Contends that everyone must learn to read images because our culture is increasingly represented and perceived in visual terms. (Author/RK)

A psychologist with experience in two government agencies suggests that good scientific selection practices and equal employment opportunity are compatible and interdependent goals. (Author/RK)

It was hypothesized that a moving or stationary observer who samples an ambient optic array specific to egomotion over a flat plain obtains a phenomenal experience of egomotion over that environment and further that the focus of expansion need not be present in the optic array sample for an observer to perceive his heading and egomotion.…

A theory of perception and attention that emphasizes the relational nature of perceptual invariants is developed within the context of auditory pattern research. (Editor)

The self-concepts, public selves, and perceptions of the female stereotype of a sample of college women are examined. Significant differences exist suggesting that the female stereotype is not internalized but rather acts as an external constraint in the behavior of such females. (Author/MLF)

The reactions of 112 10-month-old male infants to the property of curvature were examined using a habituation paradigm with lever pressing as an instrumental response. (SB)

Examined whether early differences in stress reactivity were related to self-recognition at 18 months. Found that self-recognition was related to greater cortisol response and less rapid quieting at 6 to 18 months, whereas cortisol and quieting responses of 2- to 4-month-olds did not differentiate self-recognizers and non-self-recognizers,…

This objection to M. Scriven's claim that the basic logic of evaluation is criterial and standards-based notes that valuing is an integral part of perception. Disciplining the synthesis process through critiques of interpretations and values and by using competing conceptual organizers is discussed. (SLD)

Adolescents (N=32) ages 13-18 were interviewed about their experiences of death and loss. Subjects attended suburban public high school or a facility for adjudicated urban youth. Urban adolescents' perception of death involved reference to violence or religion. The most distasteful aspect of death to suburban students was suffering, while to…

Investigates the differences between students' and instructors' perceptions of similarities among basic computation-related rational number skills. Results indicate that college students in developmental mathematics do see some relationships among rational number computation skills, although not necessarily the ones seen by instructors. (AIM)

Four-, six, and eight-month-old infants' perception of the multimodal features of the human face was investigated. Results show that speech-related exaggerated prosody cues facilitate detection of the audible features of multimodally represented faces, but not until six months of age. (Author/DR)

This literature review of 1991-95 occupational health research is classified by key constructs: environmental characteristics, individual characteristics, cognitive appraisal, coping, and health outcomes. Research problems are identified: 77% of studies use a cross-sectional design, 59% use shortened ad hoc scales, and 68% use self-report for both…

Discusses the use of the sustainability triad as a framework for teaching sustainability in the classroom. Uses a short case study of a national park to show how the triad can be used to determine if its three dimensions (economic, social, and environmental) are congruent or in conflict with each other. (Contains 17 references.) (Author/YDS)

This commentary reviews the existing research literature concerning support for talking about objects in mediated communication, drawing three conclusions: speech alone is often sufficient for effective conversations; visual information about work objects is generally more valuable than visual information about work participants; and disjoint…
