Rosenquist, Celia – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2000
A study examined whether exemplar-specific or prototype representations were primarily used by 28 children (ages 10-12) with mild mental retardation in a categorization task consisting of two groups of make-believe animals whose features were ill-defined. Results indicated the children were able to acquire and use both types of representations.…

Al-Saai, Ahmad J.; Dwyer, Francis M. – International Journal of Instructional Media, 1993
A study of 279 females at the University of Qatar that received the Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT) indicated no interaction between learning style (field independent FID/FD field dependent) and three visual treatment types. Findings indicate the possibility of designing instructional materials to reduce achievement differences between FID and…

Croy, Marvin J. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1999
Presents graphic means of representing deductive proofs in a sentential system of symbolic logic. Provides students with performance data following a description of the rule set and the working backwards method. Shows that one interface design is superior to others in respect to working backwards. Draws some general conclusions concerning the…

Dede, Chris – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2000
Focuses on projects funded by the National Science Foundation that illustrate the potential of computers and telecommunications to convey higher-order skills and knowledge. Discusses two projects, ScienceWare and Learning though Collaborative Visualization, as examples of knowledge-networking. Describes three other projects that are centered on…

Chatterjea, Kalyani – Geographical Education, 1999
Focuses on how visual images can help students integrate concepts and synthesize information to make a judgment, thereby guiding the learner toward higher order thinking. Uses geography to demonstrate how, by incorporating visual exercises, student perceptions of difficult concepts are enhanced. (CMK)

Chavez, Oscar; Reys, Robert; Jones, Dusty – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2005
Spatial visualization is an important skill that deserves instructional attention. Strong evidence supports the claim that "measures of mathematical ability tend to be strongly correlated with spatial ability" (Anderson 2000). Thus, there is every reason to believe that time spent helping students develop their spatial visualization skills will…

Flores, Mickie – Science Teacher, 2005
Art provides students a way to visually represent their scientific knowledge and at the same time helps teachers assess student understanding. Examining a drawing allows teachers to scrutinize students' mental model of a science concept. Science can be described as a continuing process of discovering the order and recurring patterns in nature;…

Dean, Graham M.; Dewhurst, Stephen A.; Morris, Peter E.; Whittaker, Annalise – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2005
Eight experiments investigated the effects of visual, spatial, auditory, and executive interference on the symbolic comparison of animal size and ferocity, semantic goodness of words, and numbers. Dynamic visual noise (DVN) and the reading of visually presented stimulus items were shown to selectively interfere with response times on the animal…

Comenetz, Joshua – Journal of Geography, 2005
Mental image and place-preference maps of college students in Florida were created through a two-part lesson. The patterns revealed by these maps were linked to students' life experiences, census data on migration and income, and similar studies conducted in other states. Students prefer states with established migration links to Florida and…

Owens, Russ; Dwyer, Francis – International Journal of Instructional Media, 2005
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of varied visual cueing strategies, used to complement animation, on cognitive processing and achievement of specific educational objectives. An instructional heart material was utilized in this study. Four criterion tests were used in this study, namely: (1) Drawing Test; (2)…

Kali, Yael; Linn, Marcia C. – Elementary School Journal, 2008
Research has shown that technology-enhanced visualizations can improve inquiry learning in science when they are designed to support knowledge integration. Visualizations play an especially important role in supporting science learning at elementary and middle school levels because they can make unseen and complex processes visible. We identify 4…

Faber, Gunter – International Journal of Special Education, 2006
A remedial spelling training approach is presented which systematically combines certain visualizing and verbalizing methods to foster dyslexic students' orthographic knowledge and strategy use. It essentially depends upon an integrative application of algorithmic graphs and verbal self-instructions: Visualization and verbalization are intended…

Yoshimura, Fumiko – Language Teaching Research, 2006
This paper reports an experiment that addresses whether manipulating foreknowledge of output tasks leads to differences in reading behaviour, text comprehension and noticing of language form. Three tasks are used: reading for memorization, reading for retelling and reading for visualization. Reading for memorization and reading for retelling are…

Burke, Mary Ellen – 1997
A study examined the effects of active learning strategies; namely, visualization, questioning, and prediction, upon the reading comprehension performance of learning disabled students. Subjects were 6 12th grade resource room students. Prior to strategy instruction, students read and were tested on 3 reading selections from the literature-based…

Rose, Laura – 1992
Intended to help young children learn to read with comprehension, this book uses visualization and drawing techniques with folktales. The folktales in the book (collected from around the world and freely adapted) were chosen to help primary- and middle-grade students increase their enjoyment and comprehension by eliciting a flood of rich visual…
