“…Finally, there is increasing evidence that training in verbalizing particular task variables does not, as such, ap-preciably improve a conceptual performance (Beilin & Franklin, 1962;Wohlwill & Lowe, 1962). In those cases where verbalization did seem to help, inspection of the procedure usually shows that verbalization did more than merely provide words.…”

Deaf people who are deprived of linguistic experience during the formative years seem to provide a unique opportunity to psychologists concerned with the language-cognition relationship. Empirical studies of deaf people's performance on nonverbal cognitive tasks were reviewed. Deaf were found to perform similarly to hearing persons on tasks where verbal knowledge could have been assumed a priori to benefit the hearing. Such evidence appears to weaken a theoretical position which attributes to language a direct, general, or decisive influence on intellective development. The poorer performance of the deaf on some tasks is parsimoniously attributed to either lack of general experience which is no longer manifest by adulthood or to specific task conditions which favor linguistic habits.

“…Though a number of experimenters have investigated certain aspects of Gibson's psychophysical hypothesis (Epstein and Park,I 964), few studies have considered the influence of texture variables on judgements of distance. In a number of studies, by Gibson (I947), Weinstein (1950, 1957)~ Smith (1958, Sonoda (1961), Wohlwill (1962Wohlwill ( , 1965 and Newman (1969), the influence of texture and perspective gradients on distance judgements within a twodimensional, pictorial scene has been considered. From these experiments it is difficult to draw conclusions relating to the wider issue of space perception in the three-dimensional world of objects and surfaces since, as both Gibson (1954) and Hochberg (1962) indicate, it cannot be assumed that the information about depth provided by a picture is exactly equivalent to that provided in the real world even when the observer is motionless and monocular.…”

A hypothesis derived from J. J. Gibson's psychophysical theory of space perception was tested. Subjects made monocular relative distance judgements by moving n marker to the apparent physical mid-point between two other fixed markers which were placed on a surface along the subjects' line of sight. Judgements were significantly influenced by the texture density gradients of stimulation derived from the surface over which they were made.
