Selkirk, Keith – Mathematics in School, 1973
A mathematical model of a soccer-league competition results is set up and investigated using simple randomization techniques. The hypothesis that winning the league championship was purely luck was statistically tested. (JP)

Tzeng, Ovid J. L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Study suggested that a new research orientation be followed, that is, in addition to studying to learn the investigator of memory should start to establish the empirical laws of learning to forget. (Editor/RK)

von Wright, J. M. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1973
The main purpose of the present experiment was to study whether the lack of correlation between verbal recall and accuracy of visual recognition of the same, visually presented objects in adult Ss also is characteristic of the performance of young children, or whether results supporting a differentiation hypothesis would be found.

Gross, Alan L. – Psychometrika, 1973
Expressions for the expected value, density, and distribution function (DF) of GS (gain from selection) are derived and studied in terms of sample size, number of predictors, and the prior distribution assigned to the population multiple correlation. (Author/RK)

Romberg, Thomas A.; Shepler, Jack – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1973
Tests were given after instruction in probability and four weeks later to 25 sixth graders. Correlation between achievement scores for each student was .78. Retention ratios for individuals, total tests, each objective, and each item indicated high initial performance may contribute to high retention. (Author/DT)
