The entire paper can be summarized by considering the presentation of a stimulus which acts by restricting the set of possible words to a defined short list and the resulting human choice that makes use of information from the stimulus to favor one of the words in the list rather than others.

Vocabulary in first-year high school and college level German texts was studied. It was suggested that textbook authors use published word frequency lists to develop teaching materials that are practical, useful, and relevant to the process of communication. A word list occurring in 12 textbooks is presented in descending frequency. (SW)

A system of grammatical analysis is presented which has certain mathematical properties and which produces the sentences of a language by means of two simple processes: word-entry and entry-reduction. This system is not an alternative to descriptions of grammatical patterns, but rather a complement to them. (DS)

Experiment I studied type of processing (semantic or nonsemantic) and dimension of rating (pleasantness or frequency of occurrence). Recall was higher under semantic conditions and after ratings of pleasantness. Experiment 2 showed that the difference between incidental and intentional learners increases as more stress is placed on the learning…

Tests of cognitive and perceptual abilities were given to 140 college students. These subjects then participated on two word-recognition tasks in which their recognition thresholds to both English and artificial words were obtained. (Editor)

This paper reports on the findings of a quantitative study of the educational technology (ET) terminology in the materials of the SITE (Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education) 1999 Conference. Based on these findings, different technologies used in education are described, a formal definition of ET is presented, and its areas are…

The aim of the present study was to extend the findings relating to the role of imagery in verbal learning and retrieval to the solution of anagrams. (Author)

The purpose of this study was to investigate, both empirically and theoretically, the manner in which human Ss (might) learn to estimate relative frequencies of nine different outcomes of an uncertain event on the basis of a random sequence of event occurences. (Author)

The unit-sequence interference hypothesis predicts that sequences of high-frequency words should be forgotten faster than equivalent sequences of low-frequency words, because of opportunities for response competition that increase with word frequency. (Authors)

Article proposes a set of frequency groups and describes an algorithm for the implementation of a frequency identification and marking procedure on an IBM 360 computer. A sample page of a Russian text book utilizing the technique is given and several other potential utilizations are described. (Author)

Urges secondary school English teachers to encourage students to experiment more with repetition as a writing technique. (SW)
