The purpose of this 233-item annotated bibliography is to present relevant research addressing the primary subskills in the word decoding task. The topical areas of investigation are auditory discrimination, visual discrimination, auditory-visual integration, blending, and cognitive processing of information. An introduction and a cross-referenced…

The document reports on an extension of task analysis methodology. The concept of strategic principles or task strategies implicit in the job activities of highly proficient performers is examined with the intent of improving training. The goal is to identify or invent such strategies, as appropriate, and then proceed with training encouraging use…

Two stimuli of either small or capital letters were presented successively by tachistoscopic projectors. College students serving as subjects were requested to respond "yes" if the first stimulus (only one letter) was physically identical to or the same name of one of the letters in the second stimulus. The display size of the second stimulus was…

A Word Problem Program was set up to teach elementary school students how to solve arithmetic word problems and to teach some problem solving skills applicable to nonword problems. All instruction is accomplished through a computer program. Goals of the program are described along with three basic instructional decisions and the reasons for them,…

A generalized file-conversion program suite for the EUDISED (European Documentation and Information System for Education) information network, suitable for running on a wide range of mainframe computers, is suggested and described. Time and expenditures required to implement the system are assessed. Two other possible methods of handling the data…

This book is a collection of more than 5,000 abstracts on mathematics and arithmetic techniques related to computer science and to information processing. This collection is compiled from "Computer and Information Systems" and is a continuation of a previous series of books of computer abstracts--"Cumulative Computer Abstracts." (Author/FL)

International organizations concerned with information handling are working toward the adoption of compatible procedures and the eventual development of information networks capable of identifying and retrieving any published information from any country. Canada depends heavily on foreign information and technology, and uses various foreign…

A number of large information systems operating in countries other than Canada were investigated. Some of these systems or combinations of them can be used as models for pilot applications in Canada. Some research and considerable development are required, however, to enable them to meet specific Canadian requirements. To create regional and…

These 2 papers describe the development of a computerized class scheduling system aimed at achieving uniform and efficient utilization of staff and physical facilities and a schedule that permits the maximum number of students to fulfill their curricular requirements. In "An Introduction to CUSS," Victor Abell describes the development…

This report examines (1) the present state of the art of hardware and software applicable to large-scale conversion, storage, and retrieval of retrospective bibliographic information; (2) the organizational and administrative aspects of the task; (3) costs of hardware, software, and manpower; and (4) possible approaches to the timing and funding…

A selected, annotated bibliography of more than 300 publications pertaining to all aspects of the problem of privacy in the computer age is presented. The largest part of the entries are for the years 1965-1967. The report is divided into three parts: an essay overview of the problem of privacy and the computer; the bibliography, in which the…

After three years of preparation, the Project Intrex research team has begun to subject parts of its augmented catalog system to interactions with users who were interested in the substance of the stored information and uncontaminated by prior association with the Intrex research effort. The experiences with users to date, as well as progress made…

In order to study the influence of the information-processing strategy of an adult model on the subsequent strategy of children, 216 grade school children solved modified twenty-questions problems. A repeated-measures factorial design was used with the following variables: (1) information-processing of model (hypothesis scanning, constraint…

The computational complexity of a formal process for the construction of term classes for information retrieval is examined. While the process is proven to be difficult computationally, heuristic methods are applied. Experimental results are obtained to illustrate the maximum possible improvement in system performance of retrieval using the formal…

Eye movements and comprehension were examined when good and poor seventh graders read materials which contained cloze deletions and read comparable nontreated materials. The number of fixations and regressions increased when good readers read cloze materials. Good readers demonstrated superior comprehension under both treatments. Good readers…
