Explains a technique whereby a large data base may be automatically classified into maximally connected clusters called cliques. The data base used is a section of United States patents. (Author/ MBR)

A diagrammatic climate key is presented as an attempt to simplify the teaching of climate classification. The chart emphasizes four critical temperatures in the Koppen classification and shows their relationships to various climate types. (Author)

A look at behavioral objectives in a general setting combined with a discussion of some of the aspects of behavioral objectives as interpreted in mathematics and some practical lessons on objective writing were the focus of this paper. (Author/RK)

This study uses two methods of analysis to examine the degree to which items within the cells of the Hill Interaction Matrix correlate. It is found that the table of specifications does not hold up. But the author recommends caution in interpreting this finding. (Author/BP)

Meyer found subjects were faster to determine if a stimulus word was a member of either of two prespecified categories if the categories were close in meaning. A reanalysis of the data favors instead a model emphasizing the role of decision-making processes in categorization and flexibility of task strategies. (CHK)

Discusses general aspects of nomenclature for functional derivatives of the inorganic oxo acids. (SL)

Presents a conceptual framework for classifying and evaluating different comparative advertising formats on two multi-level dimensions. Provides examples of applicable research questions. (RL)

Bloom's work on the taxonomy of educational objectives has been used by the Association of Indian Universities in conducting workshops and seminars on question-banking organized by several universities in India. An experimental application in a professional development course is described briefly. (LBH)

Discusses the nomenclature of functional derivatives of organic and inorganic oxo acids. Also introduces a pattern of nomenclature called insertion or infix nomenclature. (SL)

Development of the relation between skills of visual and auditory pattern classification was studied at the second grade, sixth grade, and adult age levels using visual and auditory representations of the same abstract information. Results showed evidence of common processing of pattern class structure for the modalities, patterns, prototypes, and…

A study of 1,423 respondents in northwest Wisconsin shows that age, education, and place of residence appear to account for the variation in environmental concern, with no significant remaining effect accounted for by any of the types of recreation considered by Dunlap and Heffernan in their 1975 study. (Author/JC)

The author argues that by ignoring evolutionary considerations, the intelligence testing movement has precluded continued development, and in order to regain momentum it must engage in theoretical and empirical research to accommodate those considerations. (MB)

This study examined first graders' use of strategic behavior (looking more during study and categorizing during study) in response to perceiving instructions versus remembering instructions. (BRT)

Among the phenomena covered are superstitious behavior, learned helplessness, experimental neurosis, anaclitic depression as a result of maternal separation, and physiological disturbances such as ulceration. (Author/AM)
