Examines earlier studies relating to human memory, extracts estimates of parameters that appear to be crucial to performance in complex tasks, and illustrates how these parameter values predict behavior in a range of laboratory situations. (JR)

The proposed model can be likened to a moving least squares'' model. It uses a data search procedure in which the intent is to evaluate a number of variables substantively, rather than in terms of formal statistical procedures. (Author)

Develops models to systematically forecast the tendency of an educational administrator in charge of personnel selection processes to shift from one decision strategy to another under generally stable environmental conditions. Urges further research on these processes by educational planners. (JF)

In this paper, we explore the rules that determine intuitive predictions and judgments of confidence and contrast these rules to the normative principles of statistical prediction. (Author)

Two experiments compared Ss' serial recall of 16 hierarchically formed patterns of ordered digits. (Author)

The hypothesis of this study, that participants with some years of college would differ in their ability to predict their scores on a classroom examination, was supported by results indicating that internals are more accurate indicators of their non-academic performance than externals. (Author/KM)

In 1970 the Institute for the Future made an indepth study on the potential of two-way broadband communications services to the home. Author discusses the findings and describes 30 specific services that interactive television could provide. (Author/HB)

This limited study of one small private college does not predict with great accuracy which freshmen are likely to transfer, although differences in student perceptions are present. (CJ)

The Motivation Check-Sheet method used in this study is a step toward helping junior colleges to more accurately predict the academic achievement of their students. (Author)

The purpose of the research reported in this paper was to extend previous research on the relationship between organizational factors and retroactive inhibition in free recall. (Author)

An air quality control scheme employing meteorological diffusion, time averaging and frequency, and cost-benefit models is discussed. The methods outlined provide a constant feedback system for air quality control. Flow charts and maps are included. (BL)

Study designed to reveal some of the intermediate skills which might account for the superior academic performance of children who perceive their reinforcements in those situations as caused by their own behavior (internal control). (Authors)

Factors on the NATB most statistically related to job performance were conceptually similar to Jensen's Level 1 abilities, Cattell's Fluid Intelligence, Perceptual Speed Dexterity, and Memory. WAIS Verbal and Full-Scale IQs were not significantly related to employment success. Reading skill and other verbal abilities are not essential to NATB…
