This paper addresses the use of Excel tables to convey information to blind students that would otherwise be presented using graphical tools, such as Data Flow Diagrams. These tables can supplement diagrams in the classroom when introducing their use to understand the scope of a system and its main sub-processes, on exams when answering questions…

This study examined relationships between reading comprehension, known predictors of reading comprehension (i.e., cognitive flexibility, fluency, reading motivation and attitude, vocabulary), and graphical device comprehension. One-hundred fifty-six third graders completed assessments of known predictor variables and an assessment tapping…

This paper describes some of the more spectacular range effects reported in the literature. (Author)

Subjects were required to predict a recurring three-element binary pattern (RLL) under continuous reinforcement or under partial reinforcement on a variable-ratio schedule. (Editor)

The experiments reported below attempted to reduce the availability of the A-C pairs and the dominance of the set of C responses to determine whether this would increase the subjects' access to the A-B pairs. (Author)

The experiment reported here evaluated the effectiveness of a mnemonic procedure, the keyword method, for learning a foreign language vocabulary. (Editor)

A probe-recognition short-term memory paradigm was used to inquire into the precise effects of sleep deprivation on human memory. (Editor)

The present study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that aggressive offenders have a greater amount of theta activity in their electrocortical rhythms than nonaggressive offenders, and also to examine the more general question of whether such individuals are cortically underaroused, underreactive, or more easily dearoused. (Author)

The primary purpose of this article is to describe, justify, and elaborate a preliminary quantitative model for a subset of the letter-identification process. (Author)

The present experiment was intended as a further elaboration of the effects of nonphysically aversive stimulation on subsequent performance, in order to determine the applicability of the helplessness model to the human subject. (Author)

An attempt was made to uncover dysfunctions in any of the mechanisms in selective attention, as well as any unusual allocation policy, which possibly exist in schizophrenia. (Author/RK)

A model for inferential accuracy in clinical judgments was proposed in which two major processes, sensitivity and threshold, was hypothesized. (Editor/RK)

Rat received conditioning based upon a food unconditioned stimulus and then received manipulations designed to reduce the value of that food. The effects of these manipulations were assessed during extinction tests of the conditioned stimuli. (Editor/RK)

Earlier reports of the pain of putting hand and forearm in circulating ice water were recomputed to study how subjects scale that pain and to find appropriate measures of its reduction under hypnotic analgesia. (Editor)

The study compared multiple-list transfer (from three training lists) and single-list transfer (from one training list), with total amount of training held constant (at 3, 12, or 36 trials) and with each A-B' and A'-B training list at the same level of similarity to the transfer list. (Editor)
