Summers, Walter Van; Horton, David L. – 1984
This study investigates the influence on sentence encoding of activating appropriate contextual knowledge. A group of 72 undergraduate students randomly assigned to four treatment groups read and were later asked to recognize sentences from a passage. In one group, subjects were told nothing about the passage from which the sentence was taken. In…

Frederiksen, Norman – 1983
Cognitive theories of problem solving and suggestions made by cognitive psychologists regarding how to teach problem solving are reviewed. Theories and suggestions from creativity research are also considered. The results are summarized in terms of a description of how high levels of proficiency in problem solving are acquired and how problem…

Rychlak, Joseph F. – Child Development, 1975
Describes a group method for determining the influence of reinforcement on a child's recognition learning. Subjects were found to recognize designs and abstract paintings which they had idiographically prejudged as positive in reinforcement value more readily than those which they had prejudged as megative. (ED)

McClelland, James L.; Rumelhart, David E. – 1980
This report is the first in a two-part series introducing an interactive activation model of context effects in perception. A model for the perception of letters in words and other contexts is described and applied to a number of experiments. It is proposed that the model accounts for (1) the perceptual advantage for letters in words compared to…

Rumelhart, David E.; McClelland, James L. – 1980
This report is the second in a two-part series introducing an interactive activation model of context effects in perception. In the first part, a model for the perception of letters in words and other contexts was described and applied to a number of experiments. This second part applies the same model to a number of new experiments designed to…

Cassel, Thomas Z. K.; Sander, Louis W. – 1975
This research project was designed to determine whether 1-week-old neonates would indicate biological recognition of their mothers. Biological recognition is defined as the particular configuration of sensory, kinesthetic, and motor cues and the temporal patterning of these cues which characterizes infants' exchange processes with their…

Clark, Michal C. – 1972
The paper is an en route version of a technical report which will ultimately present a process model of transfer that will be usable in the design of instructional programs. Consequently, it is a progress report with respect to the formulation of that model. (LI 004 279 and 004 280 are related documents) (Author)
