The Common Core State Standards place unprecedented emphasis on visual text--appropriately so, as visual components are increasingly ubiquitous in many kinds of text. This shift in emphasis requires substantial changes in our teaching. Concepts of print need to be expanded to include concepts of graphics, and specific graphical devices, such as…

This article reported the development of a method aimed at exploring the relations among covert muscle behavior, mental imagery, and the perception of external stimulation. (Author/RK)

Article attempted to show how two major factors of decision confidence and expectancy are reflected in the P to the subpower of 3 component (a long-latency positive component) of the cortical-evoked potential. (Editor/RK)

Authors questioned whether the familiarity effect in the processing of words is a "perceptual" phenomenon or whether it is produced by visual rather than verbal mechanisms. (Author/RK)

The influence of stimulus number and familiarity on judged duration were investigated. Results showed that the number of stimulus elements presented within a given interval affected its perceived duration, although the familiarity of those elements (as defined herein) did not. (Editor/RK)

The present experiment supports the hypothesis that the letter is the basic perceptual unit in letter, nonword, and word identification. (Author)

Results indicate that for children in this study's age range orientation is a less salient discriminative cue than either size or color. (Author/MB)

From experiments showing that subjects differentially attend to parts of the visual field, psychologists have inferred a limitation on human visual information processing capacity. The model presented describes an optimal way to allocate a limited quantity of "cognitive resources", "attention" or "mental effort". An experiment tests this model.…

Measures the phenomenal and the functional durations of visual stimuli differing in informational value. (Author/RK)

In this study on set illusion, control subjects (those having no experimental experiences) and experimental subjects (those being exposed to "setting" trials) were compared on various measures usually indicative of strength of set. (Editor/RK)

This article is concerned with the perceptual load in searching for a number of kinds of target which are presented for a fixed, short period of time. The aim is to establish data which any acceptable model of human information processing will need to fit. (Author)

It is proposed that in the process of letter perception a preliminary nonverbal code is available in the right hemisphere until superceded by a verbal code in the left hemisphere. (Editor)

Scholars in the field of communication theory and research have ignored and problematized the relationship between sign and meaning. This paper discusses the relationship in order to catalogue the different positions taken and to investigate the work that gets done from these positions. In the "brute sense data" or physicalist position, the…
