The compliance of Kikuyu children was very high, and was tentatively argued to be a concomitant of the child's participation in the household's economic activities. (DM)

The present study attempts to assess whether black children's evaluations of their own achievement efforts are indeed acquired in response to prior adult approval or disapproval. (Author)

The present study is based on a form of task analysis that explicates in detail the hypothesized solution behavior of skilled performers of the task. (Authors)

Results show that the theme of a story can be used as a mnemonic device to improve recall. To be effective, the theme must be available to S for encoding during input. (Authors)

In general, the large number of learners found in this study lends support to the assertion that children below five or six can learn problems requiring mediation. This suggests that their learning will have to be described by more complex models. (Author)

Purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that training the student to note the distinctive features of a stimulus during perceptual learning facilities the hook-up phase in a paired-associate task. (Author)

Purpose of this study was to determine whether or not the learning of simple musical performance skills would affect self-esteem in such boys who were described as having learning and behavior problems in their classrooms. (Authors/CB)

Study is an investigation of the effects of an attention-focusing variable--spatial separation of central and incidental cues--and a cognitive strategy factor--verbal labeling of central cues--and their interaction on the incidental learning of Ss younger than those previously tested with these manipulations. (Authors)

Results of the three experiments provided little evidence that the scores on associative matching were adversely affected by prior performance on any of the three modified free-recall tasks. (Authors)

The relevance of these findings to previous failures to find transfer and their implications for educational practice are discussed. (Authors)

Interpair acoustic and formal similarity are detrimental to verbal discrimination learning when manipulated individually; even larger performance decrements result when they are allowed to covary. (Authors)

Results of three experiments provided no substantial evidence of selective encoding. (Authors/MB)

Predictions for multidimensional generalization were derived from Hull-Spence learning theory, and an experiment is reported that was designed to test this aspect of the theory. Alternative to this analysis is presented in PS 502 062; authors respond in PS 502 063. (Authors/MB)

Article deals with an encoding variability view of retention. (Authors)
