Discusses general aspects of nomenclature for functional derivatives of the inorganic oxo acids. (SL)

Presents a conceptual framework for classifying and evaluating different comparative advertising formats on two multi-level dimensions. Provides examples of applicable research questions. (RL)

Bloom's work on the taxonomy of educational objectives has been used by the Association of Indian Universities in conducting workshops and seminars on question-banking organized by several universities in India. An experimental application in a professional development course is described briefly. (LBH)

Discusses the nomenclature of functional derivatives of organic and inorganic oxo acids. Also introduces a pattern of nomenclature called insertion or infix nomenclature. (SL)

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…

A study of 1,423 respondents in northwest Wisconsin shows that age, education, and place of residence appear to account for the variation in environmental concern, with no significant remaining effect accounted for by any of the types of recreation considered by Dunlap and Heffernan in their 1975 study. (Author/JC)

The author argues that by ignoring evolutionary considerations, the intelligence testing movement has precluded continued development, and in order to regain momentum it must engage in theoretical and empirical research to accommodate those considerations. (MB)

This study examined first graders' use of strategic behavior (looking more during study and categorizing during study) in response to perceiving instructions versus remembering instructions. (BRT)

Among the phenomena covered are superstitious behavior, learned helplessness, experimental neurosis, anaclitic depression as a result of maternal separation, and physiological disturbances such as ulceration. (Author/AM)

This study examined the variability of classification by the Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFF) as a function of grade level medians. MFF classification was highly dependent upon which sample medians were used. Analysis revealed for the majority (65 percent) of children, change in classification was due to change in the median error cutoff.…

Identification, differential diagnosis, and treatment evaluation of emotionally disturbed preschoolers by practitioners are considered. Emphasis is on the need for defining disorders in terms of: (1) a broad normative context to assist general reporting within the profession; and (2) specific settings to provide the information necessary for…

Critically evaluates recent research aimed at empirical identification of homogeneous subtypes of learning disability. It is suggested that researchers strive for more commonality in the methods and measures used for subtype analysis leading to a single classification scheme to reduce heterogeneity and improve educational efforts. (Author/DB)

Presents a computer interpretation of the consistencies as well as inadequacies of grammar rules in changing singular forms to plural. A correlative algorithm is discussed for the purpose of enhancing the present logical system of changing singulars to plurals. (TR)

Vocalizations of infants were classified and analyzed in a longitudinal sample of infants ranging in age from 2 to 14 weeks. Results suggest that infants performed different types of vocalizations that can be interpreted as affective states from 2 weeks of age on. Parents responded with a highly diversified pattern of reactions to different infant…
