term memory for verbal material. (Author)

Results of these five experiments span serial pattern learning, perception of sequential patterns, and coordinated motor skill. (Authors/CB)

Study found that auditory experience has an indirect influence on rhythm perception, but auditory involvement during the task does not. (Authors/MB)

Presents an activity that introduces the historical developments in science that led to the discovery of the periodic table and lets students experience scientific discovery firsthand. Enables students to learn about patterns among the elements and experience how scientists analyze data to discover patterns and build models. (JRH)

The results fail to support the hypothesis that intersensory integration is the sole or even the primary developmental skill accounting for matching task improvement with increasing age. The hypothesis that retarded readers fail to develop skills in intersensory integration is also not supported. (Authors)

Describes activities focusing on reading, recording, and analyzing schedules. Provides objectives, directions, worksheets, extensions, and answers to each of the activities. (YP)

This article describes an innovative lesson that uses the biography "Barbara McClintock: Alone in her Field" (Heiligman, 1994) to integrate genetics, literature, and mathematics as a context for students to investigate patterns on Indian corn. This two-day lesson requires students to estimate, collect data, identify and describe patterns,…
