Assesses the influence of rehearsal on recognition reaction times for items from target lists of a length exceeding the span of immediate memory. Also determines what effect, if any, the length of the target list has on recognition latencies that involve only retrieval from inactive memory. (Author/RK)

Investigation by researchers into television viewing indicates that cognitive learning is supported, that affective learning is affected both positively and negatively, and that social impact is yet to be conclusively determined. (Author/MJB)

It is hoped that from learners' faulty use of the foreign language, clues may be found for foreign language teaching. Some "factors" are examined: negative transfer, learning and communication strategies, over-generalization. Also discussed are ways of dealing with various errors. (Text is in German.) (IFS/WGA)

Suggests a number of principles for planning "concomitant instruction," teaching outside the schools by means of television, highway historical markers, cereal-box copy, and other devices that instruct incidentally while performing their chief, noneducational function. (Author)

Thirty subjects were presented with a visual form discrimination task requiring them to match Roman letters when a variety of transformations were held constant. They were given massed practice across four blocks of eight stimuli. Results of a repeated measures analysis of variance showed support for the distinctive features hypothesis. (JC)

Deciphering the learning mechanism which exists in man remains to be solved. This article examines the learning process with respect to association and cybernetics. It is recommended that research should focus on the transdisciplinary processes of learning which could become the next key concept in the science of man. (Author/MA)

Suggests that instructional theory is possible, but it should concern itself only with narrowly circumscribed local instructional situations, relatively small chunks of curriculum for relatively small segments of the educational population. (Author/AM)

These experiments attempt to optimize the possibility of demonstrating blocking in a taste-aversion paradigm and to elucidate the conditions under which this interference occurs. (Author/RK)

To complement investigations of the direct effects of lithium toxicosis on consummatory behavior, these experiments were designed to determine the aftereffects on drinking of exposure to a conditioned stimulus previously paired with lithium. (Author/RK)

In four different experiments, brief illumination of a localized visual stimulus was followed by grain presentation unless the pigeon approached the light. Results indicate that although response-reinforcer relations do play a role, stimulus-reinforcer contingencies are the dominant factor in establishing and maintaining approaches to the…

Reports bita-Adrenergic antagonists injected into rats trained in a passive avoidance task produced time-dependent and dose-dependent decreases in retention of the task. Results were stereospecific and reversed by norepinephrine. (SL)

The first part of this research study examines how elementary students discover and understand certain relationships in nature. The second part investigates how pupils operate with overlapping concepts. (Author/RM)

A research study examined how elementary school children learn music. Among the findings is that any musical activity is impossible without the development of musical auditory images. (Author/RM)

Overlearning is important in retention and relearning by mentally retarded boys. (MM)

The aim of the tennis instructor is to help students learn at rates that match their potentials; individual differences must be considered and teaching methods adjusted to as many different students as possible. (JD)
