Objective rules of sequencing were applied to elementary level instructional material to determine their effect on time, errors made during instruction, and posttest errors. Results are discussed in terms of the application of the rules to various types of instructional material. (Author/BJG)

Twenty-two college students in science education were given an adjunctive computer-assisted instruction (CAI) program by means of typewriter consoles and computer-controlled colored slide presentations of critical information. Students were pretested, told how to respond at the student console, taught by the Harvard CAI System, and posttested. The…

A mathematical model for computer-aided instruction has been developed. The assumption is made that the course is divided into a hierarchy of levels of difficulty and that if a student is able to perform successfully at a given level of difficulty, he can also perform successfully at all levels of lesser difficulty. Furthermore, if a student…

AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO ASSESS THE EFFECTS ON ADULT LEARNING OF DIFFERENTIALLY STRUCTURED INTRODUCTORY COGNITIVE LEARNING TASKS AND MATERIALS, AND THE INTERACTION OF INTELLIGENCE WITH THE EXPERIMENTALLY MANIPULATED MATERIAL AND TASK CATEGORIES. ABOUT 96 ADULTS WHO WERE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE CONCEPT OF NUMBER BASES WERE CLASSIFIED ACCORDING TO A 4X3X4…
