Russo, Natalie; Flanagan, Tara; Iarocci, Grace; Berringer, Darlene; Zelazo, Philip David; Burack, Jacob A. – Brain and Cognition, 2007
Individuals with autism demonstrate impairments on measures of executive function (EF) relative to typically developing comparison participants. EF is comprised of several processes including inhibition, working memory and set shifting that develop throughout the lifespan. Impairments in EF may appear early in development and persist, or may…

Torgesen, Joseph K. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1986
Fundamental assumptions concerning the cause of learning disabilities are described and criticized. At a broader level, research and theory in three different paradigms are discussed: (1) neuropsychological; (2) information processing; and (3) applied behavior analysis. Four recommendations for future progress in the conceptualization and…

Lillard, Angeline – Child Development, 2006
Although dissociations in children's responses are sometimes about "getting it right" for an experimenter, they might also often reflect differences between conscious and subconscious processing that are not geared to correct performance. Research with adults also reveals many cases of dissociation, and adults can more easily be subjected to…

Lovie, A. D. – British Journal of Psychology, 1983
Investigates the modern truism that cognition was almost completely suppressed by Watsonian behaviorism and its offspring during the first half of this century. Examined abstracting journals for the period 1910-1960, and relevant reviews over this period. Results provided no support for the triumph of behaviorism. (JAC)

Ryder, Joan M.; Redding, Richard E. – Educational Technology, Research and Development, 1993
Discussion of instructional systems development (ISD) focuses on recent developments in cognitive task analysis and describes the Integrated Task Analysis Model, a framework for integrating cognitive and behavioral task analysis methods within the ISD model. Three components of expertise are analyzed: skills, knowledge, and mental models. (96…

Cooper, Lynn A. – 1983
Considerable discussion and debate have been devoted to the extent and nature of structural or functional correspondence between internal representations and their external visual counterparts. An analogue representation or process is one in which the relational structure of external events is preserved in the corresponding internal…

Sternberg, Robert J. – American Psychologist, 1979
Mental abilities can be analyzed at four levels: composite tasks, subtasks, components, and metacomponents. Each level of analysis reveals something about the structure and content of mental abilities responsible for intelligent performance. (Author/WI)

Weingartner, Charles – ETC: A Review of General Semantics, 1979
Discusses differences between the primary functions of the cerebral hemispheres, notes differences between conscious and subconscious responses of subjects in several research studies, and stresses the need for a whole series of questions (so far largely unasked) about how unconscious meanings are made from media. (GT)

Wartella, Ellen; And Others – American Behavioral Scientist, 1979
A review of research findings examines how children up to age 12 use media, especially television, and presents theoretical accounts of the functions media serve during childhood. (Author/KC)

Haith, Marshall M. – 1991
Goals and challenges pertaining to infant sensory and perceptual development are discussed. It is suggested that the inability of researchers to think and talk wisely about "partial accomplishments" in development creates a barrier in developmental research. Conceptual schemes are needed to accommodate these partial accomplishments. Three major…

Avery, Robert K. – American Behavioral Scientist, 1979
The article summarizes the developmental processes of adolescents (age 12-18) and reviews literature concerning the adolescent's use of television, newspapers, periodicals, records, and radio. (KC)

Wilkinson, Krista M.; And Others – Developmental Review, 1996
Notes that psycholinguists have studied "fast mapping," and behavior analysts have studied the phenomenon of"learning by exclusion." Reviews the research protocols, questions, and outcomes of these two research lines to show their clear similarities, to support the argument that both disciplines are studying a single…

Stromer, Robert; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1996
This review of research discusses how children with autism may acquire equivalence classes after learning to supply a common oral name to each stimulus in a potential class. A proposed methodology for researching referent naming and class formation, analysis of stimulus classes, and generalization is offered. (CR)

Lindlof, Thomas R. – 1980
The similarities between television viewing and fantasy activity (daydreaming, reverie, mind-wandering, internal dialogue) more than warrant the building of a theoretical construct, especially in the context of recent empirical research on television viewing consequences. A construct of the television viewing process, based on cognitive theories…

Cook, Donald A. – Educational Technology, 1993
Reviews basic ideas presented in this special issue on the evolution of behaviorism. Topics addressed include stimulus and response; research with animals; applications to education and training; human motivation; theory through computer programs; experimental analysis of behavior; behaviorism moving into other disciplines; cognitive…
