The Relational Thinking Style (RTS) identifies five generic learning styles: transient, digital, multi-digital, multi-relational, and meta-relational. (Author/MLF)

Classrooms and other formalized settings have a predictable effect on student behavior and can be manipulated by educators to facilitate learning. (LH)

Teachers can improve student learning by using test-like questions and other systematic procedures derived from learning theory and research. (Author)

In his new book, Reuven Feuerstein explains the program he has developed to improve human ability to learn and to solve problems. (Author/MLF)

Argues for more emphasis on the fabric which holds curriculum detail together and describes those conceptual tools which may help in redirecting thinking toward holistic approaches to instruction and teaching. Linkages between educational technology and learning theory help guide this quest. (Author/RAO)

Discusses the work of S. H. White, W. F. Overton and D. M. Baer. (MS)

The research, learning theory, and educational practices related to mathemagenic behavior are examined. The application of mathemagenic research and theory to science instruction is detailed. Instructional materials and methods useful in integrating mathemagenic research with instruction in science are outlined. (BT)

Discusses four experiments concerned with environmental determiners of the taste familiarity effect. Specifically, external environmental stimulation experienced by the subject at the time of taste preexposure and taste conditioning was varied in order to assess its influence on taste aversion learning. (Author/RK)

When a person performs several activities at the same time, there is often competition for the processing resources required to do those activities. Recently, the authors developed a method for analyzing the tradeoffs that can occur when two or more tasks compete for the same limited resource. (Editor/RK)

Examined processing of noun-noun compounds in which the internal noun is pluralized (such as "new books shelf"), contrary to normal constraints prohibiting such constructions. Tested 36 3- to 5-year olds on their interpretations of compounds fronted by an adjective. Results suggest that children's word formation processes allow complex…

Suggests that teachers become knowledgeable about the effects of Einstellung (pattern seeking in the human mind that results in rigid behavior) and use that knowledge in their teaching practices. (YDS)

Discusses the limitations inherent in workplace learning, suggests how to establish effective interaction between workplace and educational learning, and presents an outline of how learning theory is used in workplace learning. Contains 32 references. (JOW)

Considers how theories of learning can inform the practice of science teaching in formal settings and describes two broad strands of learning theory that have been drawn upon in science education, namely individual and sociocultural views. Shows how aspects of both views can usefully inform understanding of teaching and learning in science in…

Demonstrates the importance of expanding notions of learning beyond knowledge to the practices in mathematics classrooms. Considers a three-year study of students who learned through mathematical modeling. Shows that a modeling approach encouraged the development of a range of important practices in addition to knowledge that were useful in real…

Discusses problems that have arisen between science educators concerning the topic of constructivism. Suggests that knowledge transmission should be viewed as one legitimate and recommendable type of science education in the 21st century. (MVL)
