Attempts to provide empirical evidence for a functional correspondence between perception and imagination. Includes a perceptual-control condition in examining visual memory and imagery. (Author/RK)

A series of simple activities not only illustrates how our eyes work but also dramatically shows how the brain interprets the eyes' information. Uses these activities to introduce a study of the eye to elementary students and to motivate their interest. (Author/RK)

Forty-three elementary students with learning disabilities in mathematics were administered a variety of measures to examine the relationship between selected language and visuospatial skills and mathematic achievement. (Author/DLS)

To examine the relationship between performance on the Frostig Developmental Test of Visual Perception and birth order, 578 first-graders were tested. (Author)

Presents a quantitative calculation of the inadequacy of human vision to illustrate Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. (MLH)

Describes an experiment revealing a visual latency effect produced by the wearing of sunglasses. (SL)

Research methodology on reading improvement should focus on the processing of stimuli and experience of content rather than on simple models of reading using eye movement, silent speech, perceptual span, reading ability and visual ability as explanatory concepts. (MKM)

The effects of perceptual and cognitive factors on information processing in visual periphery were studied in 5- and 8-year-old children and in adults. Subjects judged either the similarity (Study 1) or identity (Study 2) of geometric forms. (Author/SB)

This experiment was designed to determine whether children's inability to discriminate mirror-image oblique lines is a function of encoding in memory the left-right orientation or the degree of slope of an oblique line. (Author/SB)

Presents an overview of some of the major concerns for teachers of Image Study in higher education and offers examples of image sets useful for concept teaching. (MH)

Offers a brief student analysis of the visual elements which compose the front pages of two daily British newspapers in a single day. (MH)

This study investigated infants' differential responding to novel and familiar stimuli after familiarization in a different sensory modality. Results showed that infants gain information about the shape of objects from their oral experience with them and that this information can be transferred to the visual modality. (Author/JMB)

Development of the relation between skills of visual and auditory pattern classification was studied at the second grade, sixth grade, and adult age levels using visual and auditory representations of the same abstract information. Results showed evidence of common processing of pattern class structure for the modalities, patterns, prototypes, and…

Videotapes were made of the prehensile activity and looking behavior of 2- and 5-month-old infants in the presence of objects placed within and beyond possible contact distance. (BRT)
