Virginia has a wide gap of educational opportunity among Virginia's 130 local school divisions which, by 10 measurable criteria, is generally unimproved over 5 years ago. (DM)

It is suggested on the basis of these findings and others that the linear effect in previous studies is due primarily to a particular instructional set and is irrelevant to the study of uniquely semantic processes. (Author/CB)

Contrary to expectation, observable surprise proved infrequent in all groups studied. In contrast, changes in conservation judgment were frequent, although the degree of change was reduced somewhat if an appropriate explanation was required. (Author/CB)

Results of three studies indicate that unless a woman is of unusual ability and/or is an acknowledged success, she must expect to be treated inequitably. (Authors/CB)

Results suggest that Ss store some of the auditory and visual information in modality-dependent memory systems and that storage order determines recall accuracy. (Author)

Results showed that recall of verbal material hardly was affected by the eye-movement task but was much affected by backward counting, while nonverbal material was recalled with the same efficiency irrespective of type of distractor, suggesting different types of storage for the two types of material.

Frequency theory of verbal discrimination learning holds that the correct and incorrect alternatives of each word pair acquire differential frequencies. (Author/MB)

Results of this study suggest the feasibility of using concepts from studies of spoken language for experimental studies of graphic performance. (Authors)

Basic experimental design tested to see whether semantic shifts and variation of intertrial interval influences performance in short-term recognition memory in a manner similar to their influence in short-term recall. (Authors)

Memory span of symbol strings decreased as string length or number of different symbols composing the strings increased. Recall of digit strings was a function of string length only. (Author)

Results of this study suggest that availability of a consistent set of color labels is related more closely to recognition accuracy than is the spontaneous production of labels in a color recognition task. (Authors)

Study attempts to clarify the attentional versus perceptual learning functions of presence of the discriminative stimuli during delay. (Authors)

Intellectual realism was investigated by using as a model a cup with the defining feature (the handle) not visible, and a nondefining feature (a painted flower) visible. (Authors/MB)

Reinstatement is the increased retention of previously learned behavior. (MB)

Performance was consistently higher for pictures than for words, and this difference was unaffected by age, response mode, or presentation paradigm. (Author)
