Overview: Behavioural data reveal an inverted U-shaped function in the efficiency of prospective memory from childhood to young adulthood to later adulthood.

This study uses a qualitative case study approach to examine the workplace information practices of a blue-collar worker--a…

Kassiola, Joel J. – College Teaching, 2007
This article argues that the dominant invidious segmentation in American higher education between universities designated as "research" institutions and those relegated to "teaching" status is both erroneous and deleterious. Moreover, the trend of increasing research activities at master's institutions is not, as followers of the current…
