As an alternative to dominant cognitive-constructivist approaches to educational technology, this article makes the case for what has been termed a discursive, or postcognitive, psychological research paradigm. It does so by adapting discursive psychological analyses of conversational activity to the study of educational technology use. It applies…

The main purpose of the present work was to bring together methods that had generated different patterns of results in order to determine whether those differences would persist if the same subjects were performing the two types of tasks. (Author)

Investigates the differences between rehearsal span and memory span and evaluates the research of Dalrymple-Alford (1967) on the part of rehearsal on reinforcing memory traces. (Author/RK)

The present research was designed to investigate the relationship between binary units of information and the subjective use made of them. (Author)

Article tackled the problem of ambiguous and conflicting information about what sensitivity training is, what its effects are, and who is qualified to lead such groups. (Author/RK)

Mixed lists of digit pairs and consonant pairs were presented under Sternberg's scanning paradigm. The results indicated that the subjects partitioned this material into discriminable subsets but apparently only used that structure to reduce response latency when the test probes were negative. Probe familiarity is discussed as a basis for this…

Discusses a number of issues that bear on the scientific usefulness of sentence verification models. These models explain how information from a sentence is compared to its referent. (Editor)

An examination of previous claims for virtually perfect time-sharing in dual-task situations reveals confounding effects that may have obscured dual-task interference. Two experiments are conducted in which these confounding effects are minimized, revealing statistically significant dual-task interference. These results support the hypothesis that…

Attempts to apply a chronometric analysis to the tendency of the visual modality to dominate conscious judgments about the presence and location of objects. (Author/RK)

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of amount of information and number of judgments required of subjects upon information order effects in recruitment interview decisions. (Author)

Control of the mechanisms of memory may eventually come to pass, thanks to ingenious new research with goldfish and rats. (Editor)

By implanting wires in the brain and stimulating it electrically, a Madrid scientist is hoping to perfect a means for therapeutic control of aberrant human behavior. (Editor)

The operation of a covert information processing mechanism was investigated in two experiments of the self-persuasion phenomena; i. e., making an inference about a stimulus on the basis of one's past behavior. (Editor)

Some task variables that influence sentence coding, and the ways in which those influences appear to be manifested in performance were outlined. Trends in empirical data were examined as evidence for two classes of coding strategies. (Author/RK)

Three experiments are reported that were designed to delineate the properties of the stimulus encoding stage in reaction time tasks of varying stimulus-response compatibility. (Editor)
