Target location probability was manipulated in a visual search task. When the target was twice as likely to appear on 1 side of the display as the other, manual button-press response times were faster (Experiment 1A) and first saccades were more frequently directed (Experiment 1B) to the more probable locations. When the target appeared with equal…

Behavior analysts have offered accounts of the behavior involved in matching to sample and delayed matching to sample. But until recently have not offered a behavioral analysis of generalized matching-to-sample. The concept of joint control, however, seems especially suited to such an analysis The present study used a joint-control procedure to…

A simple proof to some known results on the convergence of linear recursive sequences with nonnegative coefficients is given, using the technique of monotone convergence.

The present study attempted to demonstrate that subjects do attend to and abstract complex contingencies between events in probabilistic, nondeterministic schedules. (Authors)

Three severely retarded children (8 and 16 years old) were taught to point to consonant/vowel/consonant nonsense labels depicted by geometric forms under both serial (in which training was in one item at a time) and concurrent (in which training was in three items at a time) training conditions.

"Curiosity Corner" is an early childhood curriculum emphasizing children's language and literacy skills. It comprises two sets of 38 weekly thematic units--one for three-year-olds and one for four-year-olds. Program staff conduct daily lessons using sequential daily activities. One study of "Curiosity Corner" meets the What…

Introduction: Innovative technology has led to high-precision radiation therapy that has dramatically altered the practice of radiation oncology. This qualitative study explored the implementation of this innovation into practice from the perspective of the practitioners in a large academic radiation medicine program and aimed to improve…

This paper presents a temporal sequence memory based on the circuit configuration of the dentate gyrus of the mammalian hippocampus. (Author)

Data indicate that the Visual-Sequential Memory subtest of the ITPA and the Knox Cube Test measure different aspects of visual-sequential memory ability. (KW)

Learning packages allow students to cook up their own educational recipes without having to stew about deadlines. (RA)
