Oster, Harriet; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1992
Compared subjects' judgments about emotions expressed by the faces of infants pictured in slides to predictions made by the Max system of measuring emotional expression. Judgments did not coincide with Max predictions for fear, anger, sadness, and disgust. Results indicated that expressions of negative affect by infants are not fully…

Howard, Paul G.; Vitter, Jeffrey Scott – Information Processing and Management, 1992
Analyzes the amount of compression possible when arithmetic coding is used for text compression in conjunction with various input models. Algorithms are analyzed; modeling effects are considered; scaling is discussed; higher order models are examined, including prediction by partial matching; and coding effects are described.

Bookstein, A.; And Others – Information Processing & Management, 1994
Examines two models to study the consequences for coding efficiency of sample fluctuations, a specific type of error in the statistics on which data compression codes are based. The possibility that random fluctuation can be exploited for data compression is discussed. (six references) (KRN)

Ball, Martin J. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1991
This paper examines the need for a transcription system that allows the symbolization of nonnormal articulations. The paper then describes transcription systems proposed by clinical phoneticians and speech pathologists, especially PRDS (phonetic representation of disordered speech) symbols and extensions of the International Phonetic Alphabet.…

Kember, David; Jones, Alice; Loke, Alice; McKay, Jan; Sinclair, Kit; Tse, Harrison; Webb, Celia; Wong, Frances; Wong, Marian; Yeung, Ella – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 1999
A coding method for measuring reflective thinking in student journals was tested twice, demonstrating acceptable reliability among evaluators and supporting the precision of the guidelines for coding. Coding categories were as follows: habitual action, introspection, thoughtful action, content reflection, process reflection, content and process…

Lent, Ellen B.; Lopez, Frederick G. – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 1996
At 2 sites information was collected from 168 workers, and their 3-letter Holland work environment codes were crossed with 3 measures of person-environment congruence. All three measures were strongly intercorrelated. The way a job was coded had a significant effect on the calculation of congruence. (SK)

Sigmon, Neil; Yankosky, Bill – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2002
Description of integrating one of the most widely used cryptosystems into a mathematics course for Liberal Arts majors. Application of this cryptosystem requires understanding of the concepts of exponentiation and modular arithmetic only. (MM)

Whitney, C. – Brain and Language, 2004
Consistent with converging experimental evidence, we assume that foveal information is initially split across the two cerebral hemispheres. We have previously presented the SERIOL model of letter-position coding, which specifies how the resulting two halves of a letter string are integrated into an abstract representation of letter order. This…

Janssen, Dirk P.; Roelofs, Ardi; Levelt, Willem J. M. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2004
Three experiments are reported that examined whether stem complexity plays a role in inflecting polymorphemic words in language production. Experiment 1 showed that preparation effects for words with polymorphemic stems are larger when they are produced among words with constant inflectional structures compared to words with variable inflectional…

Bean, Erik Paul – Online Submission, 2008
Since the 1920s, textbook critics have maintained that textbooks should offer a homogenous editorial approach, including an acknowledgment of a mix of author opinion and scholarly research. Several researchers indicated that some textbooks are not homogenous. The purpose of this quantitative content analysis study was to examine whether…

Armstrong, Jane; Bergner, Terry; Smith, Nancy – Data Quality Campaign, 2008
States have made dramatic progress in the past few years in implementing longitudinal data systems (LDS) to improve student achievement. These systems collect and house student educational data that make it easy for policymakers and practitioners to access and use it for reporting, policymaking and decision making. So much has happened in states…

McDermott, Mark A.; Hand, Brian – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2010
This study aims to add to the growing research related to the implementation of non-traditional writing tasks in classrooms to encourage science literacy. A secondary reanalysis methodology was employed to review student interviews collected as a part of several individual studies during a ten year research program. This method established an…

Askan, Nazan; Kockanska, Grazyna; Ortmann, Margaret R. – Developmental Psychology, 2006
The authors captured mother-child and father-child relationships when children were 7 and 15 months old by coding 4 explicitly dyadic components of mutually responsive orientation (MRO): coordinated routines, harmonious communication, mutual cooperation, and emotional ambiance. These components were coded in 102 families in naturalistic contexts…

Kuo, Li-jen; Anderson, Richard C. – Educational Psychologist, 2006
In the past decade, there has been a surge of interest in morphological awareness, which refers to the ability to reflect on and manipulate morphemes and word formation rules in a language. This review provides a critical synthesis of empirical studies on this topic from a broad cross-linguistic perspective. Research with children speaking several…

Attar, K. E. – Journal of Librarianship and Information Science, 2006
Students have provided cheap successful labour for routine retrospective cataloguing projects. The current article examines a library project which went further, using university students with minimum training to catalogue its undergraduate stock from the book in hand to AACR2, level 2, allegedly to professional standard. The article discusses the…
