Moser, Gene W. – 1972
An information-theory model of human memory was tested in thirteen experiments which involved children (six years and older) and graduate students. The subjects conducted science investigations in laboratory and non-laboratory settings, solved problems of electrical circuits, and participated in classroom science lessons. The tasks used involved…

Fazio, Frank; Moser, Gene W. – 1972
A probabilistic model (see SE 013 578) describing information processing during the cognitive tasks of recall and problem solving was tested, refined, and developed by testing graduate students on a number of tasks which combined oral, written, and overt "input" and "output" modes in several ways. In a verbal chain one subject…

Schwartz, Steven H.; Fattaleh, Daniel L. – 1971
Seventy-two Ss attempted to solve four "who-done-it" type deductive reasoning problems which varied in mode of representation, type of logical connective employed, and affirmative versus negative statement of information. Affirmative and conjunctive problems were solved more frequently than negative and disjunctive problems (all are defined in the…

Moloney, James Michael – 1972
The objective of this study is to identify some of the structural features of an elementary logic curriculum which affect logic problem difficulty. The system under review is a computer-based logic instructional system (LIS) at Stanford University. Four modes of problem presentation--multiple-choice, truth-analysis, counterexample, and derive--are…
