Hosford, Philip L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1975
The author shows how a rapid computational "trick" can lead to an investigation of Fibonacci-type sequences. (SD)

Sotina, N. M.; Burlai, Yu. P. – 1969
The invention involves a device with learning capacity which contains input, storage, arithmetic and output units. In order to increase the number of recognizable patterns, facilitate replacement of one pattern by another, and also increase the speed of the device, the memory unit for the input field is connected to memory units for storage of…

Defense Documentation Center, Alexandria, VA. – 1968
This unclassified-unlimited bibliography contains 183 references, with abstracts, dealing specifically with optical or graphic information processing. Citations are grouped under three headings: display devices and theory, character recognition, and pattern recognition. Within each group, they are arranged in accession number (AD-number) sequence.…

Ball, Geoffrey H. – 1970
Sorting things into groups is a basic intellectual task that allows people to simplify with minimal reduction in information. Classification techniques, which include both clustering and discrimination, provide step-by-step computer-based procedures for sorting things based on notions of generalized similarity and on the "class description"…

Annett, John – 1971
An experienced person, in such tasks as sonar detection and recognition, has a considerable superiority over a machine recognition system in auditory pattern recognition. However, people require extensive exposure to auditory patterns before achieving a high level of performance. In an attempt to discover a method of training people to recognize…

Brynat, P. E.; Raz, I. – Developmental Psychology, 1975
Simultaneous and successive visual and tactual shape discrimination were examined in this study which replicated with modifications an earlier study. When ceiling effects were precluded, data support the conclusion that children often find it more difficult to discriminate shapes by touch than by vision. (GO)

Speck, Royce A. – School Science and Mathematics, 1979
A coordinate system is imposed on a geoboard to form a table that leads to the discovery of the formula n[(n+1)(n+1)] (n+2)/12. Proof is by induction. (MP)

Watson, F. R. – Mathematics in School, 1978
Conjecture and proof, as opposed to numerical calculation, are presented as being the primary focus for teaching mathematics. (MP)

Larsen, Axel; Bundesen, Claus – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1978
Human visual recognition on the basis of shape but regardless of size was investigated by reaction time methods. Results suggested two processes of size scaling: mental-image transformation and perceptual-scale transformation. Image transformation accounted for matching performance based on visual short-term memory, whereas scale transformation…

Swetz, Frank – Mathematics Teacher, 1978
The origin of the magic square, its numerical concepts, and some procedures for its construction are discussed. (JT)

Hoffenberg, Elliot J. – MATYC Journal, 1977
An approach to teaching sequences is described. The method is based on finding generating functions. (SD)

Millington, W. – Mathematics in School, 1977
Designs and arrangements of pentominoes are examined. (SD)

Proctor, Robert W. – Psychological Review, 1986
Ratcliff (1985) simulated data from three letter-matching experiments with his diffusion model. The necessity of including a comparison criterion is consistent with the conclusion of Proctor, Rao, and Hurst (1984) that bias of response criteria, alone, is insufficient to generate the fast-same phenomenon.

Dean, Anne L.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1986
Investigates whether elementary school children can successfully execute a mental rotation on Marmor's state-comparison task without knowledge of logical sequence relations, whereas such knowledge is required to construct or evaluate external representations of the successive states in a rotation movement. (HOD)

Trehub, Sandra E.; And Others – Child Development, 1984
Two experiments involving a total of 177 infants 8 to 11 months of age found that subjects used a global processing strategy like adults' in discriminating transformations of a six-tone melody. Subjects needed melodic contour and frequency range to judge new sequences, but, in easy tasks, they also used absolute frequency. (CB)
