The multitrait-multimethod matrix technique was used to evaluate student responses to two tests of spatial orientation and visualization. The Eliot-Price tests met all criteria for convergent and discriminant validity. The Guilford-Zimmerman did not meet one of the criteria for discriminant validity. (Author/BJG)

Children of ages two and one-half, three, and three and one-half years were tested for their understanding of object hiding. Results indicated that children of this age can be both nonegocentric and skillful at estimating what other people do and do not see under various viewing conditions. (JMB)

The latency at which objects could be identified by 126 subjects was compared through line drawings (edge-based) or color photography (surface depiction). The line drawing was identified about as quickly as the photograph; primal access to a mental representation of an object can be modeled from an edge-based description. (SLD)

Inpatients (n=67) treated for alcohol and drug abuse were administered the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) and Luescher Color Test (LCT). Patients showed more preference for brown than did normal adults and also obtained higher (i.e., presumably more pathological) scores on Luescher's total score scale and compensation scale.…

Summarizes the efforts of teachers at all levels of education to prepare students with the basics of art education. Describes the art foundations program of the Maryland Institute College of Art, and concludes that perceptual drawing is the most basic of all art subjects. (JDH)

The study employed the use of field reversals--printing white and yellow foregrounds on a black background--to decrease the amount of light reflected from printed materials to the eye with 18 visually impaired children (9-14 years old). The findings indicated that neither reversals in contrast nor chromaticity differences were effective measures…

Graphical perception is the visual decoding of the quantitative and qualitative information encoded on graphs. Some recent theoretical/experimental investigations of graphical perception are described, identifying certain elementary graphical-perception tasks that are performed in the visual decoding of quantitative information from graphs.…

Article focused on the illusion caused by an unmonitored overshoot of the target by the eyes. (Editor/RK)

Measures of visual information processing in dyslexic and normal children were compared. Significant differences were found between dyslexics and normals at early stages of visual information processing. (ST)

There appears considerable support for the proposal that children of normal intelligence and significant reading retardation are more neurologically pathological than are normal readers as a group. (Author)

Series of experiments indicates that young infants are more sensitive to the spatial orientation of forms than was previously thought. This report is based on a dissertation submitted to the University of Strathclyde, August, 1969, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MSc. (MH)
