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)

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)

Examines, within a single experiment, whether the conditions exist for drawing a valid inference about the possibility of a word losing its meaning through either visual satiation or visual "and" verbal satiation. Evaluates research by Fillenbaum (1964) and Esposito and Pelton (1969). (Author/RK)

The purpose of this study is to apply an information-processing approach to risky decision judgments using the theory of information integration (Anderson, 1974; Anderson & Shanteau, 1970). (Author)

Experiment dealt with selecting political candidates. Results provide some limited support for the hypothesized importance of matching information presentation formats to decision-making strategies. However, the most effective pattern of matching turned out to be in the opposite direction of the prediction. Discusses methodological issues. (PD)

Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the P300 component of the human evoked response as an index of bisensory information processing. Data shows that the P300 promises to be a valuable tool for assessing brain processes during complex decision making. (Editor/RK)

The production of informationally redundant choices in a selection concept attainment task was investigated in relation to age and intelligence, using 62 adolescents aged 12:7--15:6 drawn from the lower middle ability range of a comprehensive school. (Editor)

Most research on information utilization in judgment and decision making has followed two basic approaches: "regression" and "Bayesian." Each has characteristic tasks and characteristic information that must be processed to accomplish these tasks. There has been a tendency to work within a single approach with minimal communication between the…

This report presents results of research conducted in 1982 on the management of student information in Ontario. Amendments in 1982 to the Education Act, referred to as "Bill 82," mandated maintenance of student information and documentation of certain decision-making processes. The study examines the bill's legal implications and…
