Grayson, Randall – Camping Magazine, 2001
Five camp counseling styles are discussed: punishment, guilt, the buddy and monitor approaches, and success counseling. Success counseling is preferred because it teaches campers how their emotions, needs, and behaviors are linked to outcomes and how to find a prosocial way to meet the need behind their behavior. The other methods simply focus on…

Peer reviewedParmar, Rene S.; And Others – Exceptional Children, 1996
Performance on mathematics word problems was compared for 197 students (grades 3-8) with mild disabilities and 210 nondisabled students. Students with disabilities performed at significantly lower levels than typical students. Significant effects were also evident for grade and type of mathematical operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication,…

Peer reviewedKight, Stanford S.; Mickelson, John M. – Clearing House, 1995
Reprints an article originally published in 1949. Determines the relative effects on learning of problem-centered and subject-centered units of instruction. Finds that pupils learned significantly more factual information and made more connections of specific rules of action with their corresponding facts with the problem type. Suggests that…

Peer reviewedBertolo, Stefano – Language Acquisition, 1995
Presents a framework for studying the effects of the Maturation Hypothesis on the problem of language learning, parametrically conceived, and offers a method for finding all existing maturational solutions for any parametric hypothesis space and any learning algorithm that differs from Gibson and Wexler's Triggering Learning Algorithm. (27…

Peer reviewedLittlefield, Joan; Rieser, John J. – Cognition and Instruction, 1993
Devised a model that hypothesized that students, in discriminating relevant information in mathematical story problems, search for values of semantic categories that match those in the problem. Two experiments assessed the validity of the model. Results indicated that the model was an accurate predictor of discrimination performance for successful…
