How to make a bad speech

This essay is an attempt to facilitate the search for a new paradigm to help guide and organize research. Inadequacies in the philosophy of language underlying the classical and neo‐Aristotelian traditions are explained; a set of propositions that offers a more adequate philosophy of language is developed; a controversy among major modern theorists is illustrated; and selected recommendations of The Prospect of Rhetoric are assessed.     

AGE‐FAIR ASSESSMENT OF PSYCHOMETRIC INTELLIGENCE

This study examined the validity of a parallel form of the Primary Mental Abilities test for use with adults aged 50 to 90 years. Significant intraindividual performance gains on the parallel form were observed on the Verbal and Number subtests, while the effect on Space and Reasoning subtests was less substantial The development of such age‐fair measures of psychometric intelligence and related issues are discussed within the context of current developments in research on aging.     

Nine Years after Implementing the Unthinkable: The Cessation of Periodical Check-in at the University of Nevada,Reno

In 2001, librarians at the University of Nevada, Reno, carried out what some considered a radical experiment in the library world: an end to the check-in of print periodicals in exchange for allocating staff resources to support electronic resources. Nine years later, the authors assessed current print serials management practices in a new and changed environment through a survey and interviews. This article presents the assessment results, discusses the directions taken over the years, the benefits and challenges, and offers suggestions for other libraries interested in exploring such a project.     

Video Game–Based Learning: An Emerging Paradigm for Instruction

Interactive digital media, or video games, are a powerful new medium. They offer immersive experiences in which players solve problems. Players learn more than just facts—ways of seeing and understanding problems so that they “become” different kinds of people. “Serious games” coming from business strategy, advergaming, and entertainment gaming embody these features and point to a future paradigm for eLearning. Building on interviews with leading designers of serious games, this article presents case studies of three organizations building serious games, coming from different perspectives but arriving at similar conclusions. This article argues that such games challenge us to rethink the role of information, tools, and aesthetics in a digital age.
