Two experiments were conducted to explore infant responsiveness to color and temperature novelty under bimodal conditions. In experiment 1, a total of 48 infants of 26-31 weeks were familiarized with a warm-red, warm-blue, cool-red, or cool-blue object, and assigned to one of three experimental groups. Each group was stimulated by a novel test…

The manual was intended to help school personnel (either an educator of the visually handicapped and/or a certified orientation and mobility instructor) evaluate the functional use of residual vision. The manual is organized in three major sections, which cover the following: (1) the general areas addressed in functional vision evaluation (such as…

This fact sheet defines vision, outlines the visual skills needed for school achievement (ocular motility, binocularity, eye-hand coordination skills, and visual form perception), and describes how visual problems are evaluated and treated. The fact sheet also lists clues to look for when a visual problem is suspected, including the appearance of…

The effects of a parent intervention program on the development of parental awareness and perceptions of parental behavior were examined. Twenty-two parents and their respective children were randomly placed into either an experimental or a control group. The 11 parents in the experimental group were presented with child development information…

The purpose of this study was to determine if the appearance of teachers has an impact on their effectiveness as judged by student ratings and student achievement. Results indicate that there was no difference. (Author/HMV)

Student perceptions were obtained on the emphasis given to cognitive objectives derived from the six levels of the Bloom taxonomy. Findings may suggest empirical ways of identifying the structure of curriculum and instruction. (Author/RC)

Mental health professionals are doing many things besides direct patient care. A sample survey form for mental health personnel to report on their activities is discussed. (JA)

The purpose of this article is not to teach anyone how to use a certain word; rather it is to examine the presuppositions, uses, and implications of the concept 'appreciation' in order to make it a more serviceable instrument in educational discussions. (Author/RK)

Three experiments assessed the ability of 2 to 5-year-old children to infer, under very simple task conditions, what another person sees when viewing something from a position other than the children's own. (ST)

The study investigated the generality of perceptual accuracy across persons and responses and also investigated the reliability of accuracy scores. Results support the concept of a global ability to perceive others. (Author)

This study proposes a social-psychological hypothesis of test faking which postulates that faking involves the enacting of a social role appropriate to the given testing situation. Subtle manipulations of the test-taking environment, designed to induce subjects to adopt given social roles, produced substantial role-specific changes in test scores.…
