The article describes the experiences a researcher had with children who said they saw colored auras around people and things. (CD)

Disfunctions are drawn between visual perception and visual function, and four optometrists respond with further analysis of the visual perception-visual function controversy and its implications for children with learning problems. (CL)

Two experiments were conducted to demonstrate that human infants 3 months of age perceive color in a normal, trichromatic manner. Results from these studies of the neutral zone and hue discrimination evidence trichromatic vision in infancy and are discussed in the context of their clinical, social, and intellectual implications.

This study of educable mental retardates and intellectually average children supported the commonsense notion that recognition skill is more highly developed than reproduction skill in same age children of both groups. (WY)

Tests the hypothesis that the Mueller-Lyer illusion will be less strong when an observer is distant from figures than when he is close, and presents results that do not confirm the hypothesis. (RW)
