|
 | The interaction of war and national values is a phenomenon to which military strategists of the western democracies must pay closer attention. Most of the public debate over national defense policy centers on weapons systems and budgets, and invites the unanswerable question, How much is enough? Yet the power of value concerns is such that they can be, when mobilized either in support of or in opposition to military power, ... |

| Authors:
Fritz H. Brecke; Vernon S. Gerlach; Richard F. Schmid; ARIZONA STATE UNIV TEMPE COLL OF EDUCATION
|
 | The primary goal of this study was the identification of variables which influence transfer from cognitive pretraining to perceptual-motor skill acquisition. The results clearly support the central hypothesis that the direction of transfer is dependent on the type of Verbral Prescriptive Rules (VPRs) or instructional cues which were learned during cognitive pretraining. Systematically developed rules led to more precise perceptual motor behavior than currently operational rules, which appear to inhibit ... |

|
| The Army has instituted a performance-based instructional program that employs criterion-referenced testing for evaluation, i.e., evaluation with reference to a firm performance standard, or criterion, rather than relative to the performance of peers. Specific behavioral objectives, with standards and conditions, have been delineated and serve as the basis for both instruction and evaluation. Training is organized on the basis of six principles: Active Skill Practice, Absolute Criterion, Functional Context, Individualization, ... |

| Authors:
David M. Mazurowski; AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH
|
| 'Darkness,' a short poem Byron wrote in 1816, is a dream vision of the end of the universe. Byron creates a swift movement of Time through the use of blank verse, enjambment, and punctuation. The poem's gloomy and depressing tone is directly related to the personal depression Byron suffered from during his first summer in Switzerland, after he left England for the last time. The contempt for man displayed in ... |

| The Allies saw the War foremost as a struggle against Germany. France saw the War as a struggle against Germany and all else that was anti-French in Europe. Accordingly, France sought to insure the debilitation of both Germany and those allied with her in the War. Hungary clearly fell into the latter category. Ever cognizant of Hungary's past perfidy by her alliance with Germany, France could never be sure of ... |

| The 'Return to the Homeland Movement' of one of the Crimean Tatars, is the principal subject of this article. Whereas Western observers have generally focused their attention on Russian and Jewish dissidents in the Moscow area, they have given somewhat less consideration to protesting members of other nationalities in other parts of the Soviet Union. Therefore a description of Crimean Tatar dissidence provides an opportunity to demonstrate that national dissent ... |
