Pairing a novel flavor with illness results in the conditioning of aversions to that flavor. This article reported a series of experiments examining the effect of several parameters of prior exposure to the illness on the acquisition of learned taste aversions. (Author/RK)

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

The present experiment was directed at establishing the empirical relations between re-pairing and degree of training, and between re-pairing and information about that re-pairing. (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)

This study was designed to investigate the effect of individual differences in habitually preferred number of categories (PNC) on the form and interpretation of the category-recall function. (Editor)

This experiment attempted to obtain an estimate of perceptual isolation effects when the isolated item was the only distinctive feature in the list and to obtain data on continuous serial learning in order that isolation and serial-position effects could be compared directly. (Author/RK)

A smooth program is defined to be one which is "go to"-free in the sense that it can be represented by a flowchart consisting only of concatenation, alternation, and interation elements. Three methods of eliminating the "go to" statement from a program have been proposed: (1) the introduction of additional Boolean variables or the equivalent…

Over 30 flow charts are presented and described in order to document in a readable form a set of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) strategies and tactics, most of which have evolved out of the six-year experience at the CAI Laboratory at Pennsylvania State University. Introductory information defines CAI, explains how to use the manual, and…

Process evaluation involves a considerable amount of informal and unscheduled reporting, but a flow diagram gives some structure and expectancy level for informal and unscheduled situations. (Author)

A successful management communication tool. (Author)

Although Tzeng (1973) and Bjork and Whitten (1974) have obtained positive recency effects in free recall using a procedure designed to eliminate any component of short-term storage, their procedures may not have truly cleared short-term storage. This experiment attempts to find whether positive recency would be obtained in a situation without any…

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has recently published its 1976-77 edition of "Education Directory, Colleges and Universities". This is the latest in a series of annual directories of institutions of higher education issued by this office. Discusses the diversity that exists in the sizes of American colleges and…

Decision flowcharts are efficient and effective training tools for librarians and library employees below the administrative level. In addition, the cost of training programs is reduced by the use of flowcharts. Training staff in the performance of routine procedures is particularly suited to the use of decision flowcharts.
