This paper is an attempt to build a theoretical model which specifies the impact of certain cognitive variables on the process of political socialization. (Author)

Presents results of confirmatory factor analysis of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for children which is based on the underlying theoretical model of sequential, simultaneous, and achievement factors. Found support for the two-factor, simultaneous and sequential processing model. (MCF)

The topical review provides a general framework for understanding memory problems in reading disabled children by considering some factors that can influence memory performance, including the status of basic processing operations, use of appropriate control strategies, and richness of the knowledge base. Also examined is the relationship between…

Positive and negative features of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children are examined from an information processing perspective. The author suggests that the test should not be used in place of the Stanford-Binet or the Wechsler Intelligence Scale-Revised. (CL)

Four areas of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children are critically examined from an information processing perspective: theory, tests, scales and scores, and interpretation and educational applications. It is concluded that the promise of a marked improvement in intellectual assessment went unfulfilled. (Author/CL)

Author was concerned in the greater part of this paper with investigation the prior question of possibility, only at the end drawing some practical conclusions on whether we should or should not be teaching anything that might be called an ethics of belief. (Author)

Various human mental activities are examined, a theory of brain function presented, and the possible nature of the ultra-intelligent machine" suggested. Some of the social repercussions of such machines are briefly discussed. (AL)

Uses a Bruegel painting to illustrate the view that a child's I.Q., relative intelligence, and problem-solving abilities may relate directly to the number of games the child has mastered at the critical or sensitive periods of his or her life. (Author)

Two nonentrenched tasks are described, one requiring projection into the future of states of objects, the other requiring complex anological reasoning where multiple terms of analogies can be replaced by alternative answer options. Some speculations are made about the implications of these results for educational theory and practice. (Author/GK)

Information processing research offers a solution to the ambiguity of many concepts in cognitive psychology. The author's definition of intelligence and the structure-of-intellect model offer a systematic collection of rigorously and operationally defined concepts. New evidence for discriminability of the model categories and views of memory and…

In a discussion of intellectual giftedness, the author describes the main characteristics that differentiate information processing theories from psychometric theories. Interrelationships between components and factors are considered, and implications of the theory for the training of the gifted are pointed out. (SB)

Discusses the role of the teacher in helping children to develop their intelligence. (MKM)

Explored the relationship of inspection time (IT) and the personality domain of openness (O) to general intelligence ("g") and crystallized intelligence (Gc). Findings for 64 undergraduates support the independence of O from speed of information processing and from general ability. (SLD)
