Peer reviewedHersh, Harry M.; Caramazza, Alfonso – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 1976
The proposition that natural language concepts are represented as fuzzy sets, a generalization of the traditional theory of sets, of meaning components and that language operators--adverbs, negative markers, and adjectives--can be considered as operators on fuzzy sets was assessed empirically. (Editor/RK)

Dyer, James C.; Meyer, Philip A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Many studies have confirmed that mnemonic techniques facilitate the acquisition and retention of information. It was hypothesized that, through the reduction of errors in component memory for dimensions (hypotheses, cues, etc.), such techniques should improve performance on conceptual tasks. (Editor)
Descriptors: Concept Formation, Experimental Psychology, Learning Activities, Memorization
Peer reviewedMacGregor, Ronald – Art Education, 1976
Suggests that, in undertaking the investigative process, we follow a common path that leads us, through the recognition of present patterns, to the generation of new ones. Schools should have series of goals that become indistinguishable in the light of total human experience. (Author/RK)
