The present investigation sought to obtain further evidence to show that the difference between male and female subjects is not simply a matter of persuasibility but a difference in the way objective (male) and emotional (female) information processing systems respond to audience cues. (Author)

Several museum information processing systems are discussed in relation to their underlying assumptions regarding museum information and networking needs that have resulted in inadequate service to some kinds of museums, particularly historical museums. Rather than any of these systems, a modular approach is proposed that would allow each museum…

This examination of abstracting-indexing services for the field of history focuses on Historical Abstracts (HA) and America--History and Life (AHL), and their relationship to the American Bibliographical Center's Subject Profile Index (ABC-SPIndex). The history, scope, selection criteria, and classification arrangements of the two databases are…

THE EFFECTS OF FAMILIARITY ON THE PROCESSING OF STIMULUS AND MEMORIAL INFORMATION WERE INVESTIGATED IN TWO TASKS--ONE WHICH SUPPOSEDLY REQUIRED ONLY THE PERCEPTUAL RECOGNITION OF EACH STIMULUS WORD (E TASK) AND ONE WHICH REQUIRED A MEANINGFUL CATEGORIZATION OF EACH STIMULUS WORD (C TASK). FIFTY UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN UNDERGRADUATES WHO WERE PAID…

A MODEL FOR THE ANALYSIS OF SPELLING BEHAVIOR WAS PRESENTED AND DESCRIBED AS REPRESENTING TOTAL SPELLING BEHAVIOR AS A FORM OF INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM. THE MODEL REPRESENTS THE PROCESSING OF A NEED TO CORRECTLY SPELL A WORD THROUGH THE SEQUENCES OF VARIOUS PROCESSING CHANNELS TO THE WRITING OF THE WORD AND FEEDBACK FOR CORRECTION WHEN…

THE PRELIMINARY PLANNING FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF AN INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH IS REPORTED. THIS PLAN WAS BUILT UPON DETAILED SUBJECT ANALYSIS AND RETRIEVAL OF DOCUMENTS BY A NATIONAL NETWORK TERMED THE EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH INFORMATION CENTER (ERIC). AN INVESTIGATION WAS ALSO MADE OF USE OF…

To support studies in automatic indexing, classification and extracting, a general purpose frequency program was developed to further theoretical and practical understanding of text word distributions. While the program is primarily designed for counting strings of character-oriented data, it can be used without change for counting any items which…

An architectural computer system was developed using modern small scale computers, to ease the interaction and conflict within the design team during the design process. The original proposal included an information file, a mathematical building model, and a subsystems (electrical, cost estimating, etc.) model. Due to unanticipated problems, the…

This document describes a project in which individuals' responses to a convention as a means for acquiring scientific information were studied. Data were collected on questionnaires (a copy is appended) distributed to participants at the 1966 American Association for Public Opinion Research Convention. The researchers attempted to correlate the…

WISE is an on-line, interactive information retrieval system designed to operate on key-word-oriented data bases. The WISE user searches a data base by entering and combining key-words that are appropriate to the data base and the subject matter. The user also enters certain command statements to enhance the results of the search and to control…

The objectives of this workshop were: (1) To provide assistance in the exploration of the technological and related issues, which include the latest techniques, methods for employment, equipment and benefits to be obtained from the application of computer-controlled typesetting and photographic composition; (2) To provide an opportunity for…

The report is concerned with the implementation of an on-line information storage and retrieval system for the Rome Air Development Center. This system is to incorporate techniques of automatic document classification for a large document collection in an interactive environment. Following a review of the system design, the implementation of the…
