Since Sandra Bem''s introduction of Gender Schema Theory (GST), researchers have analyzed how gender schemas influence children''s information processing (Signorella, Bigler, & Liben, 1993; Welch-Ross & Schmidt, 1996). These studies, however, tested schema processing using familiar gender-atypical information (e.g., "only boys play with dolls") instead of novel gender-atypical information (e.g., "only girls play with xylophones"). The present study seeks to fill this gap in the research by using novel gender-atypical information in order to test the extent to which children''s schemas influence their information processing. First, I tested children''s memory and preference for two picture books, one with a female main character and one with a male main character. These books included the character playing with novel gender-atypical and familiar gender-typical items. Second, I tested if boys and girls had dissimilar levels of gender stereotype knowledge (measured by a card sorting task based on Leinbach, Hort & Fagot, 1997). My first hypothesis was that children would have better memory for gender-typical than gender-atypical information. My second hypothesis was that children''s memory would be correlated with their scores on the sorting task. Finally, I hypothesized that children would prefer stories starring a protagonist of their own gender. My results did not support the idea that gender schemas are biasing children''s information processing. Limitations of my study include small sample size, more female than male participants, and the possible influences of children''s environment on their card sorting. Finally, I consider future research on the influences media has on children''s gender stereotypes.

Tells the story of the Wright Brothers’ invention of the airplane, climaxing in the triumphant first flight of the Flyer at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1903.

The passion for invention is a deeply ingrained part of American culture. In the decades after our independence, the new nation burst with names every schoolchild should learn: Robert Fulton, Eli Whitney, Samuel Morse-and above all, Cyrus McCormick. Cyrus McCormick, inventor of the first mechanical reaper, liberated the American farmer, and changed the course of history. Until 1831, when he marketed the first truly practical machine, grain was still harvested as it had been in the time of the Pharaohs. McCormick also pioneered modern sales and marketing techniques, and as the twentieth century dawned, his McCormick Harvesting Machine Company became International Harvester, an industrial powerhouse ranked with U.S. Steel and Standard Oil. Celebrating this year its 175th anniversary, McCormick''s company, now Navistar International, has been a vital force in the American landscape, its tractors and trucks crucial to its industrial development. Milestones is the first fully illustrated history of the rich heritage of Navistar International, from its founding by Cyrus McCormick to its vitality today. This lavishly illustrated, oversized volume is packed with original photography, nostalgic advertising, fascinating detail and history, and American pride.
