Gardner Michael K.; Woltz, Dan J. | Representation of memory for order of mental operations in cognitive tasks | Recent research shows that people learning a cognitive task acquire a memory for the order of operations applied, independent of the data to which those operations were applied. We designed two experiments to show how this sequence memory is represented. Experiment 1 compared predictions based on... | Cognitive skills; Operation sequences; Sequential skills | 2002 |

Johnston, Susan S. | Beginning augmentative communication systems | To be unable to produce communicative behavior that can be understood by others represents one of the most frustrating experiences imaginable. Communicating through a communication board or with gestures lessens this frustration but does not eliminate it. Since 1975, remarkable advances have been ma... | Intervention; Challenging behavior; Symbols | 1992 |

Hawken, Leanne Sue | Using DIBELS to improve reading outcomes | Students' reading trajectories (i.e., their general pattern of reading progress) are established early and are relatively stable over time. For example, students who are poor readers in first grade are likely (i.e., 88%) to be poor readers in fourth-grade. Prevention is key to improving reading out... | | 2004 |

Gardner Michael K. | Word-frequency effect in lexical decision: finding a frequency-based component | Subjects making lexical decisions are reliably faster in responding to high-frequency words than to low-frequency words. This is known as the word frequency effect. We wished to demonstrate that some portion of this effect was due to frequency differences between words rather than to other dimensio... | Stimulus; Interaction; Variance | 1987 |
