Names of cities were shock associated and then embedded in material presented to the nonattended channel in a dichotic listening and shadowing situation. A test for conditioning followed the dichotic listening task. Comparisons are made with other studies of galvanic skin responses to unattended words. (Editor/RK)

When shown a pair of digits and asked to select the larger of the two, subjects make their choice more quickly as the numerical difference between the digits increases. Presents and tests a semantic coding model that can explain this and all previous results. (Editor)

The basic question asked in this research was whether it is possible, through training, to influence a subject's preference for encoding a particular attribute. (Author/RK)

Describes the early years of one purpose-built middle school. (Editor)

Effectively integrating tests into the counseling process is often a difficult problem for counselors. Flow chart models that systematically describe and analyze the counselor's functioning can be an aid in resolving this difficulty. This article describes and explains the technique of flow charting.

The role of differential rehearsal opportunity in the free recall of remember- (R) and forget- (F) cued words was investigated as a function of the method of presentation. (Editor)

Discussion of the Instructional Systems Development (ISD) model for developing instructional materials focuses on a computer program that integrates the tasks of course mapping, flowcharting, storyboarding, screen layout, and testing for courseware development. Authoring is practically eliminated, resulting in a significant time savings.…

Describes a flexible planning process for developing computer based instruction (CBI) in which the CBI design is implemented on paper between the lesson design and the program production. A four-stage model is explained, including (1) an initial flowchart, (2) storyboards, (3) a detailed flowchart, and (4) an evaluation. (16 references)…

This paper presents five designs (three one-group and two two-group) which can be effectively employed to study computer-based methods in non-laboratory settings, including actual classroom implementation, where a non-treatment control design may not be feasible. These designs are sequential analysis, value-added analysis, non-equivalent dependent…

Outlines the context of the issues currently facing a complex university and some of the tools and techniques for manpower planning available at the institutional level. (Author)
