ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY IS A SYSTEM IN WHICH INSTRUCTORS MAY IDENTIFY RELEVANT AUDIENCE CHARACTERISTICS AND THEN DESIGN A PROGRAM TO OPTIMIZE LEARNING. MULTIPLE REGRESSION, FACTOR ANALYSIS, AND CROSS-VALIDATING PROCEDURES WERE USED TO ASSESS THE IMMEDIATE AND DELAYED LEARNING EFFECTS OF PROGRAMMED INSTRUCTION. INDEPENDENT VARIABLES…

Programing methods and response modes were investigated to determine effective training methods. The identification and pronunciation of phonetic symbols were taught using two different methods of programing (prompting and confirmation) and two methods of response (overt and covert). Achievement was measured on both a multiple choice test and a…

Guthrie, John T. – 1970
The theoretical functions of external feedback in SR and closed loop models of verbal learning are presented. Contradictory predictions from the models are tested with a three by three factorial experiment including three types of feedback and three amounts of rehearsal. There were 90 adult students run individually and they were required to learn…

Chastain, Kenneth – 1970
Implications of the behaviorist and cognitive theories in language instruction are discussed in this article. Some contributions of Skinner, Politzer, Valette, Morton, Lane, and Mueller and Niedzielski clarify the behaviorists' view of language as a myriad of conditioned responses. In turn, the cognitive viewpoint, seen as the acquisiton and…

Seitz, Sue; Goulding, Peggy – 1968
The effects of prompting and confirmation on automated presentation of materials in discrimination learning were studied. Eight pairs of words or pictures were presented to 48 mentally retarded subjects (mean IQ 63, mean chronological age 163.4 months, mean mental age 103.3 months). Each subject's correct responses advanced the program and, in the…
