An adaptive network model is proposed to represent the structure and processing of knowledge. Accessibility of subjects' stored information was measured. Relationships exist among (a) frequency of verifying a test relation, (b) other relations involving concepts used to evaluate test relation, (c) frequency of verifying those relations. (CHK)

The present article discusses the possibility that behavioral recovery following brain damage is not dependent on the functional reorganization of neural tissue but is rather the result of the continued normal operation of spared neural mechanisms. (Editor)

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

By whatever method, whether we consider ourselves to be involved in training, teaching, or educating, the ultimate objective is the same: to impose new patterns of behavior, new habits, upon the narrow patterns and/or muscle responses of the students. (Author)

Four distinct stages in the learning process are identified, and the roles of teacher and student at each stage are discussed. (SD)

Investigates the transfer effects produced by cued (errorless) and trial-and-error (errorful) learning of a serial motor task. (Author/DEP)

The characteristics of educationally productive work are the learning processes involving (a) the formation of new ideas or innovations of existing ideas; (b) purposeful activity leading from one purpose to another and; (c) socialization of the ideas and the purposes. Suggests programs for education including: adult functional education,…

Considered the academic achievement of underachievers and the part that competition plays in affecting student behavior. (RK)

Three important deficiencies of learning hierarchy validation studies - inadequate scope, inappropriate validation technique and lack of replicative data - were identified, and substantially resolved in the construction and replicate validation of a comprehensive network of graphical interpretation skills. (Editor)

A short, general paper on how computers can enhance the learning process. (HB)

One of the key purposes of leadership education is to influence people's thinking and behavior to become more effective leaders. Leading is about transformation. The intent of double-loop learning is also transformation; the transformation of deeply held perspectives of the world in which we work and act. Double-loop learning can be viewed as a…

Leadership is cast in many roles and, thus, leadership educators may be found in a variety of venues, including youth club organizers, junior high and high school teachers, college professors, student program directors in higher education, community development professionals, military trainers, religious groups, human resource development…

The study compared multiple-list transfer (from three training lists) and single-list transfer (from one training list), with total amount of training held constant (at 3, 12, or 36 trials) and with each A-B' and A'-B training list at the same level of similarity to the transfer list. (Editor)

Of three experiments using a multiple-choice procedure, two were designed to test the hypothesis that unlearning would occur if first-list responses were present as distractors during second-list learning in the A-B, A-C paradigm. (Editor)
