This paper provides an exposition on simple and complex comparisons within the framework of Poisson regression. Poisson regression is well suited for the analysis of event count outcomes. Since simple and complex comparisons with both analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple linear regression (MLR) are common, the similarities between Poisson…

Compares creativity measures for three groups of students: teacher-nominated, peer-nominated, and control. Teachers were more effective in recognizing creativity than peers. Peer nominees were less alienated than the other groups. (DR)

This study investigates proactive inhibition (PI) under conditions of multiple trial free recall (MFTR). The question of theoretical interest concerns the mechanisms of interference that influence response recall per se. (Authors)

This volume contains the five major addresses and subsequent discussion from the Symposium on the General Linear Models Approach to the Analysis of Experimental Data in Educational Research, which was held in 1967 in Athens, Georgia. The symposium was designed to produce systematic information, including new methodology, for dissemination to the…

The "CSE Program Evaluation Kit" is a series of nine books intended to assist people conducting program evaluations. This volume, the third in the kit, discusses the logic underlying the use of quantitative research designs, including the pretest-posttest design, and supplies step-by-step procedures for setting up and interpreting the…

Results show that while performance is lower when test and study contexts differ, repetition produces substantial improvement in recognition irrespective of the test context; learning appears to be context free. (Author)

Three studies are reported which investigated the role of four variables in semantic generalization: Intentional versus Incidental learning instructions, associative and semantic relationships of the generalization stimuli (GSs) to the critical stimuli (CrSs), and rate of CrS presentation. (Author)

Undergraduate engineering students should become intimately involved in three principal dimensions of engineering: analysis, synthesis and experimentation. (Editor)

Methods of assessing effect size and the flows that limit their usefulness are discussed. The various statistical procedures for estimating variance accounted for are based on different statistical models producing sharply differing results. The methods reflect too greatly the particular study characteristics and hence have limited…

Two experiments investigated word-frequency effects with modified recall and recognition testing conditions. The procedural modifications included introducing partial copy cues and including irrelevant partial copy cues (distractor cues) in recall, and eliminating distractors from recognition tests. Words with high background frequency (HF) were…

The present study was concerned with demonstrating that schedule of knowledge of results may enhance resistance to extinction" on the pursuit rotor in a manner analogous to the partial reinforcement effect in conditioning. (Author)

Describes an activity designed to introduce concepts of randomness and standard deviation. (CP)

The results of the experiments reported here are in support of the hypothesis that visual and aural presentation lead to different forms of storage and/or retrieval. They are not consistent with models of human memory in which short-term storage is restricted exclusively to an auditory-verbal-linguistic process. (Author)
