Suggests that future pedagogy should search for methods to develop conscious thinking and to connect detailed learning with creative, utility-oriented human activities. Different pedagogical forms should be applied to a greater extent in universities and ordinary adult education. (JOW)

The current state of research on language learning processes is reviewed, and the implications of that research for language arts teachers are discussed. (HTH)

Summarizes research findings on relationships among modality strengths, learning, and personal characteristics. (Author/MLF)

The idea was explored that different subjects may use qualitatively different encoding strategies with the same information presented within the same experimental situation. The premise was also studied that different strategies may be evoked by subtle differences in advance instructions or in the context of the task. (Author/MH)

Conditioning was established for the two most developmentally advanced Ss, and the intermediate pair showed different patterns of orienting response to the conditioned stimulus but no evidence of conditioning. The fifth and most developmentally delayed child did not respond to the stimuli. Journal Availability: J. B. Lippincott Co., East…

Pedagogy assumes that the education of children and adults is essentially the same. Andragogy takes the view that adults and children learn in different ways. In lieu of these polarized concepts, educators need to approach human learning as a matter of degree, not kind, recognizing the similarities as well as the differences between learning…

This paper describes an apparatus used in motor control and memory research. (MM)

Practical suggestions are given for teaching German students two difficult problems in French grammar, including structuring the material to be learned and acclimating the student to the foreign structure. (IFS/WGA)

Investigates the manner in which the drawings of young people are influenced by outside sources, the role imitation plays in the process of learning to draw, and how images are developed, modified, and adopted. (Author/RK)

Three reaction time (RT) experiments using a modified Strenberg procedure were conducted to determine the number of memory representations maintained for perceptual (dot-pattern) concepts. (Editor)

A list discrimination paradigm was used to examine the effects of orienting tasks upon the later temporal discrimination of words. The orienting task involved judgments about the relatedness of the words in a list to some concept. (Editor)

This article explores qualitative differences in what is learned and described functional differences in the process of learning which gave rise to the qualitative differences in outcome. (Author/RK)

This paper reports a series of studies in the development of a Study Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) for use with university students. It attempted to determine optimal ways of combining SBQ item scores: by sorting people's responses to items (R-analysis), or by sorting items on the basis of how they discriminate between people (Q-analysis).…
