Discusses the bombardment of the visual sense with new technological forms of communication. (MF)

Art activities of elementary school students sought to develop a concept of architecture as an art form. (CK)

Clear quantitative and qualitative differences in visual scanning strategies were found between the groups and discussed with respect to differences between perceptually impaired and normal children's rates of encoding information and reliance upon visual memory. (Author)

Infants five- and seven-months-old were sequentially shown three stimulus arrays of visual elements, only one of which was capable of producing subjective contours. An infant habituation control procedure was used to test infants' abilities to discriminate the arrays. (Author/RH)

The effects of perceptual set and of "sequential visual noise" on the identification of briefly exposed pictures were examined in 5-year-olds, 8-year-olds, and adults. (Author/MP)

Kindergarten children were given a salience-assessment task to determine each child's salience hierarchy for the dimensions of form, color, and position, and each was provided perceptual training with his/her least salient dimension. Training promoted fewer errors in recall in comparison to control group subjects. (RH)

A study involving deaf and hearing children investigated the perceptual abilities of deaf children employing tasks with both simultaneously and sequentially presented stimulus material. A series of motion picture tests, mostly involving abstract geometric figures, suggested that deaf and hearing children are comparable on visual memory tasks and…
