Interperceptual experiences of teachers with eighth grade boys (indentified as either internally or externally controlled) were investigated and compared. (ST)

Impulsive second grade, inner-city children, were trained to improve their search strategies on visual discrimination tasks. Groups with training improved their search strategies, while the untrained control group did not. (ST)

Fourth through eleventh grade students evaluated single personality trait descriptions of hypothetical persons of their own sex. Results are discussed in terms of person-perception and social desirability theories of personality. (ST)

Children aged five to nine made judgments about the sizes o f geometric figures at three distances. (ST)

The acquisition of language-receptive processes in preschool children was studied using a word association task. (ST)

Differential looking and manipulation were assessed in 44 six-month-old infants who were presented with familiar and novel visual stimuli. The infants looked at the novel stimuli longer. (ST)

Data from an article published by other authors is reanalyzed to demonstrate how contour density can account for the infant fixation preferences reported. (ST)

A probe-type serial memory task was used to determine whether 3-dimensional objects would produce better recall than colored pictures of the same objects in elementary school students with low IQ's. (ST)

Thirty elementary school students were assigned to one of three experimental conditions, (labeling, imagery, or control) in a pattern reproduction task. (ST)

Deaf children, seven to thirteen years old, were observed on concrete, transitional and formal operational tasks ranging from dual classification to combinatorial reasoning. Results were related to number of years of schooling. (ST)

The ingestion of methylphenidate in hyperactive children was studied in classroom and informal settings. The drug seems to improve tractibility and learning in situations involving clear-cut tasks demands and high compliance, yet leaves informal behavior undisturbed. (ST)

Using a yoked control procedure, kindergarteners either produced or observed interactions between pairs of toys. Children who performed rather than observed remembered the pairings over time. (ST)

This study suggests that the verbal facilitation effect is due to variations in verbal cues rather than to differences in pictorial cues. (ST)

Nine-year-old students were given one presentation of a list of nouns and then performed both recall and recognition tasks. Visual presentation facilitated recall. (ST)
