Investigates preschool children's ability (n = 30) to discriminate age, and subject's use of different facial areas in ranking facial photographs into age order. Results indicate subjects from 3 to 9 years can successfully rank the photos. Compared with other facial features, the eye region was most important for success in the age ranking task.…

In this longitudinal study, infants' visual guidance of hand orientation was investigated by presenting a rod either horizontally or vertically to see if the orientation of the reaching hand was adjusted toward the orientation of the rod before contacting it. Subjects were l8 infants seen monthly between 18 and 34 weeks of age. (RH)

Article focused on numerous examples of mimic/model confusion experienced by animal and man. (Author/RK)

Dispells various misconceptions underlying both theory and practice of teaching religion through art, while pointing out substantial reasons why such teaching should be viewed affirmatively. (Author/RK)

Attempts to apply a chronometric analysis to the tendency of the visual modality to dominate conscious judgments about the presence and location of objects. (Author/RK)

Human infants' discrimination of changes in internal and external elements of compound visual patterns was investigated in four experiments employing a familiarization-novelty paradigm in which visual reinforcing patterns were presented contingent upon rate of high-amplitude nonnutritive sucking.

The ability of 3-month-old infants to discriminate novel components of a pre-familiarized stimulus was assessed using an operant paradigm. Subjects were 20 infants; adult judgments were taken from 15 college students. (Author/JH)

In the artistic process the artist verifies and exemplifies his or her perceptions and conception of their work. This paper discusses the model of the artistic process which describes the repertoire of perceptual clues that the artist develops. The rationale for the development of the model is for the art teacher to be able to explain in simple…

Gestalt psychologists have given many examples to demonstrate that laws of visual organization cause one view of scene to dominate others. This is also true for simple shapes. A figure can be articulated into many fragments but only a few will be perceptually dominant. (Author)

The work reported in this study attempts to further isolate the place of two codes of information, visual and acoustic. (Author/RK)

Primary purpose of the present research was to test the reasoning that any procedure that interferes with the naming of the test stimuli, while leaving visual complexity unaffected, ought to increase the detrimental effects on reaction time and accuracy produced by changing case. (Authors/CB)
