The next meeting of the Playfair Society will be on
Wednesday, January 11, 1989.  The speaker will be
Robert S. Lockhart and his title is Remembering Graphs.

The talk will cover the following topics:

A. Forms of remembering: especially recognition versus 
   various forms of recall.
B. Multiple codes: Does redundancy help?
   Verbal labels + pictorial representation
   Does it help to add numbers to lengths, areas, etc?
   Variations in degree of pictorial detail (does pictorial 
   elaboration help?)
C. Propositional versus analogue memory representation.
   Should numbers be added to lengths, areas, etc?
   Memory for continuous functions.
D. Memory for category labels versus memory for quantities: 
   Pie charts, histograms, etc. with nominal scale.
   Associating categories with quantities
