Reports on two experiments concerned with the use of the limited capacity cognitive processing system in a later stage of reading: the processes associated with processing information and knowledge from text for retention. (HOD)

Experiment dealt with selecting political candidates. Results provide some limited support for the hypothesized importance of matching information presentation formats to decision-making strategies. However, the most effective pattern of matching turned out to be in the opposite direction of the prediction. Discusses methodological issues. (PD)

Attempts to validate the basic constructs of a theory of cognitive switching developed from human performance literature and signaled stopping research. Presents data which display behavioral traces of the ways people organize television news into their information-processing system. (JMF)

Describes the elements and functioning of the terminology bank of the PLATO (Programmed Loqic for Automated Teaching Operation) system. Discusses contemporary terminology and lexicography notions on which the bank is based and outlines the tasks performed through PLATERM. (MES)

Discusses the scope of information science, problems involved, and the areas of research needed for development. In particular, the processes occurring in thinking, memory, and knowledge are considered as they arise in the production and receipt of information. (Author/RAA)

Investigated teacher attribution of the nature of the handicapped child's problem by ED or LD handicap label and strength of expectancy as a function of amount and type of information. Type and valence, rather than just amount of information, appeared to be more influential of attributioning in decision making. (Author/RC)

Summarizes what has been suggested so far with regard to the social, political, and economic consequences of transborder data flows involved in the linking of computerized information processing networks. (FM)

In a task designed to separate perceptual processes from memory, reading-disabled 12-year-olds showed no perceptual deficits as compared to their peers. However, they exhibited major deficiencies in memory skills, appearing to suffer from a basic information-processing deficiency. (Author/CS)

Defines and examines the creative process and discusses the functions of the left and right hemispheres of the brain. (RK)

The present experiments, in conjunction with prior findings that good and poor readers differ in letter search time by their ability to use spatial redundancy, suggest that processes involved in the component skill of letter identification cannot be considered trivial to the reading process. (Editor)

The goals of education are commonly and easily agreed upon. The author points out that steps can and should be taken to determine how well school goals are, in fact, achieved. (Editor)

Jones and Nisbett (1972) hypothesize that actors attribute their actions to situational requirements whereas observers attribute the same actions to personal dispositions. This hypothesis is critically examined and a reconceptualization is proposed. (Editor/RK)

Building a railroad or writing about it in class takes a lot of organization. (Editor)

Attempts a more direct, functional analysis of associative processing than is possible within the traditional two-stage transfer paradigm. (Author/RK)
