Tested and confirmed, in three experiments, the hypothesis that children's interpretation of pictorial conventions and of the expression "look like" may increase their tendency toward intellectual realism. That is, a tendency to respond to requests for perceptual reports by indicating what is known about an object or array, rather than…

Two experiments examined changes in the search of infants aged six, seven, and eight months. Experiment 1 found that the majority of infants displayed transitional search before intentional search. Experiment 2 showed that the infants' awareness of a hidden object develops gradually. (Author/RH)

Disfunctions are drawn between visual perception and visual function, and four optometrists respond with further analysis of the visual perception-visual function controversy and its implications for children with learning problems. (CL)

Methods and optics of perceiving color in a black-and-white grating are described. A sample grating which produces the effect is included. (JN)

Two experiments were conducted to demonstrate that human infants 3 months of age perceive color in a normal, trichromatic manner. Results from these studies of the neutral zone and hue discrimination evidence trichromatic vision in infancy and are discussed in the context of their clinical, social, and intellectual implications. (Author/SB)

The Agent-action-Objective (AaO) axiom and the theory of rotational dynamics constitute the frame of reference for the study of the metaphor as instrument for the direct perception of events. The major hypothesis of this frame of reference refers to the event structure embedded in the ground of a metaphor. Since the ground is implicit in the…

The author proposes that the small businessman is an appropriate clientele for Extension and provides a model for effecting the change in Extensions's role. (AG)

This study of educable mental retardates and intellectually average children supported the commonsense notion that recognition skill is more highly developed than reproduction skill in same age children of both groups. (WY)

Hypothesizes that stimulus exposure with consistency and redundancy enhances favorability, while exposure with inconsistency and change lowers favorability. The overall frequency effect suggests that inconsistent and changing contiguous associates impair, not reverse, the exposure-favorability relationship. (MB)

An approach to music instruction that stresses hearing and analyzing is discussed. (DB)
