Studied influences of simultaneously and successively exposing kindergarten and elementary children to low and high speed motion pictures on their judgment of distance, synchroneity, and isochronism. Concluded the presence of tau and kappa-movement effects in the younger group and anti-kappa effects among the older group. (CC)

The purpose of the experiment was to ascertain whether the duration of the spiral illusion could be extended by a 'learning procedure' which would distinguish a longer-term learning effect from short-term adaptive changes due to inhibition. (Author)

Findings from an experiment designed to discover if color could improve learning from television. (Author/HB)

The relation between type of label and perception of faces was assessed in second- and sixth-grade children. Labels associated with color increased color perception, whereas labels based on expressiveness increased differentiation of expression variations, but not color perception. (ST)

The study tested the existence of communication between visual and haptic senses with 3- and 5-year-old children. Major finding: only visual-haptic training improved performance on the haptic indentification test. Apparently there was no transfer across sense modalities. (ST)

This study investigates the visual information storage capacity in 5-, 8-, 11-, and 21-year olds. A partial report technique is used to assess the amount of information that children can take in and what the course of information loss was over time. (DP)

Two theoretical models of visual attention and contingent learning were presented to provide a framework for the consideration of how observed individual differences in infant behavior may interact with nonsocial stimuli and caretaker-mediated stimuli to influence the individual's development of patterns of visual attention and contingency…

Discusses the visual and photographic methods and the design features of a camera at Aberystwyth with a brief justification for satellite tracking. Indicates that satellite measurements have been used to determine the shape of the earth and diurnal variations in atmospherical densities. (CC)

Studies support the hypothesis that images aroused by discreet verbal stimuli can be integrated into complex images with the result that: (a) storage capacity requirements are reduced, and (b) recall of one component of the image leads to effective redintegration of the rest. (JB)

Experiment was designed to provide some evidence that motor cortex involvement may facilitate visual perception during the period of perceptual learning. (Author)

The question of how children perceive TV and film violence incidents in justified and unjustified contexts in comparison with already known adult perceptions is the basis for this study. (Author)
