Attempts to determine whether different types of MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) profiles occur for heroin abusers and, if they existed, to describe them. (Author/RK)

Symbols and shapes used in flowcharting are defined, reasons for incorporating flowcharts into instructional activities are listed, and eight different flowcharts are presented. (DT)

This report describes and flowcharts the process of the paper work flow at a hypothetical automotive parts business from the disbursement of funds to the updating of the inventory records, in order to supply business students with a lesson in using the data processor. (CT)

Describes the use of programs written in BASIC and graphics facilities of microcomputers to make students aware of the assumptions of statistical models in linear regression and the design of experiments. Two references are cited. (CHC)

A flow chart is used to illustrate analytical chemistry as a component of a problem-solving process. Beginning with a problem, the flow chart proceeds to the question, experimental design, experiments, data treatment, answer, and solution. Another flow chart is used to expand on experimental design. (Author/SK)

Describes the simulation game "Nuclear Deterrence," which was developed to model an international relations crisis situation involving a bargaining framework potentially applicable to crisis modeling in other disciplines. Eight references are listed. (Author/LLS)

Provides a model with which to view the instructional process and the teaching activities within it. Presents a flow chart to aid information on improvement of instruction. Stresses the importance of viewing improvement as a continuous process and utilizing feedback. (SMB)

Gives recommendations for training college and university faculty in the fundamentals of simulation design using short, concise training programs. Thirteen references are listed. (Author/LLS)

Describes computer utilization in the engineering curriculum at a community college, placing special emphasis on meeting the needs of student learning styles. (Author/CMV)

Describes ways in which algorithms which refer to underlying procedures should be represented in order to improve communication in educational and/or training materials. Representations of linear procedures, decision rule procedures, and complex procedures are provided. (MER)

Solutions to difficult equations are illustrated with numerical techniques that can be used easily on calculators. Flowcharts and programs for computers and calculators are included. (MP)

A phonetic confusion model and some procedural artifacts were eliminated as sources for individual differences in fusion rate. Results of these two experiments were consistent with the hypothesis that individual differences in fusion rate are due to differences in perceptual dependence on linguistic rules. (Editor/RK)

A multiple regression analysis of sequential effects in magnitude estimation and absolute identification is presented as an alternative to the approach used by Lockhead and his students. The new analysis indicates that sequential effects do not extend over more than one trial. (Editor)

True-false scales were devised to measure anhedonia, the lowered ability to experience pleasure. The scales were Physical Anhedonia (40 items) and Social Anhedonia (48 items). (Editor)

Three experiments were performed to test the assertion that attractiveness of novel or complex stimuli has confounded experiments on the relative importance of S+ and S- in discrete-trial discrimination. (Editor)
