The present study was designed to identify sources of information in the human face and to determine how this information is processed by young children in solving problems. (ST)

Assesses subjects' information output after presentation of pictorial, word, and sentence stimuli. Output is measured in two modes of response: reconstruction and verbal description. Complexity of the stimuli is demonstrated to have important effects on perceptual information processing. (DP)

Examines the effect of different training methods on perceptual learning of impulsive children. A matching to sample method (M), and a differentiation method (D) were used. Data indicated that Ss receiving D training learned to process features distinguishing stimuli; whereas, Ss receiving M training showed no preference for a particular mode of…

One question prompting the present research concerned the relation between performance under tachistoscopic'' conditions where exposure durations are too brief to permit active overt visual search, and performance when overt search is possible. (Author)

This will mean giving learners the tools to go beyond what is merely visual to the deeper, human meanings that lie beneath. One important way that educators can prepare students to be wise visual consumers is to help…
