A discussion of whether the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD) should be applied to children's materials. (PF)

A clustering algorithm which is tree-like in structure, and is based on user queries, is presented. It is compared to some existing algorithms and is found to be superior. (Author)

Clinical studies suggest that A and B therapist "types" may be associated with variation in the process and outcome of psychotherapy. Because of the proliferation of A-B scales, this study attempts to replicate and clarify several scale versions in order to justify their use in future studies. (Author/PC)

A discussion of principles involved in designing a format for SUPERMARC, an international cataloging exchange. (PF)

The technique presented accomodates multiple populations and a mixture of variable types. It is based on the linear discriminant function and the sequential concept. Also presented is an example in which the technique is used to obtain the classification rule to predict the career choices of individuals based upon a mixture of variable types.…

Investigates the hypothesis that, given a broad sampling of subjects from various occupations, typological analysis will yield a limited number of general interest patterns closely resembling the groups suggested by Holland. (Author)

Librarians should take their cue from discographers in the cataloging and classification of music on phonorecords. The basis of the catalog entry cannot always be the work performed as opposed to the record itself. Some modern music dictates an approach that recognizes the record as inseparable from what is on it. (Author/LS)

A critical examination of two key aspects of Piaget's account of how small children come to understand basic number concepts. (Author/CS)

An annotated bibliography on typographic research. (HB)

The article attempts to define more clearly the term "typology," using as its base the work of Skalica. It discusses the particular language characteristics which form the basis of classification of the terms "type" and "class" as they are used in different language typologies. (DH)

A brief discussion of children's perceptions of animate and inanimate objects. It is suggested that studies on child animism must consider the child's criteria used in the classification of animate objects, as well as those used for inanimate objects. (Author/ED)

Psychometric test performances of two groups of school children were analyzed: 80 fourth graders, 40 of whom had been identified by their school district as learning disabled (LD); and 51 children referred for "possible LD placement" and diagnosed LD or not LD by school district personnel applying a severe discrepancy criteria. Results…

Weaknesses in the structure, levels, and sequence of Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive domains emphasize the need for both a new model of how individual learners process information and a new taxonomy of the different levels of memory, thinking, and learning. Both the model and the taxonomy should be consistent with current research findings. The…
