The problem of allocating funds for teacher salary increases was analyzed using a computer simulation model of the decision process. Data from six suburban school systems were gathered for the study, which attempted to predict salary increases. Numerous tables and charts illustrate study procedures and findings. (LLR)

Decision flowcharts are efficient and effective training tools for librarians and library employees below the administrative level. In addition, the cost of training programs is reduced by the use of flowcharts. Training staff in the performance of routine procedures is particularly suited to the use o f decision flowcharts. The two types of…

A discussion of the recent diagram and attention theory and research surprisingly suggests that a single flow diagram with instructive questions constitutes an effective learning medium in terms of verbal chaining. (Author)

The purpose of the present work was to investigate the relation between pattern goodness and accuracy of reproduction in backward masking. It may be hypothesized that good patterns, being easier to encode as wholes, will be reproduced more easily than poorer patterns. Four experiments were performed. (Author)

A decision matrix as a technique for making rational planning decisions is presented. (EC)

The present experiment was intended as a further elaboration of the effects of nonphysically aversive stimulation on subsequent performance, in order to determine the applicability of the helplessness model to the human subject. (Author)

Some applications of mathematics to bicycle gearing, speedometers, and bicycle braking are discussed. A method of calculating bicycle speed is developed. (MP)

Describes an economic modeling approach to evaluating the cost and benefits associated with providing information services through information centers. The approach develops a framework for understanding observations about the demand for scientific and technical information and integrating these observations with fundamental economic principles.…

This is the first in a series of information papers that are intended to supply information on matters of general importance to the educational system.

An attempt was made to uncover dysfunctions in any of the mechanisms in selective attention, as well as any unusual allocation policy, which possibly exist in schizophrenia. (Author/RK)

A previously proposed model for memory based on neurophysiological considerations is reviewed. It is extended by introducing positive feedback of a set of neurons onto itself and allowing the neurons to saturate. The resulting model is analyzed by distinctive features, categorical perception, and as it applies to probability learning. (Editor/RK)
