Argues that literature should have a place in the language learning process. Since colloquial and literary styles overlap, it is felt that the two styles should not remain separated in actual life. (Text is in German.) (IFS/WGA)

The author illustrates and discusses some critical barrier phenomena, such as the optics of mirrors and heat and cold, which most people have difficulty extending beyond an everyday understanding. (Author/MA)

Attempts "to look through the microscope" to try to understand how consciousness--or mind--comes into existence. And with mind, how language, the notion of truth, logic, mathematics and the sciences have come into the world. (Author/RK)

A Markov model was proposed to account for the short-term retention of the spatial arrangement of letters. The model was fit to three spatial location recall conditions in experiments which differed in distractor task. The rate of information transfer from primary to secondary memory was affected by changes in distractor task. (SW)

The viewpoint is advanced that induction is a determing factor in the way knowledge is acquired and that in the acquisition of a language and the development of knowledge this process plays a crucial role. (JD)

There is both intuitive and hard evidence which suggests that the quality of human learning has been shaped by evolution, biology, and genetics. Consideration of genetic argument applied to learning processes, however, leads to models of education more optimistic about the role of schooling than those derived from a genetic abilities-based theory.…

The performance of poor readers and control children (grades one, three, and five) was compared on an incidental learning task involving short-term memory. (IM)

Suggests that qualitative studies of how knowledge becomes organized and retrieved over long periods of time would be of great interest not only as a more naturalistic counterpart to the laboratory experiments on memory, but also for education generally. (Author/AM)

Author contends that much dissatisfaction and alienation surrounding schools stems partly from their failure to have matched their curricula to the various developmental stages through which all students must pass. Articulation attempts to balance the right educational environment to the student's level of development and four basic learning…

A technique that can be used to study the effects of low-level, rote, repetitive (Type I) rehearsal is introduced and validated. The technique is then used to investigate the relationship between the amount of Type I rehearsal and recognition memory performance. (Author/RM)

The intent of this paper is to review studies and research endeavors concerned with the consequences of Native Americans from traditional Plains cultures participating in formal American education systems. (JC)

The author summarizes achievements of face-to-face learning linked with the use of broadcasts and printed materials as effective ways to promote adult education and national development. Unsolved problems include effective program length, feedback mechanisms, and the role of extension agents. (Author/AV)

Authors reassert the view that the essence of teaching and learning lies in creative encounters between individual students and teachers. (Editor/RK)
