Summary.The relationship between three types of anxiety and eight types of classroom behaviours was examined. Data for the study were gathered through both questionnaire and observation at the beginning, midway through and during the final phase of the teaching‐learning process from 81 adult learners attending courses at Brandon University. Findings from the study seem to hold promise of a better understanding of the intangible mental state of adult learners from their overt behaviours as correlation and canonical variate analyses revealed close and direct relationships among anxiety and behaviour variables. Further, the communication anxiety theory seemed also to be verified as there was definitely a difference between high and low anxiety learners in the frequency of behaviours displaye

摘要:

Summary.After a series of immediate free recall trials children were given an unexpected recall‐recognition test, results of which showed that younger children, aged about 6 years, were quite poor at discriminating between previously recalled and non‐recalled list items and that they were much less accurate than older children aged about 8 years or more (N = 14 per group). The findings suggest that young children may be generally quite inaccurate in assessing their previous recall performance, and this suggestion was discussed in relation to the development of other memory ski

摘要:

Summary.An analysis of the library reading material of a junior school was related to the reading abilities and interests of its pupils. The school's resources of 4,793 library books were classified into 50 categories in two roughly equal groupings, Fiction and Information. A 5 per cent sample, stratified by category and placement, was measured by a modified Fry Graph. Two hundred and fifty‐eight children were assessed by Schonell Silent Reading Tests A and B and completed a questionnaire. The findings indicated that the readability levels of most of the books were considerably higher than the reading ages of the majority of the pupils. The results yielded a significant negative correlation between the children's professed interests and the subject matter of library non‐fiction reading mater

摘要:

Summary.The present study investigated some relationships between age, socio‐economic status (SES), and cognitive task performance among 120 children from Grades 1 and 4. A battery of tasks differing in transformational requirements and ostensibly in cultural loading was administered to all children. Analyses of results indicate that low SES children were more handicapped in some tasks of so‐called reasoning ability when compared to middle SES children. But contrary to expectations, the test scores of the contrasted SES groups were more disparate in Grade 1 than in Grade 4. For the older age group, SES differences on the culturally loaded Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) were apparent, whereas differences on the culturally‐reduced Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices were statistically non‐sign

摘要:

Summary.Anthony's theory (1973) of the development of extraversion in children requires that there should be a negative correlation between extraversion and intelligence in adolescents over the age of 13 or 14. To test this, Raven's Progressive Matrices and the Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory were administered to a large group (802) of 15‐ and 16‐year‐olds. There was a significant positive correlation between extraversion and the Matrices, so Anthony's theory was not supp
