Low-cost devices have widened the use of multimodal data in experiments providing a more complete picture of behavioural effects. However, the accurate collection and combination of multimodal and behavioural data in a manner that enables reproducibility is challenging and often requires researchers to refine their approaches. This paper presents…

The present study sought to investigate the influence different or mixed allographic presentations would have on sight word reading achievement of fourth grade pupils. As well it considered whether word identification is based on a process reaction to letter cues or word form cues. (Author/RK)

Attempts to determine objectively, by means of a word list containing specific sexual terms, which aspects of sex most interest young adolescents, and how the females and males differ in their interests. (Author/RK)

The purpose of this study was to compare students' tested recognition of the Dolch 220 words with their responses to the 200 highest frequency words found by Kucera and Francis in their Computational Analysis of Present-Day American English (1967). (Author)

Subjects learned lists of words under conditions of high, medium, or low expectations concerning test-phase cheating and were then tested for recall with cheating precluded. Test performance of subjects expecting to be able to cheat was unexpectedly better, rather than worse, than subjects with low expectations, even when cheating was precluded.…

In an effort to determine whether the Dolch list of basic sight words continues to reflect the majority of the words in basic readers, this study was undertaken to calculate the percentage of Dolch words in four basic reader programs published since 1970. This would make it possible to decide whether the Dolch list is still viable for recently…

Similarities were noted between techniques used in a new curriculum method, "Structural Communication," and research techniques used to study the relationship between "subjective organization" and recall of word lists. To explore these similarities, 8 groups of 24 high school students read instruction units under different…

A simply constructed, psychometrically sound testing procedure which enables the instructor to assess higher cognitive process with respect to the material in questions, and which is amenable to machine scoring, is described. It involves the application of the word association technique long used in psychoanalysis to the classroom setting. The…

A five-year program of research in adult learning is reported upon. One purpose of this program was to determine age differences in cognitive abilities, with special reference to items selected as suitable for adults of different ages, to survey the educational backgrounds and skills that older and younger adults bring to learning situations, and…
