The advancement of microcomputer technology has reached the point where color monitors and color computer software are fast becoming the norm in our information society. Color is another channel for communication, and can be used for enhancement of both aesthetic characteristics and productivity. The advantage to the use of color for communication…

In this study, the Kantian schema has been applied to natural language expression. The novelty of the approach concerns the way in which the Kantian schema interrelates the analytic with the synthetic mode in the construction of the presented formalism. The main thesis is based on the premise that the synthetic, in contrast to the analytic,…

An exploratory study probed the extent to which children rely on category membership to guide their inferences. A total of 60 children, 4 years of age, were shown 20 sets of pictures of various animals, plants, and minerals. Each set consisted of representations of three objects having two salient features: perceptual similarity/dissimilarity and…

In an evaluation of the relation between dimensional salience and preschoolers' judgments of bigness, 3-year-old children were shown triads of rectangles and asked to select the "big" one. The biggest rectangle in each triad was neither the tallest nor the widest. (JMB)

The relationship between neonatal visual information-processing and the burst-pause pattern of nonnutritive sucking was explored. (JMB)

Studied the effects of the relative and absolute salience of three dimensions (form, color and position) on the ability of four- and six-year-olds to employ multiplicative classification. (CW)

Interactive computer-generated simulations that highlight psychological principles were investigated in this study in which 33 female and 19 male undergraduate college student volunteers of median age 21 matched line and circle sizes in six variations of Ponzo's illusion. Prior to working with the illusions, data were collected based on subjects'…

This study examined the development of smooth visual tracking in 11 infants 2 and 3 months of age, with particular attention given to the role of expectation in tracking complex visual motion. Data were gathered by recording the image of the infant's eye as he or she tracked a small computer-generated target as it moved in a sinusoidal trajectory…

The relationship between word recognition subtests of the Wide Range Achievement Test and Peabody Individual Achievement Test with Bender-Gestalt and the Berry-Buktencia Test of Visual Motor Integration was examined with 27 children (7-14 years old) referred for psychological services. The Bender and Berry tests are among the most popular…

Efforts in recent years to combine technology with art have overturned previous attitudes toward man's conception of artistic imagery. (Editor/JR)

Visual perception and visual imagery are sufficiently representative of external stimuli to enhance retention. (Author)

A discussion of visual field, foveal and peripheral vision, eye fixations, recognition and recall of pictures, memory for meaning of pictures, and the relation between speed of presentation and memory. (Editor)

An investigation of 4-month-old children's attention responses to pattern dimensions and orientations by comparing the duration of an infant's fixation to changes in the orientation and structural arrangement of a previously exposed pattern. (ED)

Based on PhD dissertation submitted to the University of California, Los Angeles.
