Procedures using calculators are described for determining the recurring sequence of digits in the decimal representation of numbers of the form 1/n. (MN)

Development of the relation between skills of visual and auditory pattern classification was studied at the second grade, sixth grade, and adult age levels using visual and auditory representations of the same abstract information. Results showed evidence of common processing of pattern class structure for the modalities, patterns, prototypes, and…

Morphological and orthographic spelling-pattern abstraction was studied by administering multiple-choice tests; one of nonsense words, one of real words, and a dictation test of nonsense words to 20 good and 20 poor spellers at each grade level from two to five. (Author/JMB)

Examines developmental change in 4- 7- and 10-month-old infants' perceptions of correlations among attributes to determine whether relational information plays a role in abilities ranging from the perception and recognition of a simple pattern to the formation of a category. (HOD)

Four answers to a probability problem involving a perceived coincidence are discussed. (MNS)

In a study which required college students to learn to recognize four flexible plastic shapes photographed on different backgrounds from different angles, the importance of a context-rich environment for the learning and recognition of visual patterns was illustrated. (Author)

Details two experiments that deal with the questions: Does organization influence recognition performance? and Does recognition involve search and retrieval? (GB)

Data confirmed the difficulties which some African populations encounter when dealing with this type of task. (Author/MB)

Results were interpreted in terms of current conceptions of age differences in information-processing speed. (Author)

It is hoped that in its role as a conversational programming language for the layman who wants to learn about text analysis, SCAN will fill a gap in the range of available programming tools. (MB)

Proposes an approach to the design of certain portions of a machine for the analysis and recognition of handwriting. Measures the displacement, velocity, acceleration of handwriting movements, and the writing pressure of the pencil point. Appendix and references. (VJ)

The abstracts obtained so far are of sufficiently good quality to indicate that large-scale testing of the methods of the automatic abstracting system is warranted. (Author/MM)
