This article discusses the issue of assent of school-age bilingual children to participate in a research study. The article reviews cognitive, cultural, and linguistic factors influencing verbal and nonverbal concept formation in bilingual children. At the applied level, the focus of the article is on methodological considerations in using this information to obtain assent from a child who is bilingual and speaks English as a second language. Recommendations for the assessment of the child's language dominance, language proficiency, and the development of the assent form are provided. Language diversity and its potential effects on the assent process need to be formally acknowledged and appropriately addressed.

Although many experiments and documents on 360° viewable holograms have been successfully produced and documented prior to this paper, those most noteworthy and applicable to our work include U.S.S.R. patent SU1 103194 issued in 1984 and patent 4,988,154 issued to Matthew Hansen in 1991. This paper will discuss the development and implementation of 360° viewable holograms on flat disk ifim based on the original concept proposed by Craig Newswanger of CFC Applied Holographics. Conventionally, 360°h olograms were viewable in cylindrical format. Our project involves a simple optical set-up and method, and in uses flat film, without altering its shape cylindrically1.O-8194-1666-5/95/$6.OO Downloaded From: http://proceedings.spiedigitallibrary.org/ on 06/29/2016 Terms of Use: http://spiedigitallibrary.org/ss/TermsOfUse.aspx
