These experiments seek evidence for the existence, the operation, and the extent of influence of one type of code--a verbal, linguistic, semantic, name code--on memory. As well, they bring a new stimulus dimension, color, to this kind of test in a manner that would allow identification of individual variation in the use of different verbal labels…

The tension between a humanism that is essentially classical and insistence on respect for the uniqueness of movies is most acute in Balazs. This paper undertakes to bring this tension to light and to specify it. (Author/RK)

The present study casts doubt on (1) the validity of assuming certain geometric illusions as being "perspective" related, and (2) the consistency of perspective explanation (constancy scaling) for geometric illusions. (Author)

Reports the results of studies of perception of very young infants. Sixty infants 6 to 23 days old were presented objects; looking-at and reaching-for the objects were measured. Results indicated active visual exploration of objects did occur; however, little motor activity was directed toward the objects. (SL)

A small, local school district in north central Ohio, in making application for state funds to construct a new school, requested parent and community input. An exploratory study asked students what kind of classroom would improve their learning. The student assessment was part of a class assignment and took the form of pencil drawings. Three…

Author states that participation in TV becomes video feedback to teachers and parents. If radical approaches to TV become the norm, video will be the content of a new awareness that is being generated by this new visual culture. (Author)

Four specially-prepared maps were used in this investigation to discover factors that make maps interesting and readable for children. (JH)

The results of this study suggest that little relationship exists between color vision and primary academic achievement. The authors believe that staff time could be more effectively utilized in a junior high school screening program for color vision rather than in the primary grades. (JC)

Study indicates that students suffering a disability in color perception would have greater difficulty in achieving success in biology than would students not so handicapped. (Author/CB)

Results indicate that for children in this study's age range orientation is a less salient discriminative cue than either size or color. (Author/MB)

To test perceptual responses, 120 subjects viewed 12 experimental and one controlled housing environments. Three levels of building form diversity were combined with four levels of space diversity in the experimental environments. Results indicated that amount of visual coverage of the field of view increased significantly with increases in both…

Response patterns of deaf and hearing children in matching visual stimuli employing the dimensions of color, size, orientation, and form were compared. (KW)
