This report summarizes the capabilities of five computer programs at Yale that do automatic natural language processing as of the end of 1976. For each program an introduction to its overall intent is given, followed by the input/output, a short discussion of the research underlying the program, and a prognosis for future development. The programs…

The effects of stress associated with the administration of four commonly used tests of personality and intellectual assessment on measures of state and trait anxiety were assessed. (Author/BJG)

THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THE VARIABLES OF INTELLIGENCE, LEARNING TASK PERFORMANCE, EMOTIONAL TENSION, AND TASK MOTIVATION WERE STUDIED. ABOUT 120 BRIGHT, NORMAL, AND RETARDED CHILDREN PERFORMED SIX TRIALS OF NUMBER LEARNING, CONCEPT FORMATION, PROBLEM SOLVING, PERCEPTUAL-MOTOR COORDINATION, AND VERBAL LEARNING TASKS.

AN INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED (1) TO DEVISE A NUMBER OF LABORATORY MEASURES OF INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INTERFERENCE EFFECTS IN LEARNING AND (2) TO DETERMINE THEIR DIMENSIONALITY IN A VARIETY OF INTERFERENCE EFFECTS. SUBJECTS WERE 530 STUDENTS IN INTRODUCTORY COURSES IN EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,…

AS A PHASE OF A STUDY OF THE SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF ABILITY TESTING, A NATIONAL STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLE OF 1,482 ADULTS WAS INTERVIEWED. OF THE RESPONDENTS, 59 PERCENT REPORTED AT LEAST ONE EXPERIENCE WITH A TEST OF APTITUDE OR INTELLIGENCE. WHILE THEY SAID THEY WERE RELATIVELY WELL INFORMED ABOUT TEST RESULTS THEY CONSIDERED SUCH TESTS AS LESS…

It is proposed that both curiosity and intelligence are necessary but not sufficient conditions for creative production. Research literature is discussed concerning curiosity as a motivational construct (a state of arousal), and as a personality trait, supporting the notion that curiosity is necessary to creativity. Research relating intelligence…

This paper explores the use of learning as a practical tool in problem solving. The idea that learning should and eventually will be a vital component of most Artificial Intelligence programs is pursued. Current techniques in learning systems are compared. A detailed discussion of the problems of representing, modifying, and creating heuristics is…

The basic problem under investigation was the determination of empirical relationships between two models, developed by Piaget and Loyola University and employed in the assessment of cognitive processes in a problem solving context. Among objectives explored were: (1) investigation of the sensitivity of the intelligence test in distinguishing…

Two groups of three autistic children, equated for chronological age (mean=49 months) but differing in IQ and performance MA, were observed for 20-minute sessions to examine the effects of environmental stimuli on stereotypic behavior. (Author/SBH)
