A method is developed for estimating the response time distribution of an unobserved component in a two-component serial model. The estimate of the component's density function is constrained to be only unimodal and non-negative. Numerical examples suggest the method can yield reasonably accurate estimates with sample sizes of 300. (Author/CTM)

The author discusses the benefits of modeling (simulated experience where actual situations are reduced to manageable outcomes) and provides examples of how industrial arts educators can use modeling as a practical method of instruction. (JOW)

A step-by-step technique to alter stock composition teeth and create simulated carious conditions that are ideal or otherwise is presented. The procedures provide the student with life-like lesions, suitable in texture and location and similar to conditions found in the oral cavity. (MLW)

A child abuse analog was created by placing an adult in a frustrating teaching situation with a child. Failure was programed regardless of the adult's efforts. Intensity of responses to the child's signals of success and failure, particularly responses to signals of failure, increased without the adult's awareness. (Author/DB)

Recommends that group dynamics factors in simulation and gaming be given more consideration, and suggests some possible applications of knowledge in group dynamics when designing and using games. (CMV)

The results substantiate Williamson's hypothesis that the M-form of organization is superior to the U-form of organization. For each of the two levels of decomposability of technology, the M-form yields higher profit solutions than the U-form. (Author/IRT)

Discusses ways to teach word processing without equipment expenditures. These include development of basic secretarial skills, machine transcription skills, and supervisory skills; and use of model office simulations. (SK)

This article details the usefulness of instructional simulation models in making abstract economic concepts concrete and observable. (CJ)

Males and females participated in a coalition formation procedure by interacting with a computer program that simulated a pachisi game situation. Female partner preference data supported a weighted probability model of coalition formation over a bargaining theory. Male partner preference data did not support either theory. (Author)

Describes the use of EXPER SIM (experimental simulation) as an instructional tool in speech communication research. Several sample models are offered along with a discussion of the advantages and drawbacks of using the computer for social science research. (JMF)

Computer simulation was used to analyze techniques of performing the flip long jump. (MM)

A list of 88 games appropriate for elementary level social studies is presented. Only games which may be played with large groups are included; board games are excluded. Each entry includes recommended grade levels, playing time, number of players, and cost. Addresses for each source are provided. (Author/KC)

An annual model United Nations simulation involving high school and college students is described. (LH)

Introduces the concept of human simulators, identifies their educational advantages, and describes how the teacher can design and implement this simulation strategy. A model for the development of a human simulator is also presented. (RAO)

Describes a training method, through simulation exercise, for developing child advocacy skills. A sample exercise is presented, as used with early childhood education graduate students. (BF)
