Description of encoding of art works and digitization of paintings to preserve and restore them reviews experiments which used chromatic selection and abstraction as a painting restoration method. This method utilizes the numeric processing resulting from digitization to restore a painting and computer simulation to shorten the restoration…

Presents a formal model for specification of logical requirements of computer-based information systems that incorporates structural and dynamic aspects based on two separate models: the Logical Information Processing Structure and the Logical Information Processing Network. The model's role in systems development is discussed. (MBR)

Discusses where and when word processing training should take place, prerequisites to word processing training, modifying vendor training materials, building drills and repetition into lessons, which computer operations to include in word processing curriculum, beginning lessons with a review, and teaching the use of documentation. (CT)

The U.S. transformation from an industrial society to an information society is discussed. Economic and social implications of moving toward a technological information society are examined, and the role postsecondary education can play in intellectual capital formation for economic development is explored. (Author/MLW)

Defines in detail the three levels of IBM compatibility--operational, data, and MS-DOS--and also examines 16-bit microprocessors and the MS-DOS operating system, both of which play key roles in determining whether a given machine will run IBM software. (MBR)

Using Karl Weick's concept of organizing, argues that the information processing systems of administrators and teachers are largely separate. (JW)

This paper explores contemporaneous and intergenerational relationships among various scientific endeavors and military activity. Using European historical data from 1500 to 1900 A.D., generational (or 25-yr) fluctuations were examined for nine categories of scientific discovery and invention and for two aspects of military activity. Findings are…

In 1974 Wood proposed a hybrid serial-parallel model to account for the within-stimulus interactions between the acoustic cue of "pitch" and the phonetic cue of "place". These experiments found Wood's research independent of his subjects' experience, the order of cue presentation, and whether the cues are presented simultaneously or sequentially.…

Though the teaching profession lacks a centralized collection of teacher education information, it does have the bases for such a collection and the responsibility for developing it lies with the members of the profession. (MB)

The Miscellaneous section of the Proceedings contains the following 6 papers: "The Effect of Membership in the Society of Environmental Journalists on Inclusion of Enabling Information in Stories on Water Quality" (Michelle M. Tedford); "Press, Privacy and Presidential 'Proceedings': Moral Judgments and the Clinton-Lewinsky…

An obvious and natural approach to organizing a large corpus of data is a hierarchical index--akin to a book's table of contents. The type of corpus dealt with here is a bibliographical repository, with entries form a limited domain. Given such an index, it is desirable that search results point to relevant locations in the hierarchy, rather than…

In the present study, an attempt was made to determine whether temporal patterning and speach processes comparable to those obtained with categorized materials are involved in the recall of higher order units formed intraexperimentally. (Author)

Article devoted attention to the effect television has on verbal ability and development and the manner in which television may serve as a model for language usage. Author also outlined some of the limitations imposed on language by television. (Author/RK)

Liniar functions fitted to the proportion of optional reversal shifts as a function of log CA were used to assess the effect of stimulus and training variables on the development of reversal-shift. (ST)

The aim of this paper is to attempt to develop a neuropsychological theory of attention which is compatible with contemporary theories of human information processing. (Author/RK)
