Setzler, Hubert H., Jr.; Clark, Richard E. – 1975
Four presentations in two recall conditions (immediate and one-week delay) were used to investigate the combined effects of imagery and semantic organizational strategies on the free recall of 80 college undergraduates. Both imaginal and semantic organization were comparably manipulated presenting each response noun simultaneously with an imagery…

Camp, Bonnie W.; Bash, Mary A. – 1978
This program adapts the Think Aloud method, originally designed to assist young aggressive boys in achieving greater self-control, to improve problem-solving skills among first and second graders. Modeling of self-instructional verbalizations is used to teach children a systematic approach to analyzing a problem, planning an attack and evaluating…

Yarbrough, Donald B.; And Others – 1980
The effect of the amount of prior knowledge on the long-term retrieval of information is examined. In two studies, seventh and eighth grade students of average or above average reading ability learned passages to simulate materials from history textbooks (factual), from reading textbooks (narrative), and from science textbooks (conceptual).…

STAATS, ARTHUR W.; AND OTHERS – 1962
FIVE STUDIES ARE REPORTED OF OPERANT CONDITIONING AND LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES IN READING. THE FIRST STUDY OUTLINED THE RATIONALE AND PRINCIPLES UNDERLYING THE PROJECT. THE SECOND STUDY INITIATED AND REFINED APPLICATIONS OF REINFORCEMENT PROCEDURES FOR STUDYING EFFECTS OF DISCRIMINATION TRAINING ON READING. STUDY NUMBER THREE DEMONSTRATED…

WITTROCK, M. C. – 1965
FOUR EXPERIMENTS WERE CONDUCTED TO STUDY EFFECTS OF VERBAL CUES ON LEARNING RETENTION AND TRANSFER. CUES INCLUDED RULES AND ANSWERS PROVIDED BEFORE RESPONDING AND RULES AND ANSWERS PROVIDED AS FEEDBACK. THE FIRST EXPERIMENT INVOLVED SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO USED RULE AND ANSWER PROMPTS. THE SECOND EXPERIMENT CONSIDERED PROMPTS AND FEEDBACK.…

Seven mediational strategies for use in verbal associative learning have been discovered. They range from the simple to the intermediate to the complex. The subjects of this study were 173 fifth graders, who were administered a paired-associate (PA) task and asked to identify the strategies they used. On the basis of this data, they were then…

Abrams, Jules C. – 1968
A differential diagnosis of three types of severe reading disability cases is presented. The brain damaged-ego disturbed child suffers a defect in the central nervous system which makes it extremely difficult to develop such basic skills as perception, concept formation, and language. The specific brain injury cases, classed as organic remedial,…

Cavallaro, Claire C.; Young, Clifford C. – 1978
Examined were the effects of four teachers' use of a data-based behaviorally oriented planning technique on the verbal labeling performance of eight developmentally delayed children (2-5 years old). Teachers were introduced to a 10-tactic planning technique that included behaviors ranging from simply counting the number of correct and incorrect…

Smothergill, D. W.; Cook, Harold – 1969
The author initially cites the associationistic position of Spiker and the perceptual learning position of E. Gibson and concludes that the existing data does not clearly support either hypothesis. He describes a new approach designed to test these explanations of the role of verbal pretraining on subsequent discrimination learning. It consists of…

Peer reviewedDwyer, Francis M., Jr. – Harvard Educational Review, 1967
Reports on the effectiveness of visual illustrations used in conjunction with oral instructions. Results indicate that the reduction of realistic detail in an illustration does not necessarily reduce its instructional effectiveness and in many cases improves it. There were also significant differences in the effectiveness of different types of…

Dwyer, Francis M., Jr. – 1968
Five slide sequences, each containing 39 black-and-white slides designed to complement oral instruction, and carrying a 32 minute oral instructional unit on the heart, were presented to 269 college students in five groups through a television receiver. The purpose was twofold: to determine if redundant information presented simultaneously through…

Dembo, Myron H.; And Others – 1969
The purpose of this study was to investigate both the relationship between verbalization and shift-learning and the possible prepotent stimulus dimensions of the eighty-four 7-year-olds used as subjects. Four pairs of two-dimensional stimuli were presented to the children, for the discrimination learning task, in the following order: large black,…

Mosberg, Ludwig; Shima, Fred – 1969
A rationale was developed for researching reading comprehension based on information gain. Previous definitions of comprehension which were reviewed included operational vs. nonoperational and skills vs. processes. Comprehension was viewed as an informational processing event which includes a constellation of cognitive and learning processes. Two…

Wilder, Larry – 1973
The study of verbal behavior has a long history in the Soviet Union, and some of the studies, especially those related to verbal conditioning and learning, have had considerable impact on Western research, particularly in the United States. The view set forth in this paper is that "voluntary behavior" is only that behavior which is…
