This paper describes the features of an information retrieval program designed to analyze in depth the results of learning studies or other experimentation involving repeated measures that can be dichotomized. The program efficiently searches the data and summarizes the pertinent facts about Ss' learning history and the effects of the items. The paper also suggests some potential gains from a more careful scrutiny of the data.
