This study sought to assess the ontogenetic course of three classes of size-value phenomena. Size-value phenomena refers to the observation that valued and neutral objects physically equal in size are judged as unequal. Results are discussed in terms of perceptual development. (ST)

In this paper some of the issues and recurring problems in operating Multidisciplinary Training Teams in school settings are recounted, and principles and procedures for dealing with such matters as initial attachment of the team to a school, problems within the MDTT team itself, and modification of roles are discussed.

This study measured audience perceptions during the course of a prerecorded segment of the television series "Emergency" and compared audience responses with the occurrence of specific production variables: subject movement, camera movement, cutting rate, image size, and so on. Audience-response equipment, capable of recording ratings…

Presented in the paper is the hypothesis that father-daughter incest may be seen as a family maintenance device when the mother abdicates her sexual role and the father turns to his daughter to fulfill his sexual needs rather than going outside the family. Data from subcultures in Sweden, Japan, and America is cited. Female sex role development is…

This paper describes three experiments which demonstrated the presence of binaural perception abilities (the ability to use both ears) in 4-month-old but not in 2-month-old infants. All of the experiments employed a visual fixation habituation-dishabituation paradigm in which infants were given a series of visual fixation trials while binaural…

This case study illustrates and expands upon the principle that innovation efforts involve both role change and change in role interrelationships, changes that (ideally) will be supportive of the innovation effort, but which may--if duplication, gaps among roles, or tension arise--weaken or destroy the effort. A planning effort in the Cleveland…

A computer-displayed 3-D tic-tac-toe game was used to investigate adult perceptual biases in dealing with diagonal line orientations. Also investigated was the interaction between prior spatial ability and the effects of explicit visual modeling and structured practice on performance. Results indicated a strong selective difficulty in dealing with…

The thirteen chapters in this collection provide a detailed examination of visual perception and visual constancy. After a first chapter providing an historical overview of the field, the 11 central chapters present reports on current research from leading investigators.

This study sought to develop a method for describing readers' perceptions of the topical organization of prose and to specify text features that determine perception of organization. A hierarchical clustering analysis was applied to high-school and college readers' judgments of the topical relatedness of sentences in two prose passages. This…

Since Berlin and Kay's proposal in 1969 of two universals concerning the meanings of basic color words, three kinds of information have become available to help in understanding the encoding sequence, that is, the temporal order in which the basic color categories are accorded lexical status. McDaniel (1972, 1974, forthcoming) demonstrates that…
