    Get PDF
    Ten, primarily test oriented, computer languages reviewed during the phase 1 study effort are described. Fifty characteristics of ATOLL, ATLAS, and CLASP are compared. Unique characteristics of the other languages, including deficiencies, problems, safeguards, and checking provisions are identified. Programming aids related to these languages are reported, and the conclusions resulting from this phase of the study are discussed. A glossary and bibliography are included. For the reports on phase 2 of the study, see N71-35027 and N71-35029

    Realism or Distortion in Predicting and Evaluating Exam Performance Among Depressed and Nondepressed Students

    Cognitive behavioral theories suggest that depressed people have negatively distorted and inaccurate perceptions and cognitions. The present study measures the accuracy of cognitions by comparing predictions made by depressed and by nondepressed students when they estimate the scores they will earn on an examination. It also compares depressed and nondepressed students on their levels of satisfaction with their exam scores. No difference was found between depressed and nondepressed students in either their predictions of their exam grades or their level of satisfaction with their exam grades. This study fails to support the notion that depression correlates with negative cognitive distortions. Depressed and nondepressed students were alike in their cognitive accuracy in predicting exam grades and in their cognitive satisfaction level with their grades

    The commercial forests on Indian reservations within the United States cover approximately 6,500,000 acres. Over 5,000,000 acres may be classed as woodland because of a growth thereon of pinion, juniper and other non-commercial species. Nearly 40,000,000 acres are classed as being primarily grazing lands. While the amount of forest and grazing areas comprises but a small percentage of the lands of such classification in the nation, such land is o£ great economic importance and forms a substantial portion of the total area within such States as Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and South Dakota
