Learning from Video Games (and Everything Else): The General Learning Model
Video games can have many effects on players, some of which could be intentional effects (e.g., games designed to train health compliance behaviors), and most of which are unintentional (e.g., violent games, stereotypes, gaming disorder). Some of these areas of research have been seen as controversial, but many of the controversies can be at least partially resolved by considering the learning mechanisms underlying the effects. We describe the Ge…
Classroom Assessment and Grading to Assure Mastery
Achieving learning standards is at the forefront of current educational philosophy, and is the goal of sound educational practice. That "all children can learn" and there will be "no child left behind" presume that teaching and assessment practices must benefit all children. Agreement in principle is nearly universal. Practical implementation, however, is another matter. One philosophy of learning and instruction that has a long history of target…

Pupil Preferences and the Premack Principle
In his now classic paper of 1959, David Premack reinterpreted the positive reinforcement effect as follows: Reinforcement results when an R of a lower independent rate coincides, within temporal limits, with the stimuli governing the occurrence of an R of a higher independent rate [p. 219] (italics original). Among other implications of this reinterpretation is the following which has direct applicability to educational problems: of two behaviors…
Sociocultural Level and Knowledge of Definitions in the Solution of Analogy Items
It has long been recognized that subgroups of the population differ markedly in their performance on standardized aptitude and achievement tests. Documentation of this fact can be found for various categorizations of the population. For example, differences have been noted between urban and rural students (Turnbull, 1950), between Negro and white students (Shuey, 1966), among various social class and ethnic groups (Fifer, 1965), and between the s…
