It was the purpose of these studies to obtain evidence in support of the "phonetic symbolism" hypothesis. An initial study and two replications…

The raw data collected in a study to determine the effect of attention in measuring visual perception are provided. A key to the 19 numerical headings of the raw data tabulation is given. Two pages of tables presented the raw data. (For related documents, see TM 002 116,117.) (DJ)

Two experiments examined the effect of haptic exploration on visual recognition of nonsense forms by 4- to 7-year-old children. In Experiment 1, haptic activity was optional for S. The amount and type of activity was rated. Those Ss who voluntarily produced haptic activity reached criterion in a repeated exposure-test recognition task in fewer…

Infants aged 3, 5, and 7 months were shown solid objects and comparable intangible images of objects both within and beyond possible arm's reach.
