INTENDED FOR PERSONS HAVING DIRECT RESPONSIBILITY FOR BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT IN EDUCATIONAL AND CLINICAL SETTINGS, THE BIBLIOGRAPHY LISTS 866 ENTRIES ON BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION. EACH ITEM LISTED DESCRIBES OR ILLUSTRATES SPECIFIC METHODS OF BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION AND IS CONCEIVED WITHIN SOME LEARNING FRAMEWORK THEORY. ARRANGED ALPHABETICALLY BY AUTHOR,…

A POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR PROBLEMS OF MEMORY IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING IS THE "GRADUATED INTERVAL RECALL," A PROCEDURE FOR AIDING STUDENTS TO REMEMBER THE VOCABULARY AND STRUCTURES THEY HAVE LEARNED. WHEN A NEW WORD IS LEARNED, THE PROCESS OF FORGETTING BEGINS AT ONCE AND PROCEEDS VERY RAPIDLY. IF THE STUDENT IS REMINDED OF THE WORD…

TWO CLOSELY RELATED ART LEARNING EXPERIMENTS WERE CONDUCTED IN A SETTING WHERE COLLEGE UNDERGRADUATES, TRAINED AND UNTRAINED IN ART, MADE SEQUENTIAL DRAWINGS OVER A 6- AND 7-WEEK PERIOD UNDER RELATIVELY CONSTANT CONDITIONS, EXCEPT FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF CONTROLLED TREATMENT INFLUENCES. THE SECOND EXPERIMENT WAS BUILT, IN PART, ON THE OUTCOMES OF…

THE RESULTS OF INVESTIGATIONS CONDUCTED DURING THE PAST 6 YEARS IN SELF-INSTRUCTION IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES HAVE LED RESEARCHERS TO CONCLUDE THAT TOTAL PROGRAMED INSTRUCTION SEEMS PRODUCTIVE ONLY IN CASES WHERE THE TERMINAL BEHAVIOR TO BE ACHIEVED IS VERY LIMITED. EXPERIMENTS HAVE SHOWN THAT IT IS MOST USEFUL IN MODULES AT EARLY LEVELS FOR TEACHING…

BOTH COGNITIVELY-ORIENTED AND RESPONSE-ORIENTED THEORIES OF PERCEPTUAL LEARNING ARE DISCUSSED AND CONTRASTED WITH A STIMULUS-ORIENTED THEORY. PERCEPTUAL LEARNING IS DEFINED AS AN INCREASE IN SPECIFICITY OF DISCRIMINATION OF THE STIMULUS INPUT. THE AUTHOR DESCRIBED WHAT IS LEARNED IN PERCEPUTAL LEARNING AS () THE DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF THINGS, (2)…

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH IS LEARNED AND RETAINED BY CHILDREN WHO OBSERVE THE PERFORMANCE OF ANOTHER CHILD ON A TASK INVOLVING CONCEPT LEARNING. SUBJECTS FOR THE STUDY WERE THIRD-GRADE CHILDREN ASSIGNED TO SAME SEX GROUPS OF THREE. TWO CHILDREN (1 AND 2) OBSERVED WHILE THE THIRD CHILD (S1) USED AN ELECTRONICALLY…

A theory for representation of concepts in memory is proposed which emphasizes the association of salient exemplars with the concept. Previous theories dealing with the classification processes involved in acquiring new concepts have shown that clear category boundaries do not exist. It is proposed that present theory must account for the…

The most significant development in higher education in the last 20 years is the essentialist-existentialist confrontation--the formal versus the vital. What we decide about this matter will determine what we do with all other developments. Essentialists in education are concerned with what is permanent and rational and contend history is a worthy…

An hypothesis concerning a definition of the concepts assimilation and accommodation was tested. Both assimilation and accommodation were hypothesized to be processes that produce changes in cognitive structures--internal representations used to organize behavior. The hypothesis is that, in contrast to assimilation, the changes in structure caused…

A cognition theory of learning is described based on information processing analyses of representations of knowledge in long term, intermediate term, and short term memory. An application of the theory is presented for an example of algebra. It is emphasized that learning is not simply a stamping in, through repetition, of simple links. The…

Sixty subjects learned four different 16-word lists in four different conditions. Within each list, every word was repeated. The four conditions were defined by a 2 (whole vs. blocked presentation) by 2 (same order vs. random order repetition) factorial design. An unexpected final free recall followed the immediate free recall of the fourth list.…

Suggestology is the scientific study of the psychology of suggestion and Suggestopedia in the application of relaxation and suggestion techniques to learning. The approach applied to learning processes (called Suggestopedic) developed by Dr. Georgi Lozanov (called the Lozanov Method) utilizes mental and physical relaxation, deep breathing,…

This report describes a teacher training program which is based on an analysis of the inquiry process. The first chapter presents an operational construct of the inquiry process; method of program development and assessment through a phase analysis system; and a model for the structure of committees involved in program design, implementation, and…

It was hypothesized that the Bransford-Franks linear effect is an artifact of the method of presentation of stimulus sentences and is unrelated to semantic processes. Subjects were given sentences containing the same information in one of two ways. In a control condition, which was identical to the procedure used in earlier research, overlapping…

The study attempted to minimize nonspecific response strategies which supposedly mask the positive effect of perceptual pretraining on initial discrimination learning within the predifferentiation paradigm. The subjects were 44 first- and second-graders. Experimental-group subjects received rules learning (RL), pretraining, initial discrimination…
