managing lapses, and encouraging internal control over the development of science and
technology. Finch et al. reported factors related to the management of the two groups in
“typical cognitive-development as related to science and technology training programs” (p.
609).
According to Finch et al. (2005), theirs was the first inquiry into the examination of the
outcome expectations and participant satisfaction on scientific and technological training.
Although they did not report any significant differences in scientific and technological de-
velopment and social change in modern societies or communities, individuals did express
satisfaction with their results and showed more interest in the development over time. The
results of a study conducted on the initiation and maintenance of science and technology
indicated similar results in the area of perceived satisfaction with outcomes (Baldwin et al.
2006). The same students noted efforts to continue computer science and technological re-
search prevailed for students motivated by their satisfaction in promoting the research; the
satisfaction factor indicates a prediction of design transformation into more future cognit-
ive human development in computer science.
