The purpose of this study was to determine: (1) how different types of dynamic visual facilitate the achievement of specific types of educational objectives; (2) whether the use of dynamic visualization influenced the amount of time needed by learners to process the information; and (3) whether there is an interaction between the amount of time…

The current system for scholarly information dissemination may be amenable to significant improvement. In particular, going from the current system of journal publication to one of self-distributed documents offers significant cost and timeliness advantages. A major concern with such alternatives is how to provide the value currently afforded by…

Information needs are growing more rapidly than the abilities of research libraries and information centers to meet them. Two reasons and their influence on information systems are discussed: a shift in scientific endeavor from basic science to applied, leading to the emergence of programmatic research; and the technology of science itself. (16…

Assesses subjects' information output after presentation of pictorial, word, and sentence stimuli. Output is measured in two modes of response: reconstruction and verbal description. Complexity of the stimuli is demonstrated to have important effects on perceptual information processing. (DP)

Uni- and multidimensional processing of 6- to 9-year olds was studied using recall tasks in which an array of stimuli was reconstructed to match a model array. Results indicated that both age groups were able to solve multidimensional problems, but that solution rate was retarded by the unidimensional processing of highly salient dimensions.…

Examines the effect of different training methods on perceptual learning of impulsive children. A matching to sample method (M), and a differentiation method (D) were used. Data indicated that Ss receiving D training learned to process features distinguishing stimuli; whereas, Ss receiving M training showed no preference for a particular mode of…

Suggests that the information integration processes used by adults to form judgments are also used by children. (ST)

In a schematic concept formation task, second and fifth graders were required to sort 60 computer-generated, 8-sided polygons into two classes. The results indicated that age differences in schematic concept formation are due more to the efficiency of information use than to differences in strategy or the selection of information to be used.

Article gives the results of a multiple-probe recognition memory investigation examining the importance of relationships between items in a memorized series (positive set). (Editor)

Parts of this paper were presented in the form of a lecture at Florida State University, Tallahassee, on February 19, 1970. Section 8 was originally delivered as an informal seminar at the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of Texas at Austin, on March 12, 1970. (VM)

Findings provide information about developmental differences in sorting and recall, as well as evidence that organizational training may influence recall performance. (Authors)

Study examined the effects of an integrative or central information processing variable on visual-motor task performance of normal and mentally retarded Ss. (Authors)

It was concluded that developmental differences in focusing are related to developmental differences in reflection-impulsivity. (Author)
