Efforts in recent years to combine technology with art have overturned previous attitudes toward man's conception of artistic imagery. (Editor/JR)

A discussion of visual field, foveal and peripheral vision, eye fixations, recognition and recall of pictures, memory for meaning of pictures, and the relation between speed of presentation and memory. (Editor)

In this study examining infants' responses to optical expansion, 18 infants between 36 and 61 days old watched expanding shadows that differed in the terminal location of the center of expansion and the number of dimensions undergoing change. Babies consistently rotated their heads upward during expansion of a closed figure when the center of…

Evidence presented by psychologists has indicated that perceptual development results in part from learned experience and may be modified to varying deqrees by social pressure. Since vision is a primary source of perceptual information for art education, this study sought to determine the effects of prophecy, or expectation, on perceptual response…

Definitions and specific breakdowns of four (auditory reception, visual sequential memory, verbal expression, and auditory closure) of the 12 language areas of the new Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA) are presented. Auditory reception is defined as the ability to understand the meaning of materials or stimuli that are heard and…

EFFECTS OF TONAL MEMORY OF TWO KINDS OF FACTORS WERE STUDIED. THE FACTORS WERE (1) THE CHARACTERISTICS OF STIMULI PRESENTED TO THE SUBJECT IN A PITCH IDENTIFICATION TASK, AND (2) THOSE EFFECTING THE RESPONSE THAT THE SUBJECT MAKES IN SUCH A TASK. FIVE HYPOTHESES WERE ADVANCED FOR STUDY. THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTION WAS THAT THERE ARE IMPORTANT…

Three groups of Nigerian high school and college students were tested for response to four pictorial depth cues. Students had more difficulty with cues concerning the relative size of objects and the foreshortening of straight lines than with cues involving overlap of lines and distortion of the angles between lines.

Outlines two competing hypotheses concerning the nature of inter-modal sensory development. Research on auditory-visual coordination in young human infants is reviewed. It is concluded that the data support the notion of ontogenetic development being a process of intergration between sensory systems that are initially relatively independent.…

Investigates preschool children's ability (n = 30) to discriminate age, and subject's use of different facial areas in ranking facial photographs into age order. Results indicate subjects from 3 to 9 years can successfully rank the photos. Compared with other facial features, the eye region was most important for success in the age ranking task.…

Both good and poor readers stored information indicating whether a word was heard or seen and information concerning a word's category membership. (Author)

Eight sets of paired auditory and visual stimuli were constructed. Each member of the auditory pair was matched by one member of the visual pair (e.g., ascending "tone/up arrow"; descending "tone/down arrow"). Sixty-one infants with a mean age of 11.4 months were presented matching and unmatching stimuli; total fixation time…

The aim of this paper was to study the phenomenon of joint visual attention between human infants and adults. (Author/DB)

This brief overview on dyslexia notes the problems of defining this syndrome, presents a profile of a "typical" dyslexic child, and describes the three sub-types of dyslexia which have been identified. (SJL)

Investigates the responsiveness of 14- and 20-week-old infants to binocular information using a stereoscopic shadow caster showing an object approaching on a collision course. (Author/SS)
