THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AN INTEREST-MOTIVATED METHOD OF INSTRUCTION IN REMEDIAL ENGLISH WAS EVALUATED. ALL STUDENTS INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT WERE PERSONS WHO HAD GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE LOWER 40 PERCENT OF THEIR CLASSES. THEY WERE ADMITTED TO COLLEGE ON A PROBATIONARY BASIS. EIGHT GROUPS OF STUDENTS WERE INVOLVED. FOUR GROUPS WERE…

The objectives of this study were (a) to examine the dimensionality of the Thorndike Dimensions of Temperament (TDOT) when administered in a single stimulus form; and (b) to test a set of hypotheses relative to the constructs measured in the TDOT. (Author/RK)

The major concern of the present experiment was to determine whether increased covert rehearsal is the sole cause of the release from proactive interference in short-term memory. (Editor)

Describes the SOCRATES Computer-Assisted Test Retrieval system available to the faculty and students of the California State University and Colleges. (Author/IRT)

Focuses on developing a systematic characterization of the error forms resulting from model misspecification in single equation models for least squares regression analyses. (Author/DEP)

This study determined if trials on a concept learning task could be analyzed, using multiple learning curves, to generate a family of curves which would clarify differences in methods of attaining concepts. (RC)

Q factor analysis is found appropriate for use in clinical or educational situations where available typologies or scales seem inadequate, where the psychological dynamics of learning or treatment are not well understood, or where it is desirable to avoid anticipating the precise direction and character of program impact. (Author/BJG)

Take a scientific approach to the use of psychological testing in business and industry, and analyze jobs carefully as an important part of setting up a testing program. The article offers a step-by-step procedure for testing employees, analyzing results, and deciding whether the test is useful or not. (Author/AJ)

Discusses the problems that arise in test situations when some, but not all, students use electronic calculators and poses some solutions to these problems. (MLH)

Alabama's laboratory certification program ensures that water quality control and testing methods are in compliance with the Safe Water Drinking Act. (BB)

Answer changes on tests are more likely to be made on items early in a group of questions, toward the end of a test, and on difficult items. The reasons for this student behavior are examined. (Editor/JD)

The effects of the violation of the assumption of normality in the conditional distributions of the dependent variable, coupled with the condition of multicollinearity upon the outcome of testing the hypothesis that the regression coefficient equals zero, are investigated via a Monte Carlo study. (Author/JKS)

Path analysis is a data analytic technique for estimating the strengths of hypothesized relationships among a group of variables for a particular sample. Strategies for the use of path analysis are discussed in detail in this extensive article. (JKS)

The article discusses the special techniques required for deaf-blind children. (DLS)
