Eidetic imagery involves the ability to examine a visual stimulus briefly and later project onto a neutral surface an image that represents an exact duplication of the original. This study uses the differential frequency of eidetic imagery ability between children and adults as a basis for testing the validity of hypnotic age regression.…

Three experiments were conducted in an attempt to develop an account of information loss based on the relationships among events occurring at input, during a retention interval, and at output. (Editor)

This study addresses one of those technical questions that has profound implications about which we know so little and assume so much: should survey/feedback designs identify respondents? Convenience and caution usually dictate anonymity. However, this study shows that identifiers and nonidentifiers differ significantly. (Author)

Article attempted to show that new findings are emerging that may bring the study of probability learning closer to the mainstream of research on human memory and information processing. (Author/RK)

This paper considers the processing of digital library queries, consisting of a text component and a structured component in distributed environments. The paper concentrates on the processing of the structured component of a distributed query. A method is proposed to identify the databases that are likely to be useful for processing any given…

Among the purposes of this chapter is the provision of a description of the sample and research design of the MISOE sample data systems, including a specification of the size of the sample. (Author/RK)

Describes the development and application of an algorithm that generates non-linear representations of English text. It appears that the representation it produces could be quite useful in automatic language processing. (JB)

A substructure search screening system based on bond-centered fragements was evaluated using 108 queries derived from user SDI profiles. (Author/JB)

A major problem in the design of screening systems for substructure searches of chemical structure files is the development of a methodology for selection of an optimal set of structural characteristics to act as screens. Distributions of several structural characteristics of the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry System are summarized. (13…

The establishment of a reference filing system, based on optical coincidence retrieval, for an eight-man research group studying gas reactions is described. The complete system is simple to use and gives rapid, precise reference retrieval. (1 reference) (Author)

Judged by the criterion of practical relevance, the application of computers in the law is a subject which, over the past fifteen years, has promised much, but fulfilled little. (68 references) (Author)

Attempts to clarify the concepts of model, simulation, and game on a theoretical basis, with emphasis on application in the field of computer assisted instruction. (DD)

Various aspects of computer and information science and librarianship are discussed, including the problem of foreign language material increasing in the U.S. and Canada. (SM)
