Two home economists take a dim view of task sharing as the way out for the employed homemaker. What is needed, the authors say, are educational programs in time management. Specifically, they suggest noon workshops--with the employer's blessings. (Editor/HD)

Data gathered from three Papua New Guinea samples on a range of tasks derived from the theoretical positions of Piaget and Bruner were analyzed at the level of individual language/culture groups. (Editor)

The locus of control of subjects may be the confounding variable affecting the acceptance of motivational cues in intentional-incidental (INT-INC) learning studies, and thus the reason for conflicting results in "funneling effect" (leaning toward intentional learning as a function of motivation) experiments. 96 female college students selected for…

Attempts to empirically verify the causal source and direction of causal influence between role ambiguity, role conflict and job satisfaction and performance for three organizational levels in a hospital environment. (Author/RK)

Shows that age or conceptual tempo are not related to the number of trials needed to reach the criteria for a learning task. Impulsive responders performed more poorly than groups of slow-inaccurate, fast-accurate, and reflective responders on the transfer of learning task. (RL)

Shows higher levels of creativity in relaxed-friendly or test-loke/high-noise-level conditions than in test-like/low-noise-level conditions. (RL)

Measures of attributes of leadership situations faced by department chairmen were theoretically and empirically related. Findings indicated that high task structure (faculty homogeneity and academic task structure) is associated with better member relations and greater cooperation on administrative matters. Implications for administrators are…

In this study, designed to explore the relationship between pleasure and cognitive challenge, 32 normal first grade children and 32 MA-matched familial mentally retarded children were given puzzles representing four difficulty levels. (Author/SB)

This research finds that the experience of time-in-passing is an inverse function of the processing demanded by a concurrent task. An attentional model is suggested and evaluated against the literature. (Editor/RK)

Twenty severely retarded adults performed on the pursuit rotor apparatus in a study of the relationship between intelligence and motor task complexity. (CL)

These experiments consider the effects of aging on response times to stimuli of increasing complexity in serial choice RT tasks, whether age differences were reduced or abolished on such tasks, and examines repetition effects of a particular coding rule. (Author/RK)

Describes a study conducted to determine the individual and interaction effects of locus of control and anxiety on work task performance of educable mentally retarded adolescents. (TA)

Reports on the verbal output of 20 pairs of high-school boys who communicated through four modes: voice, handwriting, typewriting, and face-to-face with an option to use other modes. (KS)
