Investigation of the learning process has led to many theories and some systematic knowledge. The question of how to design instruction to promote effective learning and the subsidiary question of the behavioral controls involved are examined in the light of known facts about the major categories of learned capabilities.

Sequential effects in 2CRT are due to the structure of the sequence of stimuli, rather than due to local response biasing resulting from the sequence of required responses. (Author)

Two distinct dimensions, one relating to motion and the other to the vector nature of some of the concepts, appeared in three separate groups, when either four or five…

Conflicting findings in two earlier studies in the area of learning style effects are studied. (DG)

An analysis of the teacher's role, a listing of general propositions of learning theory, and a discussion of two different models of teaching behavior are presented. These are used as a basis for describing a teacher training program which would include clinical practice and constructive criticism. (TS)

Discusses the need to shift emphasis from the techniques of instruction to the individual learning of the student. (IR)
