RESUMEN
The Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching (MERLOT) is a community of academic institutions, professional discipline organizations, and individual people building a collection of Web-based teaching and learning resources where faculty can easily find peer-reviewed materials for use in their classes. The MERLOT project is currently supported by 23 systems and institutions of higher education and by the National Science Foundation. MERLOT is developing collections of learning materials from many academic disciplines, including psychology.

We developed a relationally processing-based scoring system (RPSS) for the Wechsler Memory Scale's (WMS) Logical Memory subtest. Information from the stories was classified as either essential to the plot (Essential proposition) or nonessential to the plot (Detail proposition). The subjects' responses were also scored for intrusion errors (Self-Generated propositions). The normal control group's performance was compared with the performance of a right cerebrovascular accident group (R-CVA), and a left cerebrovascular accident group (L-CVA), each consisting of 20 right-handed subjects. ANOVAs revealed that the R-CVA group recalled significantly fewer Detail propositions and produced significantly more Self-Generated propositions than did the Normal Control group. In contrast, these groups recalled approximately the same number of Essential propositions. The L-CVA group recalled fewer Essential propositions than did any other group, but also produced the fewest intrusion errors.

Value issues are inseparable from any scientific pursuit and they become particularly influential in the applied scientific areas of community and behavioral community psychology. The explication of value positions is one way of dealing positively with the ubiquity of value issues. The role of values in community mental health, community psychology, and behavioral community psychology are contrasted. Implicit value positions are entrenched in the terminology of community psychology and community mental health theory while theory in behavioral community psychology, because of its functional rather than structural orientation, does not contain the same level of value positions. Traditionally, value positions have been concerned with the quality of life, i.e., what makes up the "good life." However, the worldwide crises of starvation, nuclear armament, and pollution necessitates an orientation to a more fundamental type of value, i.e., survival of the species or the opportunity for life. Through the explication of quality-of-life values, the public and psychologists designing community helping programs can evaluate the compatibility of quality-of-life and opportunity-for-life values.

This paper is a response to the Rappaport (1984) and Attneave (1984) commentaries on the O'Donohue, Hanley, and Krasner (1984) article on the value contexts of the community psychologies. We have focused on similarities and differences between our positions and those of Rappaport and Attneave. We are all in agreement that behavioral community psychology is not value free, a point which is emphasized in our earlier paper. One of our goals was to foster the discussion of value explication and its implications for the community psychologies. The Rappaport and Attneave commentaries, in effect, have accomplished this in an excellent and exciting manner.
