Investigates the relationship between three factors of working memory (storage and processing, relational integration, and supervision) and four factors of intelligence (reasoning, speed, memory, and creativity) using structural equation models. Relational integration predicted reasoning ability at least as well as the storage-and-processing…

The essential characteristics of a system for providing education to students not present in the same classroom as the instructor are two-way voice contact, availability where the students are, and the capacity to transmit still pictures. This suggests the use of slow-scan televideo (SSTV) which is able to be accommodated by voice-grade telephone…

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS INVOLVED IN THE DESIGN OF FILE ORGANIZATIONS FOR INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEMS ARE DISCUSSED. THE QUESTION OF INVERTED FILE AND SERIAL FILE SEARCHING ON MAGNETIC TAPE IS REVIEWED.

Analysis of demographic, social, municipal and commercial characteristics of Washington, D.C., indicate that a sophisticated three-stage cable television (CATV) system could be economically viable. The first stage would provide one-way CATV service offering 30 video channels and local program origination at a monthly fee of $3.50. The second stage…

The significance of authors' reading notes may lie not only in their mechanical function as information storage devices providing raw materials for writing, but also in their ability to concentrate and to mobilize the latent emotional and creative resources of their keepers. This document examines records of reading found in the published…

The impact of predicted technological developments on educational broadcasting depends on the long range planning done to exploit them. It is expected that in the future computers will be used extensively by broadcasting agencies to collect, analyze, and provide, on call, a wide range of data about audience groupings. Determination of program…
