A test of cueing in relation to recall using five cueing systems in combination with three topical areas. (CH)

This paper describes a delayed response experiment which tested children's memory for the location of a hidden object. Eight boys and eight girls at each of two age levels (25 and 37 months) were assigned to each of four experimental conditions and given eight trials in a 9-choice task. On each trial the child saw the object hidden in one of nine…

Article expressed the view that the buildup and release from proactive inhibition effects in the Brown-Peterson paradigm could be interpreted in terms of the cue-overload principle. (Author/RK)

The objective of this article was to describe and discuss one possible approach to the problem of specifying properties of memory traces. (Author/RK)

Examined the effects of two levels of causality (intentional-accidental), outcome quality (good-bad), and affected object (human being-physical object) on the evaluations of acts and actors and the related response latencies. Four age groups of 128 children (5-11 years) were studied, using eight stories and two 4-point scales of good-bad and…

This investigation examined the effects of a variety of cue criterion function forms and attempted to evaluate the contribution of the factors just named, i.e., the response consistency of subjects, detection of task linearity, and the detection of task nonlinearity, to observed differences in learning. (Author/RK)

A training program, using dual trainers, was used to reduce inappropriate verbalizations and increase appropriate verbal responses of three profoundly handicapped individuals. During training, one trainer asked questions and the other trainer gave verbal prompts. The method was evaluated with three experiments: Experiment I used dual trainers with…

The study examined the development of perspective taking skills in 44 learning disabled (LD) and 44 nonLD children (9 to 12 years old). Each child was administered three tasks designed to assess the ability to judge the affective, perceptual, and cognitive perspective of others. Results indicated that LD children scored significantly lower than…

Use of contextual cues in language comprehension by hearing impaired persons is considered in two sections. The first section summarizes a study of how 21 hard of hearing children (7-12 years old) used contextual cues to identify words in sentences heard from a tape recorder. Results are explained to indicate that identification of words on the…

"Mapping" is a note-taking technique by which students use visual cues to isolate, emphasize, and group information meaningfully. Features of this technique include: organizing the note page laterally, so that general topics are on the left side and supportive information is on the right side; separating topics by horizontal lines;…

In this study of errorless learning a procedure is tested which allows the subject himself to adjust the speed at which a supplementary stimulus aid is withdrawn. A standard match-to-sample apparatus with 1 sample window above and 4 matching (response) windows below was used. Tokens were delivered for correct responses and the correct matching…

In three experiments using a single-trial, free-recall procedure, subjects were sometimes presented a forget cue during a list, meaning that they were not responsible for recalling any of the words which preceded it, only those which followed it. Since the primacy effect over the functional beginning of such lists was not diminished, the proactive…

A study was undertaken to test the assumption that students will interact with illustrations in textbooks, workbooks, and programed units; and that this interaction will facilitate learning. Eight test groups were compared with a group that had only verbal symbols to learn from. These groups had, in addition to the verbal descriptions, the black…

The results of two matching-to-sample experiments using color cues in Consonant Vowel Consonant (CVC) stimulus words with kindergarten through third grade subjects are included in this document. Color cues influenced subjects to match according to first letters. When the first letter of each stimulus word was underlined in red, kindergarten and…
