Research indicates that people do not spontaneously transfer prior clues to solve problems, even though the necessary information is available in memory. To investigate the effects of the symmetry between clue statements and problem statements on problem solving performance, subjects were asked to provide plausible explanations for five…

The progress of a three-year college program in environmental education is cited in this article. Successes of the program, as reported, include the ability to integrate the areas of study and to develop a problem-solving approach. The major failure of the program is the lack of community support. (MA)

When comparing rows of dots in length or number, some children used number strategies and some length strategies. After training to correct missed items, errors were made on previously correct items. These findings are interpreted with reference to the distinction between having a dimensional strategy and attaching it to appropriate situations.…

The problems, solutions, and results of the fourth annual contest are presented. (SD)

Measures for developing creativity by exploring inner space are recounted: the procedure for deliberate dreaming, exercises in producing new patterns, the steps in bioheuristics, a description of "wilderness seminars", and staying in bed to problem-solve while dozing. (AJ)

The purpose of this article is to propose a course geared toward higher education that would help the student to become perceptually aware and "tuned-in" to what is going on in his immediate surroundings. (Author)

Considered the academic achievement of underachievers and the part that competition plays in affecting student behavior. (RK)
