Rooted binary trees with weighted nodes are structures encountered in many areas, such as coding theory, searching and sorting, information storage and retrieval. The path length is a meaningful quantity which gives indications about the expected time of a search or the length of a code, for example. In this paper, two sharp bounds for the total…

Details are given of a seven-diget coding system used to analyze instructional materials in elementary school mathematics. Four variables are analyzed: the first four digits of the code identify a mathematical concept or skill; the fifth digit identifies the highest cognitive level expected of the student in completing the task; the sixth digit…

This article discusses a cataloging and coding system especially designed for language lab courseware. (Author/NCR)

In response to Roger Brown's memorial tribute to Eric Lenneberg, (Cognition, June, 1976), the author disagrees with Brown's conclusion that a Whorfian interpretation of both Lenneberg's and his own results regarding the problem of codability and the recognition of colors, is no longer valid.

This research has three purposes: 1) to determine whether subjects instructed to study silently in a free-recall experiment engage in associative encoding, 2) to test the validity of associative ability as an individual difference variable, 3) to test for an interaction between presentation rate and associative reaction time. (Editor/RK)

Used the Interpersonal Conflict Coding Scheme to examine the conflict expression episode and the conflict resolution episode and to evaluate utterances of six problem-solving groups. Developed interaction profiles of conflict expression and conflict resolution episodes and initial, middle, and final group stages. (RC)

Discusses the use of visual media as symbol systems that gather, package, and convey knowledge. Media's different and often unique symbol systems are looked at as potentially serving as cultivators of mental abilities. Forty-nine references are provided. (Author/CHC)

Discusses two propositions about the preliminary stages of acoustic analysis and encoding in the absence of focal attention. (Editor/RK)

The effects of real-world schemata on recognition of complex pictures were studied. Two kinds of pictures were used: pictures of objects forming real-world scenes and unorganized collections of the same objects. (Editor)

Discusses the intellectual structure of the sciences and describes a study that was conducted to test the usefulness of author cocitation analysis for empirically deriving groupings of intellectual leaders in the field of sociology. Results are contrasted with traditional subjective methods of codification of a field. (35 references) (LRW)

Presents implications of professionally defined "standards of care" for mental-health counseling, and examines the role of the expert witness in the derivation of standards. Managed care has, however, had a greater influence on current clinical practices. The importance of outcome research is discussed. (Author/EMK)
