Ysseldyke, James E.; And Others – 1980
Over 200 professionals from schools in Minnesota participated in a computer simulated investigation of psychoeducational assessment and decision making for handicapped children. Demographic data were collected from each subject; estimates of the incidence of various handicapping conditions and knowledge of assessment was evaluated by a pretest.…

Held, Thomas H.; Kappelman, Murray M. – 1976
Computer assisted instruction is beginning to have an important role in the rapidly expanding field of continuing education for health science professionals. At the present time, there are 22 medical specialty boards, all of which require or are about to require some form of continuing medical education for re-certification, and studies are being…

Malone, Thomas W.; And Others – 1978
Ideas of optimizing specific objectives were applied to the problem of allocating computer assisted instruction (CAI) time among students in an elementary school. Then, using computer simulation methodology, it was found that simply increasing the total amount of CAI time used could probably improve overall student progress more than any practical…

Goodenough, John B.; Braun, Christine L. – 1978
The definitions provided for high order language (HOL) requirements for programming flight training simulators are based on the analysis of programs written for a variety of simulators. Examples drawn from these programs are used to justify the need for certain HOL capabilities. A description of the general structure and organization of the…

Bailey, Jon S.; Hughes, Ronald G. – 1980
Research developments in learning theory over the past fifty years have led to principles of behavior which have been shown in innumerable applied settings to be valuable in analyzing and modifying human behavior. When applied to flying training using simulators, these principles suggest that a significant contribution could be made in improving…

Wainer, Howard; Wright, Benjamin D. – 1980
The pure Rasch model was compared with four modifications of the model in a number of different simulations in order to ascertain the comparative efficiencies of the parameter estimations of these modifications. Because there is always noise in test score data, some individuals may have response patterns that do not fit the model and their…
