Peer reviewedByrne, Richard – Cognition, 1977
Planning the menu for a dinner party, which involves problem-solving with a large body of knowledge, is used to study the daily operation of human memory. Verbal protocol analysis, a technique devised to investigate formal problem-solving, is examined theoretically and adapted for analysis of this task. (Author/MV)

Peer reviewedJeffries, Robin; And Others – Cognitive Psychology, 1977
The water jug task model was extended to four variations of the Missionaries--Cannibals river-crossing problem. Different cover stories resulted in large differences in number of illegal moves, but no difference in number of legal moves to solution. The three-stage process model explains both legal and illegal moves. (Author/GDC)

Authority-task problems are organizational problems created by inconsistencies between the task process system and both the authority system and the formal hierarchy of offices. A new theory is used to develop a model that predicts how an administrator responds to an authority-task problem. (Author/IRT)

Ninety-six males participated in four-man teams involved in a complex decision making task. Subteams with differing functions but equal rank were established. Subteams either were or were not physically separated during the tasks. Group cohesiveness was not effected, but subteam task satisfaction differences were greatest when subteams remained…
