The question under investigation in the present paper is whether subjects can effectively use retention interval information under demanding acquisition and retention conditions, specifically, to evaluate the contribution of retention interval information to memory performance when temporal information is made explicitly available. (Author/RK)

Four experiments examined the effect of label training on redintegrative memory for novel shapes (remembering the whole shape when only a part is presented). (Editor)

In two experiments, subjects were given five successive short-term memory tests. The findings suggested spatial location as a potential encoding dimension of verbal material. (Editor/RK)

The three experiments reported in this article were concerned with the question of how response factors influence the process of stimulus encoding. (Author)

This report summarizes the findings of the Computer-Aided Transcription (CAT) Project, which conducted a 14-month study of the technology and use of computer systems for translating into English the shorthand notes taken by court reporters on stenotype machines. Included are the state of the art of CAT at the end of 1980 and anticipated future…

This manual designed to provide the teacher with methods of understanding the computer and its potential in the classroom includes four units with exercises and an answer sheet. Unit 1 covers computer fundamentals, the mini computer, programming languages, an introduction to BASIC, and control instructions. Variable names and constants described…

This paper describes a tutorial lesson to give teachers a model against which to compare and contrast a variety of instances of such lessons, and to help them to eventually come to a personal position on what constitutes a tutorial computer lesson. Three flow charts are provided as examples of tutorial style episodes. This resource for preservice…

A report on technical processing of monographs and serials at Purdue University Libraries and Audio-Visual Center was compiled as part of preparation for the use of Ohio College Library Center services. The current organization and flow of work in the acquisitions and cataloging departments were described in narrative and flowchart form, and…

Following an explanation of cost-effective studies and the need for them in libraries, part one of this report provides step-by-step instructions, with examples, to enable librarians to conduct such studies in their own setting. Part two provides an example of the use of the model, presenting the results of the cost analysis of monographic…

This paper reviews and criticizes existing models of governance of teacher education and proposes alternative ones. Chapter I defines three models of governance including a) a bureaucratic model; b) a collaborative model; and c) a systems analysis model which is used to plan new models in the final chapters. Chapter II deals with the current…

The teacher's guide for the second unit of this SMSG series covers the two chapters in Unit 2 of the student text on algorithms and flow charts and on problem formulation. The overall purpose for each of the chapters is described, the prerequisite knowledge needed by students is specified, the mathematical development of each chapter is detailed,…

Since the ultimate success of any diagram rests in its clarity, it is important that the designer select a method of presentation which will achieve this aim. He should be aware of the various ways in which statistics can be shown diagrammatically, how information can be incorporated in maps, and how events can be plotted in chart or graph form.…

Gas flow patterns at a sampling nozzle are described in this presentation for the 12th Conference on Methods in Air Pollution and Industrial Hygiene Studies, University of Southern California, April, 1971. Three situations for sampling velocity are illustrated and analyzed, where the flow upstream of a sampling probe is: (1) equal to free stream…

A multimedia course in economic analysis was developed and used in conjunction with the United States Naval Academy. (See ED 043 790 and ED 043 791 for final reports of the project evaluation and development model.) This report documents the first iteration of the macrolevel sequencing of the course elements, a process designed to depict the…

Visualizing relationships in the form of story maps, flow charts or time lines is a creative way of recording ideas. (JH)
