This article describes a collaborative project across three institutions to develop, implement, and evaluate a series of tutorials and case studies that highlight fundamental tools of data science--such as visualization, data manipulation, and database usage--that instructors at a wide-range of institutions can incorporate into existing statistics…

A theoretical model for estimating the effects of age and incentive on children's performance in probability learning is introduced. Novel predictions of the model about the effects of combinations of age and incentive were tested and confirmed. (Editor/RK)

A confluence model is developed that explains the effects of birth order and family size on intelligence. (Editor)

Similarity of impairment in naturally occurring depression and laboratory-induced, learned helplessness was demonstrated in college students. (Editor)

THIS NOTE IS CONCERNED WITH IDEAS AND PROBLEMS INVOLVED IN CROSS-CLASSIFICATION OF OBSERVATIONS ON A GIVEN POPULATION, ESPECIALLY TWO-DIMENSIONAL CROSS-CLASSIFICATIONS. MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE NOTE INCLUDE--(1) ESTABLISHMENT OF A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR CHARACTERIZATION AND COMPARISON OF CROSS-CLASSIFICATIONS, (2) DISCUSSION OF EXISTING METHODS…

This paper presents a theoretical account of certain aspects of sentence comprehension, particulary the processes involved in deciding if a sentence is true or false. (Editor)

Author presented a six-point model for purposes of diagnosing program success or lack of success. (Editor/RK)

A previously proposed model for memory based on neurophysiological considerations is reviewed. It is extended by introducing positive feedback of a set of neurons onto itself and allowing the neurons to saturate. The resulting model is analyzed by distinctive features, categorical perception, and as it applies to probability learning. (Editor/RK)

In an experiment on the effects of blank trials on probability learning, some informational parameters were varied. The results showed that the presence of blank trials shifted response probabilities toward the guessing level. Data from other experiments are considered, and the relevance of the results to studies of behavior with concurrent…

Presents a model which suggests experiments that may be relevant for some of the real-life problems society currently faces. Extending the generality of the model may provide valuable insights into the underlying processes which facilitate or inhibit the development of cooperative behavior. (Author/RK)

Argues that the proceduralization of linguistic knowledge is the most important factor in the development of fluency in advanced second-language learners. Experimental results indicate that learners become more fluent (as measured by speaking rate) after a period of residence abroad. It is concluded that quantitative and qualitative evidence…

A project was conducted to develop a series of studies that will enable one to measure attitudes with reasonable accuracy. Nine stages of project activity were identified: design optical scanning form; write computer program to analyze data; determine adjective pairs; factor scales on elementary pupils; factor scales on high school students and…

The present experiment was designed to provide a test of observational learning (acquisition) and broad imitative behavior (performance) following exposure to models who were controllers or rival consumers of resources. (Author)

This article reports the development of a mathematics course using the mastery learning model and a study of the relationship between learning rate and verbal and quantitative aptitudes. (Author)

Describes alternative theoretical positions regarding (a) the component information processes used in analogical reasoning and (b) strategies for combining these processes. Also presents results from three experiments on analogical reasoning. (Author/RK)
