We asked whether the ability to keep in working memory the binding between a visual object and its spatial location changes with development across the life span more than memory for item information. Paired arrays of colored squares were identical or differed in the color of one square, and in the latter case, the changed color was unique on…

Subjects looked at two optically superimposed video screens. They were required to selectively look at two episodes and monitor significant action taking place. Results showed difficulty in monitoring two episodes at once and that selective viewing does not involve special mechanisms to reject unwanted information. (Author/DEP)

Author considered the range of questions involved in aesthetic education focusing on the categorization of art works as carriers of meaning in the broadest sense, signs. (Author/RK)

Reports two experiments which were designed to establish whether errors in infants' manual searches for objects are caused by changes in the location of an object or by the change in the relation between old and new hiding places. (JMB)

Article investigated the pattern of results for three series of tests in which monkeys were deprived of sight of their limbs from birth. (Author/RK)

Examines the degree to which visual perceptual training plus remediation affect the achievement of reading skills of children initially diagnosed as poor perceivers. (RB)

The primary reason for good spellers' inability to find spelling errors while proofreading might involve the perceptual factor in reading. (BP)

The study investigated the relationships between student-therapists' tolerance for ambiguity in visual perception tasks and (a)the positive affect displayed toward them by their clients, (b)measures of improvement in clients' self self-reference statements, and (c)measures of improvement in clients'"adjustment".

Preliminary theoretical explanations for visual analysis of stimuli are offered in terms of bilateral nervous systems, handedness and reading, and perceptual strategies. (RB)

A diagnostic study tested the hypothesis that still advertising pictures and television commercials are governed by a basic visual communication principle: that viewers' comprehension and retention of still and moving images depends greatly on the harmonious coexistence of their figure/ground relationships. Ten still images (half in black and…

The paper examines issues concerned with the education and employment of individuals, primarily males, with color vision deficiency. After a brief introduction, the first chapter looks at adult problems such as employment areas in which the disability presents problems. The next chapter considers problems of children, noting the heavy use of color…

Visual knowledge is an enormously important part of our total knowledge. The psychological study of learning and knowledge has focused almost exclusively on verbal materials. Today, the advance of technology is making the use of visual communication increasingly feasible and popular. However, this enthusiasm involves the illusion that visual…

Two experiments were conducted with 80 college students to examine factors associated with the crossmodal facilitation of learning Braille symbols when the visual modality is utilized. In Experiment 1 subjects using the haptic mode were informed of both the structure of the braille cell and the range of dot numerosity of the symbols to be…

The viewer's perception of television pictures is different from the perception of pictures generated by other visual media. The research findings on the subject reveal that there are four major areas under which the study of television picture perception can be grouped. The "light through" as opposed to the "light on" theory…
