Describes a mathematics program designed to enable students to feel secure in learning a subject that is often confusing. (RK)

Two theoretical models of visual attention and contingent learning were presented to provide a framework for the consideration of how observed individual differences in infant behavior may interact with nonsocial stimuli and caretaker-mediated stimuli to influence the individual's development of patterns of visual attention and contingency…

The purpose of this study was to investigate, both empirically and theoretically, the manner in which human Ss (might) learn to estimate relative frequencies of nine different outcomes of an uncertain event on the basis of a random sequence of event occurences. (Author)

Author compares his philosophy on training which heheld twelve years ago with that he believes currently. (RK)

Considers the philosophy underlying learning and needs in adult education. (RK)

Analyzes the nature of the learning process and attempts to show how the three components of a reinforcement contingency, the stimulus, the response and the reinforcement can be utilized to increase the efficiency of a typical science learning experience, the excursion. (JR)

Results suggest that the strategy of deliberately concentrating one's study activities on the less well mastered segments of materials to be learned, like other elementary memory strategies (e. g., rote rehearsal), cannot automatically be assumed to be part of a young child's repertoire of learning techniques. (Authors)

Studies support the hypothesis that images aroused by discreet verbal stimuli can be integrated into complex images with the result that: (a) storage capacity requirements are reduced, and (b) recall of one component of the image leads to effective redintegration of the rest. (JB)

This study finds homogeneity of belief systems within teams, as well as between team and leader, is significantly related to team morale. (Author/JN)

Reviews social scientific research indicating that it may be wrong to teach the poor to tolerate delayed gratification. (JM)

Research supported by grants from the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Educational Testing Service; examines the psychological validity of Fillmore's theory of case grammar. (DD)

Discusses the cognitive consequences of education, and reviews evidence which supports the hypothesis that differences in the social organization of education promote differences in the organization of learning and thinking skills in the individual. Proposes that new accommodations are needed between school-based learning and learning experiences…

Using the Topic of electromagnets as an example, describes how science teachers can benefit from the work of Hilda Taba and her co-workers in the area of instructional design and in classroom techniques for developing concepts. (JR)
