Control of the mechanisms of memory may eventually come to pass, thanks to ingenious new research with goldfish and rats. (Editor)

By implanting wires in the brain and stimulating it electrically, a Madrid scientist is hoping to perfect a means for therapeutic control of aberrant human behavior. (Editor)

The operation of a covert information processing mechanism was investigated in two experiments of the self-persuasion phenomena; i. e., making an inference about a stimulus on the basis of one's past behavior. (Editor)

The paper for which an abstract is presented here, "Future Network Architectures" (Anthony Rutowski), discussed innovations in processing/switching and transmission technologies, including the development of new broadband optical transfer modes using label and position multiplexing techniques. It is suggested that future network…

The present study was designed to identify sources of information in the human face and to determine how this information is processed by young children in solving problems. (ST)

The computational model of question answering proposed by a computer program, QUALM, is a theory of conceptual information processing based on models of human memory organization. It has been developed from the perspective of natural language processing in conjunction with story understanding systems. The processes in QUALM are divided into four…

Useful for individuals who require fairly detailed knowledge of reading academy information processing, this collection includes the following forms: client referral, client application and information, tutor volunteer application, contract, attendance record, client assessment, tutor/volunteer instruction, evaluation, exit, personnel, material…

The present investigation sought to obtain further evidence to show that the difference between male and female subjects is not simply a matter of persuasibility but a difference in the way objective (male) and emotional (female) information processing systems respond to audience cues. (Author)

Several museum information processing systems are discussed in relation to their underlying assumptions regarding museum information and networking needs that have resulted in inadequate service to some kinds of museums, particularly historical museums. Rather than any of these systems, a modular approach is proposed that would allow each museum…

This examination of abstracting-indexing services for the field of history focuses on Historical Abstracts (HA) and America--History and Life (AHL), and their relationship to the American Bibliographical Center's Subject Profile Index (ABC-SPIndex). The history, scope, selection criteria, and classification arrangements of the two databases are…

THE EFFECTS OF FAMILIARITY ON THE PROCESSING OF STIMULUS AND MEMORIAL INFORMATION WERE INVESTIGATED IN TWO TASKS--ONE WHICH SUPPOSEDLY REQUIRED ONLY THE PERCEPTUAL RECOGNITION OF EACH STIMULUS WORD (E TASK) AND ONE WHICH REQUIRED A MEANINGFUL CATEGORIZATION OF EACH STIMULUS WORD (C TASK). FIFTY UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN UNDERGRADUATES WHO WERE PAID…
