A reinforcement schedule and spatial titration method were used to determine task-reinforcement area separation most preferred and effective in two third-grade boys. Errors in task performance decreased task-reinforcement area separation, while correct responses in task performance increased task-reinforcement area separation. (Author)

Data confirmed Kukla's attributional theory of performance. When a task is perceived to be difficult, high resultant achievers perform better than low resultant achievers, whereas the low motive group proves to be superior to the high group when the task is perceived as easy. (Author/RK)

The deficit in counting ability was examined through assessment of counting and tracking task performances of 18 adolescent educable mentally retarded (EMR) boys and through comparision of performances of 20 EMR boys and 20 younger normal boys. (Author/MC)

Discusses the use of a multi-media and task-oriented program to conduct team teaching of Harvard Project Physics in Telstar Regional High School where the flexible modular schedule has been adopted. Indicates that the program attracts student interest and results in the increase of physics enrollment. (CC)

An interaction process analysis was designed to record the task-oriented and social behavior of five learning disabled (LD) and five normal children in third grade classrooms and of only the LD children in sessions with the LD specialist. (MC)

Job satisfaction ratings-defined as the product (Importance) X (what job should offer, what job actually offers) on 29 job dimensions were factor analyzed for two large samples of management--level males. An identical analysis was conducted on the perceived discrepancy score alone. While the importance weighted measure is more elegant and…

Uni- and multidimensional processing of 6- to 9-year olds was studied using recall tasks in which an array of stimuli was reconstructed to match a model array. Results indicated that both age groups were able to solve multidimensional problems, but that solution rate was retarded by the unidimensional processing of highly salient dimensions.…

Containing three case studies, this article presents suggestions to teachers who wish to leave a favorable record when resigning from a teaching position. (SN)

Uncertainty scores of the type proposed in this study, if suitably refined, may measure the developmental progression from stereotyped reliance on individual syntactic forms to flexible utilization of productive rules. (Authors/CB)

Studies based on an analysis of one species of learning and transfer task, the transposition problem, in terms of two ways in which the experimenter's and the child's definition may differ. (Author)

Results are discussed in terms of the facilitory effect on waiting of the perception of a decrease in temporal distance from a goal. (Authors)

Describes music participation by children as an important facet of elementary music experiences. (RK)
