A simple device called a "wire labyrinth" was used in an experiment involving learning of a two-hand motor task. The Ss were asked, after completing each of 7 successive trails, to give their estimates of perceived (subjective) difficulty of the task. For this purpose, the psychophysical method of magnitude estimation was used. Time was measured as a criterion of performance. The sevenfold repetition of the task resulted in a drop of performance time from 61 seconds to 35 seconds,...

This publication examines the relationships between research and development organizations and school systems. The stereotyped views that members of each kind of organization have of one another and the actual differences between them are explored. The views of both research and development personnel and school personnel were obtained through interviews. Practical solutions dealing with the structure of arrangements between the research group and the school (exchange, political influence,...

A review of the literature and research on group reactions to attitudinal deviance precedes the present study in which group members confronted an individual who always agreed, always disagreed, agreed then disagreed, or disagreed then agreed with modal group opinion. In addition to evaluations of the target individual, dependent measures also included attributions of the motives underlying his stability or change and direction and magnitude of the subject's own opinion change.

Methodist ministers in a Deep South State were compared by rural-urban residence for prejudicial attitudes towards Blacks. Previous findings indicated that area of residence was a factor in determining civil rights attitudes. Therefore, it was expected that ministers serving southern rural congregations were more prejudiced than their urban counterparts. In addition, other factors such as age, level of education (seminary-nonseminary training), and religious fundamentalism were assessed as...

Attitudes of 499 intellectually average elementary grade children toward educable mentally retarded (EMR) pupils were studied, and replicated 4 months later, in schools serving and not serving EMR pupils. Both sets of findings indicated that attitudes toward EMR pupils were most favorable when the raters had little school contact with the EMR children. The second purpose of the study was to test the prediction that well adjusted non-EMR pupils would express more favorable attitudes than poorly...

The Planning Unit is a concept employed in resource requirements forecasting for the public service agencies, as an alternative to the conventional hierarchical program-structure used in PPB systems. The planning unit concept allows analysts to generate cost analyses by several simultaneous program-structures, not all of which need be in a conventional pyramid form from program-to-activity. Thus, the creative options of the planner are extended, without a requirement for reprograming. The...

The primary purpose of this article is to clarify the place of myth in literature and the English curriculum. Conceived of as symbolic form, myth underpins all human expression, as a way of organizing human response to reality. It holds a central place in literature and can make clear the intimate connections between history and literature because its larger pattern reveals the constant interplay between social mythology and timeless archetypes. It is the task of the English teacher to enable...

The primary purpose of these papers is to place drama and dramatic experiences within an overall conception of the activities of the English classroom. The initial paper discusses the English lesson as helping pupils to use their native language to deal with individual and group experiences. Drama, seen as part of the classroom use of oral language, may arise from a topic proposed by the teacher, a shared experience, or a work of literature. Drama, however, differs from other classroom talk in...
