This paper discusses the career of Henry Evelyn Bliss, founder of the Bibliographic Classification, which is currently being revised. Dissatisfied with the current classification systems, Bliss devised his own, which was based on a main class order that provided for collocation of related classes. Although not currently used in the United States,…

This paper describes a four-dimensional model for the science of knowledge acquisition and a classification system in terms of these dimensions. A summary of the state of the art in terms of the cells generated in a four-dimensional representation of this classification system is presented. The need for better tools for conducting knowledge…

Previous research has shown that 3- to 4-month-old infants form a global categorical representation for cats that includes female lions, whereas 6- to 7-month-old infants differentiate between cats and lions. Three experiments using familiarization-novelty preference procedures attempted to determine whether the differentiation of a global…

The importance of man's relationship to time has been widely recognized in psychology. However, ideas about how the subject should be defined and studied have varied greatly. To explore the phenomenological "experience of time", 20 white, middle class, mature, articulate adults (10 male, 10 female) participated in 1-hour semi-structured,…

Infants' responses to male and female faces and their preferences for happy versus fearful faces were studied to extend findings indicating that infants at 7 months can generalize discrimination between expressions of happiness and surprise across four different female models' faces. In the first experiment, a paired-comparison procedure was used…

The terms goals, objectives, and functions are differentiated and classified based on the particular meanings each term represents in the field of education. The importance of understanding the distinctions is emphasized. (EC)

A discussion of an experiment to determine if any relationships could be detected between college students' attitudes, demographic characteristics, and grades. (Author)

This study examined how well subjects of different ages were able to ignore the presence of irrelevant stimulus information. The speed of classification of 6-, 9- and 12-year-olds and adults was measured. Significant effects of age, sex, number of irrelevant dimensions, and relevant dimension on speed of classification were obtained. (GO)

Examines questions about reported findings that the natural number concept derives from a prior understanding of ordination rather than a prior understanding of cardination. (GO)

Author suggests a number of strategies for constructing a taxonomy that would take into account media, individual differences, and behaviors. (Author/HB)

Describes the slide classification system of the University of Michigan Art and Architecture Library. (PF)

Four systems for cataloging non-book learning aids are examined: AECT (formerly DAVI), LC, UCBLL, and RCAT. A table is given listing the order of cataloging elements, the size of each collection, the purpose, the medium (phonocords, magnetic tapes, etc.), the sources, the users, and the filing system. (SC)

A format account is given of the structure of conversational domains. A procedure is described which permits the construction of representations of the domains of tutorial conversations (knowledge structures) together with an account of the use of the procedure for structuring academic subject matters. (Author)

Was undertaken to review and organize factor analytic studies for: (1) defining fundamental dimensions of variation for selected behavioral domains, (2) investigating correlational hypotheses at the dimensional level, (3) providing empirically derived conceptual frameworks for organizing trends in applied factor analytic research. (Author/RC)

As automated scoring of complex constructed-response examinations reaches operational status, the process of evaluating the quality of resultant scores, particularly in contrast to scores of expert human graders, becomes as complex as the data itself. Using a vignette from the Architectural Registration Examination (ARE), this paper explores the…
