In this paper, Simon describes contemporary information processing approaches to the study of learning and thinking, and discusses the relevance of these studies to the distinction between rote and meaningful learning. Before defining the basic terminology of information processing research, he provides a brief literature review, describing some…

Areas of concern with respect to processing, storage, and output requirements of a generalized information processing system are considered. Special emphasis is placed on multiple-access systems. Problems of system management and control are discussed, including hierarchies of storage levels. Facsimile, digital, and mass random access storage…

Discusses a study which investigated whether a computer simulation model could suggest subroutines that were instructable and whether instruction on these subroutines could facilitate subjects' solutions to the problem task. (JM)

REGRESSION ANALYSIS, DISCRIMINANT ANALYSIS, AND A COMBINATION OF THESE STATISTICAL MODELS CANNOT PROVIDE INFORMATION APPROPRIATE TO INDIVIDUAL CAREER CHOICE THROUGH VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE. THESE MODELS IGNORE INDIVIDUAL VARIANCE IN ASPIRATION LEVELS AND MEANINGFUL DIMENSIONS OF JOB SATISFACTION. CENTOUR ANALYSIS PROVIDES FOR BOTH THROUGH USE OF…
