摘要:

An apparatus for studying learning rates in a simulated industrial or machine control environment is described. Four channels of signals are produced which activate either a light source, dials (meters), a vibrotactile unit, or all of these displays in combination on each channel. Input to the displays is by tape recorded signals of varying intensities. The occurrence of a stimulus signal and the response to it are recorded on a multiple channel event‐recorder. The apparatus is intended to facilitate research into the bisensory presentation of signal

摘要:

Three hundred stamped and addressed letters were “lost” in public places. The manipulation consisted of varying the addresses on the envelopes, there being five experimental and one control condition, each with an N of 50. In the experimental conditions, the letters were addressed to groups concerned with the welfare of handicapped children, whereas the control was simply the Children's Aid Group. The response rate in four of the five experimental conditions was greater than in the control condition, thereby providing evidence for the predictive validity of the “lost‐letter”

摘要:

Two experiments are reported which seek to test the hypothesis that there would be a greater perceived difference in intensity of two tones presented in an increasing order of intensity than the same tones presented in a decreasing order. In Experiment I, 41 subjects indicated which of a two‐tone set, in successive three‐tone trials, contained the greater intensity difference. In Experiment II, 18 subjects numerically estimated the intensity difference of two tones presented in both orders of intensity change. The results of both experiments support the hypothesis. These results are discussed in reference to orientation response (OR) resea

摘要:

The method of magnitude estimation was used to determine the brightness of areas presented adjacent to a doubly stimulated overlap region. Two variables were examined, the stimulus‐onset‐asynchrony, SOA, between the two stimuli forming the doubly stimulated region, and the luminance of these stimuli. Where a decrease in luminance summation was expected in this overlap region the adjacent flank increased in brightness with increasing

摘要:

Allegations have been made that factoring by items is acceptable but by parcels not. Theoretical reasons are given for expecting that factors should actually be the same in number and nature from items and parcels, and that, moreover, the latter will give more accurately determined unique simple structure resolution. From 184 items found in several researches to cover some 19 to 20 primary factors, 46 parcels of 4 in each were made by radial parcelling. Factorings using blind rotation, employing both items and parcels on each of two groups (N = 246 and 780) independently showed close agreement on number of factors and in obtaining significant matching indices for each factor (a) among the four solutions and (b) with the ideal criterion pattern. As hypothesized, the advantages in precision of rotation turn out to be with the parcelling method.

摘要:

Rats were given runway acquisition training for either 8 or 20 days with either one of two sequences containing N (nonreinforced), R (reinforced) and P (punished) trials. One sequence had a single NP‐length (always the same number of N trials followed by the same number of P trials) of 6. The other sequence had multiple NP‐lengths of 2, 4, and 6. Differences in running speeds during extinction between groups trained with either the single or the multiple NP‐length sequence were not significant for either level of acquisition training. During acquisition, differences in running speeds as a function of stimulus condition (N, P, or R) were observed in both the single and multiple NP‐length groups. The results from the present study were discussed in terms of sequential reinforcement theory (e.g., Capaldi

摘要:

An experiment was carried out to resolve an apparent disagreement in the literature about the importance of the role of the verb in sentence processing. Previous results were confirmed in that the verb was found to be important in judgments of sentence meaning but less significant in sentence storage. However, form class differences in storage held only for high potency terms. Some implications of these findings are discussed.

摘要:

While overall, sex differences in sensitivity to emotion have rarely been found, subjects' sex may be a significant interactional variable. Nine hypotheses were tested, examining sex differences in (a) accuracy of judgment of emotion, (b) attention paid to emotional cues and (c) type of error made when incorrectly judging emotions, when these variables are related to (d) the emotions being expressed and (e) the sex of the expressor. Little evidence of sex differences was found from testing 49 males and 51 females. Males were found to make more evaluative errors when judging positive and negative emotions expressed by women. Continued research emphasis on sex differences in the perception of emotion is questioned.
