Endpoint and distance effects have been observed in the protocols of subjects learning linear orderings. These were produced by subjects learning the frequency of word occurrence as the greater member of a relationship. Error patterns were similar on all trials. (CHK)

A theoretical discussion of analogy formation and differentiation in language learning, followed by teaching hints on the German nominative case, stressing progressively increasing difficulty in the "analogical" and "differentiating" exercises. (Text is in German.) (IFS/WGA)

A remedial approach involving review, contrast, and re-review for remedying second language learners' errors is suggested. (RM)

Describes a non-credit tutorial course held for engineering students to improve their skill in problem solving. In the group sessions, each student writes his approach to a given problem on a transparency; the class then analyzes the various approaches while viewing them on overhead projectors. (MLH)

Discusses concerns about the conceptualization of the problems and potential benefits related to the bicultural learning situation. Presents ideas for helping to build a conceptual framework to tackle the questions posed. [Available from CAE, 1703 New Hampshire Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20009]. (Author/AM)
