Jordan, Michael I. – 1986
Human behavior shows a variety of serially ordered action sequences. This paper presents a theory of serial order which describes how sequences of actions might be learned and performed. In this theory, parallel interactions across time (coarticulation) and parallel interactions across space (dual-task interference) are viewed as two aspects of a…

Davis, Robert B. – 1983
The ideas and techniques involved in learning about fractions were investigated with students in grades 1-12, in the first 3 years of colleges, in community college mathematics courses, and in graduate school. Also included were some high school mathematics teachers, some mathematicians, and some retired persons. Part I provides the rationale and…

van der Linden, Wim J.; Adema, Jos J. – 1988
Two optimalization models for the construction of tests with a maximal value of coefficient alpha are given. Both models have a linear form and can be solved by using a branch-and-bound algorithm. The first model assumes an item bank calibrated under the Rasch model and can be used, for instance, when classical test theory has to serve as an…

Mack, Nancy K. – 1988
Eight sixth-grade students received individualized instruction on the addition and subtraction of fractions in a one-to-one setting for 6 weeks. Instruction was specifically designed to build upon the student's prior knowledge of fractions. It was determined that all students possessed a rich store of prior knowledge about parts of wholes in real…

Skaggs, Gary; Stevenson, Jose – 1986
This study assesses the accuracy of ASCAL, a microcomputer-based program for estimating item parameters for the three-parameter logistic model in item response theory. Item responses are generated from a three-parameter model, and item parameter estimates from ASCAL are compared to the generating item parameters and to estimates produced by…

Van Passel, F. J. A. – ITL Review of Applied Linguistics, 1974
Shows the necessity of foreign language education for cognitive and attitudinal purposes as well as for utilitarian reasons. Foreign language learning/teaching can be of great educational value when it follows the thread of the logical and psychological steps in the creative/discovery procedure. A learning algorithm is mapped on page 61. See FL…

Jones, D. A. – Mathematics in School, 1975
Basic computational problems admit several different solution algorithms. A student's choice of method may be related to personal characteristics which also bear on his ability to learn other mathematical techniques and theories. (SD)

Shaffer, Warren F.; Penwarden, Jeffry R. – 1981
Twenty-two junior, senior, and graduate students from an introductory counseling class for nonmajors were introduced to the verbal psychotherapies, and randomly divided into treatment and control groups. The groups were treated identically and received the usual instructional program except for the treatment group receiving 30 minutes of…

Gilpin, John B. – 1980
This document is intended as a resource for persons using, designing, or evaluating instructional materials in whole number subtraction. Its purpose is to provide conceptual machinery: (1) for describing/specifying subtraction tests and exercises and (2) for formulating related questions and conjectures. It is mainly a logical analysis subject to…

Arms, William Y.; Arms, Caroline – 1977
This report describes research carried out as part of the Design of Information Systems in the Social Sciences (DISISS) project. Cluster analysis techniques were applied to a machine readable file of bibliographic data in the form of cited journal titles in order to identify groupings which could be used to structure bibliographic files. Practical…

Feghali, Issa – 1980
This study investigated the relationship between the level of conservation of displaced volume and the degree to which sixth graders learn the volume algorithm of a cuboid, i.e., volume = length x width x height (v = l x w x h). The problem is a consequence of an apparent discrepancy between the present school programs and the theory of Piaget…

SHAPOVALENKO, S.G. – 1964
DEVELOPMENT OF NON-MACHINE PROGRAMED INSTRUCTION ACCORDING TO STATE-SPECIFIED EDUCATIONAL GOALS AND TRADITIONAL PSYCHOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES WILL ALLOW EFFICIENT, INDEPENDENT, CONTROLLED LEARNING, BUT MUST BE USED IN COMBINATION WITH CONVENTIONAL INSTRUCTION TO FORTIFY IN PUPILS THE FEELING OF COLLECTIVISM. EXPERIMENTAL WORK WITH SEVENTH GRADE SHOWS…

Joint Publications Research Service, Washington, DC. – 1963
IN THIS COLLECTION OF THREE ARTICLES, THESE TOPICS ARE COVERED--FOREIGN LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION, TEACHING ALGORITHMS, AND LITERATURE ON PROGRAMED TEACHING. IN THE FIRST STUDY, PROGRAMED LANGUAGE EXERCISES WERE GIVEN IN LANGUAGE LABORATORIES TO HIGH LANGUAGE ABILITY STUDENTS TO TEST THEIR SKILL AT INDEPENDENT WORK. ALTHOUGH THE SMALL EXPERIMENTAL AND…

Borko, Harold; And Others – 1968
Experiments were performed to determine the feasibility of using ALCAPP as one form of on-line dialogue. Assuming the ALCAPP (Automatic List Classification and Profile Production) system is in an on-line mode, investigations of those parameters which could affect its stability and reliability were conducted. Fifty-two full test documents were used…

Connelly, Edward M.; And Others – 1974
This report documents the theory, structure, and implementation of a performance processor (written in FORTRAN IV) that can accept performance demonstration data representing various levels of operator's skill and, under user control, analyze data to provide candidate performance measures and validation test results. The processor accepts two…
