The author presents a detailed outline of a Modified Association Method (MAM), a language remediation program using a structured multisensory approach for use with school aged, learning disabled children. (SBH)

This research study demonstrated that using a wireless system makes it possible to use the neurological impress method successfully with several students at a time. (MKM)

Auditory visual information equivalence in 15 mentally retarded and 15 intellectually average 12- to 13-year-olds found retarded subjects were more accurate on intra- than on intersensory tasks, whereas there was no such difference for average subjects. Tasks involving transposition were more difficult than others for the retarded children.…

A practical and simple approach to developing reading and spelling skills in learning disabled students combines writing of stories with illustrations, and reading and reviewing the typed stories each day. The modified multisensory approach can be used in small group formats. (CL)

The five senses can be exploited to add a creative touch to writing projects. (JH)

Discusses the utilization of films and transparenceies in teachn g poetry and recommends a multisensory approach to such instruction. (SW)

Alternative teaching approaches, including the use of multisensory teaching, were studied with 40 first-grade children, 20 identified as "at risk" for learning problems and 20 control Ss. Results showed that the experimental group had significantly more gains in all areas tested than the control group. (PHR)

Examines the concept that all perceptual development seems to involve the tactile or sense of feel and attempts to comprehend this relationship. Its implications for teaching reading and for developing instructional techniques are also considered. (Author/RK)

Presents examples of different approaches that rely on multisensory learning and an element of creative motivational exploration in the conceptual understanding of science. (Author/CCM)

The purpose of these two studies was to redirect interest to the Neurological Impress Method, a multisensory approach to reading instruction that occurs between a teacher and a student, which has been largely forgotten in mainstream and special education circles over the past decades. In addition to its emphasis on oral reading, we included a…

Recent studies using a violation-of-expectation task suggest that preverbal infants are capable of recognizing basic arithmetical operations involving visual objects. There is still debate, however, over whether their performance is based on any expectation of the arithmetical operations, or on a general perceptual tendency to prefer visually…

Recent research indicates that by 4.5 months, infants use shape and size information as the basis for individuating objects but that it is not until 11.5 months that they use color information for this purpose. The present experiments investigated the extent to which infants' sensitivity to color information could be increased through select…

Suggestopedia is a recent teaching technique which enables students to learn with impressive speed, little conscious effort, and a great deal of pleasure. Developed by Georgi Lozanov, suggestopedia is based on the assumption that a number of environmental, social, and psychological variables can be altered to make more effective use of students'…
