Concludes that a teacher is one who creates circumstances that will result in students' learning and is able to adapt to individual variations among students. (RB)

A scheme, using features in a cartoon-like human face to represent variables, is tested as to its ability to graphically depict multivariate data. A factor analysis of Harman's "24 Psychological Tests" was performed and yielded four orthogonal factors. Nose width represented the loading on Factor 1; eye size on Factor 2; curve of mouth…

TEN PAIRS OF BLIND CHILDREN AGED SIX TO 13 YEARS WHO HAD SOME VISION WERE MATCHED BY PRETEST SCORES ON A TEST OF VISUAL DISCRIMINATION. A CRITERION GROUP, DESIGNATED THE PRINT COMPARISON GROUP, HAD SLIGHLY HIGHER RECORDED DISTANCE ACUITIES AND USED VISION AS THE PRIMARY MEANS OF LEARNING. PAIRS OF EXPERIMENTAL SUBJECTS DAILY RECEIVED 45 MINUTES OF…

The first step in learning to read is to recognize the visual language code as equivalent to the auditory code. The next step is the translation between auditory and visual information as well as between temporal and spatial organizations. The factors contributing to such translations are divided into six subprocesses: auditory sequence…

Although there has been previous research concerned with image size, brightness, and contrast in projection standards, the work has lacked careful conceptualization. In this study, size was measured in terms of the visual angle subtended by the material, brightness was stated in foot-lamberts, and contrast was defined as the ratio of the…

Concerned with the need to offer high school students organized practice in observing visual stimuli and writing about what they see, the author offers an annotated list of short films with little dialogue and narration that can conveniently be used in the classroom for teaching observation through the moving image.

This paper deals with research on the development of infants' ability to perceive invariant features of things and the relation of objects to both the spatial layout of the infants' environment and to themselves. Basic assumptions regarding the perception of invariance are discussed and a theoretical view of the role of motion in the development…

Little research has been conducted into the structure of television images. This structure merits examination in terms of its perceptual psychology, composition (light, color, form, placement, sound, and editing), and the aesthetics of motio Field forces theory asserts that there are differences between a real scenario and its representation on…

A looming paradigm was used to determine what depth information infants process in addition to that provided by the expansion of a single, closed contour of an object. A total of 18 male and 15 female infants aged 22-48 days watched a film in which the circular elements and inter-element spaces of the projected image alternately expanded and…

The essays in this book concern themselves with the carefully sequenced interplay between sensory, imaginative awareness and disciplined, scientific knowledge. They deal specifically with sharpening visual perception. The opening essays analyze the fundamental characteristics of visual faculties. The next group of essays deal with vision as an…

The project was concerned with developing and testing self-instructional programs in communication skills for high school students. Initially the programs were presented in printed form; later two forms of presentation were used, printed and auditory. In the pilot studies students were put through the learning exercises individually. Two programs…

Proceedings of a seminar on the present status of vision engineering and the possible effects on criteria for school planning. A discussion by Dr. H. Richard Blackwell on vision engineering is included. Topics of discussion include--(1) broad aspects of the effect of light upon sight, (2) lighting variables and task visibility, (3) lighting…

The results of all basic measurements and calculations of reflected glare for different lighting materials and conditions are presented in a series of tables and charts. All basic concepts of a quantitative method for evaluating the visual significance of reflected glare are identified in relationship to different types of visual performance. The…

Sixteen kindergarten and 28 first-grade children were tested on two-choice discrimination problems. A prompt light indicated the positive (rewarded) object P on all training trials, and these were followed by a single nonprompted test trial during which a new object (X) replaced either P (X-N problems) or N (P-X problems) or neither (P-N control…
