Subjects were given tests of visual memory using stimuli which were similar, but not identical, to those used in a subsequent paired-associate learning task. Scores on the visual memory and the paired-associate tasks were then used for analysis. (Author/RK)

This paper reports findings from an ongoing program of research aimed at the discovery of signals and the formation of rules relevant to the organization of two-person, face-to-face conversations. (Author)

Two experiments were conducted to examine the relationship between stress level and learned helplessness in human subjects. Experiment 1 subjected subjects to loud or moderate noise in order to induce differential stress. Experiment 2 was a partial replication of the first study using only loud noise. (Editor/RK)

The purpose of this report is to document the development of an index of behavioral consistency, time to completion, for use as a predictor of trainability. Also, a brief discussion is devoted to the use of the time to completion measure in the management of a training program. (Author/RK)

Recency judgments were examined for four groups (N = 40 per group) aged 7, 8, 10, and 18 years. The resulting data supported the hypothesis that tasks, which do not require deliberate mnemonic strategies, are not developmentally sensitive. (Editor/RK)

The visual imagery of kindergarten, third, and sixth graders was tested via a continuous visual recognition test in which subjects were to identify repeated pictures of familiar and nonsense objects. (Editor)

The implications of Piaget's theory of play were discussed in conjection with Wallach and Kogan's associative theory of creativity. (Editor)

Sixty children with mean age 5.10 years were studied. Each member of two groups of 20 nonconservers was given a different kind of verbal rule instruction that was focused on the conservation of discontinuous and continuous quantity. (Editor)

Elementary school children were exposed to a series of modeled, tape-recorded sentences; those containing nongrammatical prepositional constructions were always vicariously rewarded, while the remaining, grammatically correct, background sentences were not. (Editor)

A series of social interaction situations representing the four emotions of happy, afraid, sad, and angry were administered to 288 American children and 288 Chinese children. (Editor)

One hundred sixty sibling pairs from two child families were sampled for sibling interaction behaviors as they relate to measures of categorization style. The study provides additional evidence of the importance of a child's siblings to his cognitive development. (Editor/RK)

The effectiveness of a public nursery school program was evaluated using two comparision groups, those who had and had not attended nursery school and Title 1 and non-Title 1 children. (Author)
