Studied relationships between behavioral performances in cognitive and affective domains for 28 high school biology classes with instruction at three different levels. Analyses of students' test scores illustrated the presence of a possible inverse relationship between the cognitive and affective development. (CC)

Studies based on an analysis of one species of learning and transfer task, the transposition problem, in terms of two ways in which the experimenter's and the child's definition may differ. (Author)

The central purposes of this study were to discover whether musically unsophisticated seventh grade pupils could be taught to keep track of the unfolding forms of unfamiliar minuets and movements in sonata-allegro form, and the extent to which successful tracking is related to the observation of briefer musical elements.

This article describes some of the progress of a research program stressing the need for the development of reinforcement principles in education, the need for behavior analysis, and the need for wider utilization of learning principles. (Author/RK)

Results indicated that Piagetian developmental level significantly predicted problem-solving performance, whereas level of field independence did not appear to clarify individual differences in a meaningful way. (Author)

There is little definitive research to support coeducational grouping as the optimal grouping pattern for first grade boys and girls. (Authors)

A theoretical framework stemming from the evolutionary psychology of Herbert Spencer, along with two experiments with young children as subjects, are presented. (Authors)

Authors interpret the evidence from the three experiments to mean that highly cognitively structured small-group activities have positive effects upon cognitive development, at least for a relatively short period of time. (Authors)

Subjects were Zambian elementary school children, ages 7-17, providing evidence of weight conservation behavior and those who did not; principal dependent variable was performance on locally-developed psychometric measures of reasoning ability. Very little connection was found between the conservation-status of the subjects and their performance…
