Sequential analysis is discussed as an educational tool and experiments in educational uses of this method are described. (Text is in German.) (Author/AM)

If biochemical substrates and mechanisms could be identified, progress might be made in the detection and remediation of certain learning and memory disabilities. "Memory transfer" or "behavioral bioassay" methodology is a new technique developed for this purpose. It uses the behavior recipient animals to detect whatever…

SIX EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES AND ONE SURVEY IN INSTRUCTIONAL TELEVISION ARE COMBINED AND SUMMARIZED TO SHOW AREAS FOR SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION OF TELEVISION TO THE TRAINING OF MILITARY PERSONNEL, AND AREAS REQUIRING FURTHER RESEARCH. A SUMMARY OF RESULTS SHOWS TELEVISION TO BE AS EFFECTIVE OR MORE SO THAN REGULAR INSTRUCTION. HOWEVER, HIGH INITIAL…

TOGETHER THESE ESSAYS PROVIDE AN INSIGHT INTO THE PURPOSES OF BOTH THOSE WHO SEEK INNOVATION AND THOSE WHO RESIST IT, A SUMMARY OF RECENT INNOVATIONS CURRENTLY IN OPERATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION, AN ANALYSIS OF THE PROCESSES AND PROBLEMS OF…

THE LINC COMPUTER PROVIDES A PARTICULAR SCHEDULE OF REINFORCEMENT FOR BEHAVIORAL EXPERIMENTS BY EXECUTING A SEQUENCE OF COMPUTER OPERATIONS IN CONJUNCTION WITH A SPECIALLY DESIGNED INTERFACE. THE INTERFACE IS THE MEANS OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE EXPERIMENTAL CHAMBER AND THE COMPUTER. THE PROGRAM AND INTERFACE OF AN EXPERIMENT INVOLVING A PIGEON…

IN TYPICAL MCLUHAN STYLE, THE AUTHOR OF THIS WORKING PAPER TRACES HISTORICAL-CULTURAL TRANSITIONS FROM PHONETIC ALPHABET TECHNOLOGY TO MEDIA OF THE NEW ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY. THESE MEDIA ARE VIEWED AS EXTENSIONS OF MAN'S SENSES, AND AS LANGUAGES THEMSELVES, WHOSE ONLY CONTENT ARE OTHER MEDIA. EACH MEDIUM (E.G. SPEECH, WRITING, PRINT, PHOTOGRAPHY,…

This manual provides numerous experiments for college-level microbiology students illustrating the basic principles in phage, tissue culture, and animal virology. (CS)
