A study investigated how young children understand natural kind terms by examining how 3- and 4-year-olds rely on category membership to draw inductive inferences about objects. One hundred four children (53 girls and 51 boys) from six preschools in California and Michigan participated in the study. The children were shown 10 sets of pictures of natural objects or creatures, told something about the items shown, and asked to draw inferences about other natural kind pictures. Two conditions were...

A three-step procedure for the analysis of slowly adapting systems is presented. First, conditions are given for the existence of an integral manifold upon which the slow adaptation occurs in either continuous of discrete time. Second, conditions are derived under which this integral manifold is exponentially attractive. Third, the behavior on the manifold is analyzed via the method of averaging. In the process of developing the discrete-time part of these results, the relationship between the...

An understanding of the relationship between low-amplitude shear wave velocity and state of stress is necessary for correctly measuring and properly utilizing seismic shear waves in geotechnical engineering. Theoretically, the mean effective stress has been shown to be the stress state controlling shear wave velocity in an isotropic, homogeneous, particulate medium. Mean effective stress has been assumed to be the stress state controlling anisotropic, particulate material even though several...

A new spectroscopic emission technique, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) optical emission spectroscopy, in conjunction with spark erosion or conductive solids nebulization (CSN), was used in obtaining rapid elemental analysis of metal alloys. Enthalpies of vaporization were shown not be the determining factor in the amount of material eroded in medium-voltage sparks. The melting behavior of the alloys seems to have a more significant effect on the amount of material eroded. Perhaps, instead of...

Research has shown that learned-helpless children, who make attributions for failure to lack of ability, tend to show impaired performance of decreased persistence in the face of challenge. In similar situations, mastery-oriented children, identified by their tendency to attribute failure to insufficient effort, show improved performance or increased persistence. In this study, fifth and sixth grade children, characterized as either mastery-oriented (N=22) or learned-helpless (N=23) based on a...

The goal of an introductory graphics course is fundamental visual literacy, which includes learning to appreciate the power of visuals in communication and to express ideas visually. Traditional principles of design--the focus of the course--are based on more fundamental gestalt theory, which relates to human pattern-seeking behavior, particularly how the eye tends to group parts into wholes. Just as verbal communication is governed by rules of grammar, graphic expression is governed by the...
