Fall 2004 Annotated Bibliography 2

Bosler, Andria. Florence Goodenough. Retrieved October 31, 2004 from http://fates.cns.muskingum.edu/~psych/psycweb/history/goodenough.htm Bosler gives a wonderful, narrative depiction of Goodenough’s life while presenting a great deal of biographical information. She lists a biography, contributions, and a time line of key events separately on the webpage as the access information quickly and easily. All of the information coincides will my other sources. There is also on this page the same picture of Goodenough that I retrieved from a different website.

Crain, W. (2005). Theories of Development Concepts and Applications. Upper Saddle River: Prentice Hall. This book discusses many prominent theorists of child development, beginning with Locke and Rousseau. The book concentrates on theorists who explain how development might arise from something inside based on inner promptings and spontaneous interests. This leads to explanations of how and why we view the world differently at different stages of life. The theorists reviewed influenced many modern thinkers on their theories of child cognitive development.

Di Leo, J. H. (1983). Interpreting Children’s Drawings. New York: Brunner/Mazel, INC. “The comprehensive combination of extensive knowledge of children’s drawings” brought to the reader in this volume is just that: comprehensive and extensive. Di Leo puts forth a coherent and intriguing volume of psychological backgrounds and interpretations of actual children’s’ drawings. Di Leo connects the meaning of the drawings with respect to gender differences, emotional disorders, and cognitive development.

Goodenough, F. L. (1956). Exceptional Children. New York: Appleton-Century-Crofts, Inc. In this text, Goodenough explores different types of “exceptional children” and their different levels of intelligence. The children discussed range from those of above average intelligence to those with physical and/or mental disabilities and their intellectual levels. The “intellectual inadequacy” of these children is explored with regard to their role in the home, school, and community.

Goodenough, F. L. (1926). Measurement of Intelligence by Drawings. Yonkers-on- Hudson: World Book Company. Goodenough discusses the historical background, results, and interpretations of her breakthrough drawing test. She describes the test and its predecessors, in detail, followed by the procedure and scoring directions. Goodenough also touches on differences in test results from “normal” children from those of “backwards” or mentally disabled children which she fully explores in Exceptional Children.

Klepsch, M., Logie, L. (1982). Children Draw and Tell. New York: Brunner/Mazel, INC. Similar to Di Leo, this volume presents clear historical background and psychological analyses of children’s drawings for the purpose of emphasizing that all “behaviors” can be reflected in a child’s drawing.

Munsinger, H. (1971). Fundamentals of Child Development. New York: Holt, Rinehart, and Winston. Munsinger’s book offers the double purpose as teaching aid for teachers as well as students. This volume follows the development of a child chronologically, discussing the child as both an “individual” and an “interacting” child. Perceptual development, learning development, and stages of children’s thought are fully explored. Munsinger also emphasizes on early childhood relationships and influences.

Weiss, Adrian. Florence Goodenough 1886-1959. Retrieved October 31, 2004, from http://www.webster.edu/~woolflm/goodenough.html Weiss, from Webster University, neatly outlines key events and happenings in Goodenough’s life. He also lists a number of interesting facts and anecdotes about Goodenough’s career as a pioneer to the world of child psychology.

Retrieved October 31, 2004, from http://psychology.okstate.edu/museum/women/gi- go.html The author of this short biography of Goodenough presents the information in a very simple, bulleted fashion. Much, if not all, of the information coincides with Weiss’ biography. From this webpage I also retrieved a lovely picture of Goodenough.

Retrieved November 1, 2004, from http://www.indiana.edu/~intell/goodenough.shtml The author presents more information on the Draw-a-Man test than the other online texts I found. The information is broken up very neatly and clearly and even includes a list of Goodenough’s publications. There are several links on this page that lead to other websites with information about Goodenough and her work. The information found here coincides with all the other information collected from various sources about Goodenough, her life and work.
