Makes a distinction between the instructional development which only translates present curriculum into more effective instruction and that which develops both curriculum and instruction. A management structure for developing materials of the "translation" variety is outlined and a writing and programing technique--information mapping--is…

Presented is a chart for educators on common medications which may be taken by students for such health problems as diabetes, hypertension, epilepsy, asthma, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and leukemia. The possible side effects of each drug are explained. (SJL)

Reviews a number of models, paradigms, designs, techniques, and procedures for the evaluation of instructional materials. (RAO)

Discusses problems involved and describes procedures for integrating card catalog entries made according to the Anglo American Cataloging Rules, Second Edition (AACR2), into an existing author/title file. The fear that integration of the new AACR2 headings into existing files would create bibliographic chaos has proved to be unfounded. (LLS)

Concerned with the nontechnical aspects of flow-charting library procedures, this article pays special attention to the communication process that takes place during such an analysis and suggests how flowcharts can describe, as accurately as possible, what takes place in a given library task. (Author/RAA)

Describes the procedures used in Precision Teaching with less severely handicapped students, including staff training, teacher duties, student screening, and treatment. These procedures are based on direct and daily measurements which are recorded on a standard behavior chart to simplify communication about and illustrate the rate of learning.…

Types and uses of single board computers are discussed. A chart comparing various aspects of 26 of these computers is presented.

Suggestions are given for teaching flowcharting at the elementary school level. A short list of sources for free materials on computers is included. (DT)

It was hypothesized that because of differential social learning, females would report fear of spiders more frequently than males would but that males selected for equal self-report of fear would show greater autonomic responsivity than women to slides of spiders. (Editor)

The present study was designed to assess the cortical concomitants of selective mode-specific attention in subjects differing in the capacity for sustained attentional involvement. (Editor)

Three reaction time (RT) experiments using a modified Strenberg procedure were conducted to determine the number of memory representations maintained for perceptual (dot-pattern) concepts. (Editor)

Under conditions of serial recall of auditorily presented lists of digits, recall of the last item has been shown to be adversely affected by the presence of a redundant item following the list. It is shown that the size of this effect, the suffix effect, is not influenced by the phonological complexity of the suffix. (Editor/RK)

On three occasions over a one-year period 23 children aged 3-4 were asked to match target objects with other objects which were similar to the target in shape or in color but not in both. A sequence of matches to each target was asked for. The structure of these sequences is examined for evidence of classificatory abilities. (Editor)

Presents some initial research findings which describe the over time patterns of work satisfaction characteristics of four distinct careers. Results indicate that these patterns differ in measureable and appreciable ways. (Author/RK)

72 boys and 72 girls at age 41/2 years were tested on the WPPSI. Results underlie the necessity for comprehensive control data on materials used in studies of cognitive development. (Editor/RK)
