Using a network of comparisons, B. Hayes-Roth and F. Hayes-Roth found that subjects performed better on adjacent than on nonadjacent comparisons. Results suggested that such networks are processed in a manner fundamentally different from simple linear arrays. Here subjects were required to learn a similar knowledge structure. These results…

Study attempted to specify two complementary aspects of children's inferential size judgments within the context of Piaget's theory. (Authors)

Results indicate that Ss expectancy for a given test stimulus probability, has its effect on the encoding or decision stage of the memory-scanning process. (Authors)

A significant positive correlation between multiple classification was found, in testing 65 children aged 6 to 8 years, at the stage of concrete operations. This is interpreted as support for the existence of a structure d'ensemble of operational schemes in the period of concrete operations. (Authors)

Purpose of this study was to determine whether instructional sequencing would affect learning from a logical structure when certain artifacts, which may have operated in previous studies, were removed. (Authors)

The sentence-picture comparison task requires Ss to decide, as quickly as possible, whether a sentence correctly describes a feature of a picture. (Author)

On the basis of experimental data, the author makes the following observations: (1) the basic encoding processes in speech, the schemas of order, first produce elementary underlying sentences; (2) underlying sentence structure is the controlling step in the organization of speech; (3) underlying sentence structure plays a central role in…
