Provides a reproducible flow chart to aid students in problem-solving skill development. Steps include: determining what is asked; choosing a relationship; and checking validity of the relationship. Teacher notes are given to improve instruction. (DH)

Presents a historical perspective of videodisc technology and technical examination of Optical Disc Corporation's (ODC) LaserVision system, an audio/video communication system which stores composite signals on videodisc. Also discussed are premastering, mastering, and replication steps in videodisc production; videodisc player design and…

A workable solution to the problem of how to test out an interactive video program before paying for videotape production and editing involves creating a videotape template of the computer program's flowchart to reproduce the actual interactive experience and thus check for program accuracy. (MBR)

Discusses three task analysis techniques utilized at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station to review training programs: analysis of (1) job positions, (2) procedures, and (3) instructional presentations. All of these include task breakdown, relationship determination, and task restructuring. (MBR)

A method of teaching introductory statistics using student-selected project topics is described. Several activities are noted, with a model for student research projects. (MNS)

Describes the use of a microcomputer system to generate a personal database of books read by adding titles, displaying title/author information, and editing title/author information and discusses the system design, i.e., file structure (author index, book index, book, author), the main driver, function subroutines, and screen subroutines. (EJS)

Intended for educators writing curriculum guides, this report describes a method of stating objectives which avoids indoctrination. The method consists of the use of flowcharts by which the cognitive operations associated with a desired behavior can be represented. (RM)

Discusses use of the computer to solve the specific scheduling problems in assigning umpires to American League baseball games and assigning crews of officials to Atlantic Coast Conference football and basketball games. Scheduling variables that complicate the process and make manual scheduling almost impossible are described. (MBR)

Three experiments were performed using a recognition probe procedure to test the subject's recognition of the order of two items from a dichotically presented list. (Editor)

Examines the hypothesis that the identification of a briefly presented visual target is impeded by a patterned mask that immediately precedes and/or follows it. (Author/RK)

Tests the hypothesis that the effectiveness of discriminative stimuli as reinforcers is a function of the magnitude of the difference between them. (Author/RK)

A 2 (aid vs. no aid) / 2 (high vs. low resource potential donor) between subjects design tested the effects of aid and donor resources on recipient self-perceptions and subsequent self-help behavior. (Editor)

The problem of traditional criminal activity and the legal system dealing with it are reviewed from police, prosecution and courts to corrections. (Author/KM)

Discusses the advantages of using flow diagrams as a teaching technique in science. Several flow diagrams relating to topics in biology are provided as illustrations. (JR)
