Article describes an experimental project in Milford, Ohio, in which students were taught visually. (HB)

Two experiments are an attempt to provide a description of three commonly observed phenomena of recognition behavior for alphabet characters in terms of the mathematics of correlation. (Author/KM)

Concludes that combined audiovisual presentations were significantly superior to either audio or visual presentations of information, thus confirming the validity of the Cue Summation Theory. (RB)

This article deals with studies that manipulated physical parameters of pictures- the amount of realistic detail, color versus black and white, and moving versus still pictures. (Author)

Described is an investigation into "the effects of visual education on teachers-in-training. The project sought to discover the effects of participation in a visual communications experience upon students' overall attitudes, quality of work, and ability to communicate." (Author/LS)

This essay focuses on the process of learning, discussing television viewing and written language in terms of discursive (words) and nondiscursive (art forms) symbolism. Libraries' use of these symbolic forms is also discussed. (EJS)

Training improves the ability of human observers to discriminate between two similar directions of motion. This gradual improvement is specific to the direction on which an observer is trained, enduring for several months. Improvement does not affect motion perception generally, nor does it depend on recognition of details of the movement. (Author)

Two experiments tested possible explanations for previous research demonstrating lower span of apprehension for learning disabled students. In experiment 1, the length of visual persistence was less for LD subjects, while in experiment 2, the rate of information pick-up was slower for LD subjects. (CL)

Studies involving 30 learning-disabled elementary students support the contention that reading comprehension difficulties among learning-disabled children are partly due to inefficient memorization strategies, and demonstrate the efficacy of practical, cost-effective mnemonic training procedures which significantly increase reading comprehension…

Discusses the use of a modified oscilloscope in teaching pronunciation, which enables students to see the differences in pronunciation patterns they might be unable to hear. (EKN)

Resistance applied to activities of rocking, creeping, and walking as a means to increase visual attention of students who are easily distracted is described. The resistance activities are said to result in improvement of gross motor coordination, oculomotor control, memory processes, and untimately, greater efficiency in academic learning. (CL)
