MOORE, J. WILLIAM; SMITH, WENDELL T. – 1965
SAMPLES OF THE EXPERIMENTAL MATERIALS USED IN THE BASIC STUDY, ED 003 628, WERE PRESENTED IN APPENDIXES FOR EACH OF THE FOUR EXPERIMENTS. AN EXISTING PROGRAM IN ELEMENTARY SET THEORY WAS MODIFIED IN EXPERIMENT ONE TO REDUCE THE UNITS OF INFORMATION PRESENTED IN EACH FRAME AND, IN A SECOND CASE, TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF UNITS PER FRAME. SAMPLE…
