This dissertation report, stemming from research and curriculum development activities of the Anthropology Curriculum Project, investigates the facilitative effects of pre-organizers, post-organizers, and no-organizers on the learning of anthropological concepts in the third grade. The investigation was an outgrowth of interest in Ausubel's theory…

Anderson, Dennis L. – 1972
An examination of models which have been employed in making predictions about the interference effect is made. It is pointed out that investigators mainly have relied upon the paired-associate model borrowed from classical studies in the field of verbal learning. This basic paradigm, represented as A-B, A-C, A-B, has produced fairly consistent…

GAGNE, ROBERT M.; AND OTHERS – 1965
TWO DIFFERENT USES OF VISUAL REPRESENTATIONS FOR SCIENCE INSTRUCTION WERE INVESTIGATED. THE FIRST STUDY EXAMINED THE HYPOTHESIS THAT USE OF PICTORIAL INSTRUCTION WOULD PRODUCE HIGHER CORRELATION BETWEEN RESULTS OF VISUAL APTITUDE TESTS AND LEARNING TESTS, AND THAT VERBAL INSTRUCTION WOULD PRODUCE HIGHER CORRELATION BETWEEN RESULTS OF VERBAL…

Baron, Naomi S. – 1976
This paper explores the questions of how and why children learn names for things. The acquisition of reference is set within a broader discussion of linguistic representation, which defines language as a system functioning in a three-way relationship among the individual language user, the world of experience, and the social community. It is…

Peer reviewedStasz, Cathleen; Thorndyke, Perry W. – Cognitive Psychology, 1980
Two experiments investigated learners' procedures in acquiring knowledge from maps. The better learners used successful techniques for encoding spatial information, evaluating their progress, focusing attention on unlearned information, and partitioning the map by spatial region or concept. Visual memory ability was also important. (Author/GDC)

MAY, MARK A. – 1965
THE MERITS OF VISUAL AND AUDITORY STIMULI AT EACH STAGE OF THE LEARNING PROCESS WERE PRESENTED IN THIS WORKING PAPER. SPECIAL ATTENTION WAS GIVEN TO THE DIFFERENCES IN RESPONSES REQUIRED AT EACH STAGE AND THEIR CONTROL BY THE NATURE OF THE LEARNING TASK. THE PROBLEM WAS APPROACHED BY A CONSIDERATION OF THE BASIC PROPERTIES OF WORDS AND PICTURES…

Eriksen, Charles W. – 1965
Research on learning and conditioning suggests that verbal response modification does not occur in the absence of the subject's ability to define verbally (1) the response-reinforcement relationships and (2) his intention to change his behavior in the direction of reinforcement. This seems to be true for operant conditioning of verbal behavior,…
