Graves, Patricia A.; And Others – 1966
This memorandum describes a set of subroutines for the IBM 7040/44 computers for reading textual material with complex formats and coding conventions--questionnaires, library catalog cards, etc.--from any external medium into the high-speed store of the machine. Different kinds of information in the input are recognized by explicit markers,…

American Chemical Society, Columbus, OH. Chemical Abstracts Service. – 1969
Chemical Abstracts Service developed and expanded a computer-based Chemical Registry System and operated it on a large-scale pilot basis. Some 1,744,319 registry transactions were made, resulting in the addition of 988,806 unique substances to the Registry Files. Continual effort has been made to improve computer capabilities and procedures, add…

Peirce, James G.; And Others – 1967
This report describes the tasks and related efforts necessary to convert the present Qualitative Developments Requirements Information (QDRI) Program from a clerical operation into an automated information processing system. A description of the QDRI Program is presented whereby current operations, files, procedures, etc. are contrasted to planned…

Baker, F.T.; And Others – 1966
In order to contribute to the success of several studies for automatic classification, indexing and extracting currently in progress, as well as to further the theoretical and practical understanding of textual item distributions, the development of a frequency program capable of supplying these types of information was undertaken. The program…

Helmuth, Nancy A. – 1971
It is the purpose of this paper to explore the use of extracts by reporting the results of a survey of the current acceptability and use of extracts, by a literature review and by suggesting guidelines for selecting extract material. The survey shows that extracts are currently being used in information services, especially for current awareness.…

Klingbiel, Paul H. – 1971
Progress is reported on the development of a partial syntactic analysis technique for indexing text. Although over 500,000 words of text have been indexed, this report is limited to the analysis of results at the 115,000 word level. There is the expectation that the error rate of commission, the selection of grammatically incorrect word sequences,…

Newell, Allen – 1966
A method for improving the induction of computer programs from human problem solving protocols begins with four steps. The first step requires dividing the protocol into phrases that represent the performer's single assertions about the task or a single act of task oriented behavior. Second, the operators and information constituting single states…

Ross, Ronald G. – AEDS Journal, 1976
Data base management systems, which have significant benefits for data processing in general, can be used to implement effective educational data base systems. These systems, under a concept of multi-node networking, can be implemented in such a way as to achieve decentralized control over information. (Author)

Tressel, George W.; Penniman, W. David – Drexel Library Quarterly, 1975
It seems inevitable that the system requirements imposed by transmission and processing will determine the microform of the future and that it will be a digital recording rather than a picture. (Author)

Marshall, Jon C. – Research in Higher Education, 1987
An examination of a learning style topology through the comparison of information processing and instructional preference toponymies is discussed. It was hypothesized that learning style modes would be discernible within each of these toponymies and that the toponymies would demonstrate orthogonality. Data analyzed for 429 university students…

Klauer, Karl Josef – Teaching and Teacher Education, 1985
A prescriptive theory of teaching based upon an information processing model of human functioning is outlined. Based on teaching functions, defined as necessary conditions of learning, a general teaching algorithm is presented and its use demonstrated. (Author/MT)

Savage, Tom V.; Armstrong, David G. – Social Studies, 1983
Learning depends not only on how information is disseminated but on what learners do with the information once it becomes available to them. Procedures that teachers can use to help students identify processing frameworks (approaches to identifying and organizing information) for individual learning tasks are discussed. (RM)
