Changes In Eeg, Temperature, And Behavior As A Function Of Prolonged Sleep Deprivation, G. Vernon Pegram Jr
Changes In Eeg, Temperature, And Behavior As A Function Of Prolonged Sleep Deprivation, G. Vernon Pegram Jr
Psychology ETDs
An experiment using 6 Macaca mulatta monkeys was conducted to determine the physiological and behavioral changes concomitant with 176 hours of sleep deprivation. The physiological changes were observed by recording EEG and cortical brain temperature continuously throughout 5 days of baseline, 8 days of deprivation and 8 days of recovery. Primarily behavioral changes were observed by performance on a delayed matched-to-sample task during which the Ss worked for food pellets. The rhesus has a definite stage 4 and PS recovery which was apparently critical in counteracting the stress of sleep deprivation. Further a stage 2 recovery was observed that had …
A Survey Of The Breakfast And Snack Habits Of Adventist And Non-Adventist Adolescents, Consuelo A. Bustista
A Survey Of The Breakfast And Snack Habits Of Adventist And Non-Adventist Adolescents, Consuelo A. Bustista
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
A study was undertaken to survey by questionnaire and interview methods the breakfast and snack habits of Adventist and non-Adventist adolescents. The purposes of the study were: (I) to find out if there is any difference in the practices of Adventist and non-Adventist teenagers, and (2) to determine their attitudes toward snacking and omission of breakfast.
Results of the questionnaire were coded, punched onto IBM cards, and fed into computing machines for item and statistical analysis. Chi-square test analyses were done on denominational classification against some questions of interest to show any significant differences between Adventist and non-Adventist students' responses. …

An Investigation Of Personality Differences Between Smokers And Nonsmokers And The Reduction Of Dissonance, John B. Wolf Iii
Master's Theses
This thesis wil deal with alternative methods of cognitive dissonance. Primarily, the concern will be with the relationship between personality characteristics and methods of reduction. The question of personality related preferences for dissonance reduction may be studied by comparing individuals with similar personality characteristics.
Suggestibility And Its Relationship To Instructional Set In Serial Learning, Richard Walter Giroux
Suggestibility And Its Relationship To Instructional Set In Serial Learning, Richard Walter Giroux
All Master's Theses
The purpose of this study was to attempt to determine the influence of two variables, suggestibility and instructional set, upon the individual's performance in a serial learning task. The attempt was made to find whether it is the instructional set that affects the outcome of a serial learning task or whether it is suggestibility that is the primary variable. The approach to this problem was based upon past studies in three different areas of psychological research. These were the areas of set, serial learning, and suggestibility.

The Effect Of Electroconvulsive Shock Following One-Trial Avoidance Learning In The Rat, Richard H. Lovely
The Effect Of Electroconvulsive Shock Following One-Trial Avoidance Learning In The Rat, Richard H. Lovely
All Master's Theses
It is hypothesized that (1) If rats are given electroconvulsive shock, following a footshock to condition an avoidance response, they will display initial retrograde amnesia and that this amnesia will diminish over time as manifested by recovery of the avoidance response; (2) This recovery is not a pure function of time but involves re-exposure to the original learning situation.

All Master's Theses
The research presented in this paper is primarily concerned with the difficulties imposed on the Hull-Spence learning theory by the effects of partial reinforcement on response acquisition.
Operantly Conditioning A Boy’S Classroom Behavior, Daniel Lee Mcivor
Operantly Conditioning A Boy’S Classroom Behavior, Daniel Lee Mcivor
All Master's Theses
It was hypothesized that (a) if attending and correct responses were followed by approving attention from the staff, then the rates of attending and giving correct responses would significantly increase; (b) if yelling, rocking, and hitting were immediately followed by a command to stop, or by placement in a time-out room, then the rates of those behaviors would significantly decrease; and (c) if the above conditioning procedures were dropped, then the rates of all behaviors under study would return toward their operant levels.
The Effect Of Shifts In Reward Magnitude And Changes Of Schedule Of Reinforcement On Resistance To Extinction, Richard James Boylan
The Effect Of Shifts In Reward Magnitude And Changes Of Schedule Of Reinforcement On Resistance To Extinction, Richard James Boylan
All Master's Theses
The problem concerned the resistance to extinction of an alley running response as a function of various combinations of reward sizes (l or 10 pellets) and schedules of reinforcement (50 or 100%). Three experimental phases were used (acquisition, shift of reward, and extinction). Three measures were taken in the alley (start, alley, and goal speed). Animals trained under partial reinforcement (PRF) showed no significant differences in acquisition running speed over animals trained on continuous reinforcement (CRF). Depression effects (decreases in running speed) were observed for both CRF and PRF trained animals during the shift phase. Overall tests between PRF and …
The Effectiveness Of The Presentation And Removal Of Money As Reward And Punishment In A Paired-Associate-Constant Order Learning Task, John B. Baughman
The Effectiveness Of The Presentation And Removal Of Money As Reward And Punishment In A Paired-Associate-Constant Order Learning Task, John B. Baughman
All Master's Theses
This type of research is believed to be important because of the implications it would seem to have for educational techniques. For example, a program could be instituted at the high school level whereby students would be rewarded with money for maintaining a certain academic standard but punished by the removal of a portion of this money for dropping below that standard. This technique might, in addition to facilitating their learning, act as a motivator in keeping them in school since many students drop out in order to make some money.
Meaningfulness And Similarity As Determinants Of Verbal Retention, Walter S. Heins
Meaningfulness And Similarity As Determinants Of Verbal Retention, Walter S. Heins
All Master's Theses
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the relationships and interaction between two factors--meaningfulness (m) and similarity (s) as these factors affect the retention and recall of high and low m consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) trigrams.
Conservatism In A Bayesian Probability Situation As A Function Of The Sex Of The Subject, Paul Frederick Miller
Conservatism In A Bayesian Probability Situation As A Function Of The Sex Of The Subject, Paul Frederick Miller
All Master's Theses
The present study was designed to examine whether the conservatism present in a Bayesian probability situation could be partially attributable to the sex of the subjects performing the task. The experimental design required that the subjects estimate the probabilities of occurrence of two independent events. They were then given an opportunity to revise their estimates as additional information was experimentally introduced into the situation. These estimates were compared to estimates calculated from Bayes’ theorem.
A Comparative Study Of Selected Personality Characteristics Of Students Who Cheat And Do Not Cheat In An Academic Situation, Walter G. Mcintire
A Comparative Study Of Selected Personality Characteristics Of Students Who Cheat And Do Not Cheat In An Academic Situation, Walter G. Mcintire
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to determine if there were significant personality differences between students who cheat in a given academic situation and students who do not cheat in the same situation. This was examined in terms of manifest needs, personality structure, and certain attitudes and values relative to the circumstances and setting in which the behavior occurred.
The sample studied consisted of 64 students, classified into 8 groups, from a class of 198 students enrolled in Psychology 213, Educational Psychology, at the University of North Dakota during the spring semester of the 1965--66 academic year.
The students were …

A Study Of The Accuracy Of Prediction Motion In Depth, Neal I. Gelfand
A Study Of The Accuracy Of Prediction Motion In Depth, Neal I. Gelfand
Masters Theses
The study examined the effects of five variables: knowledge of results, distance, stimulus gradient, target speed, and temporal delay (a measure of temporal relationship between the target and standard) on the accuracy with which 3s could predict the arrival of a moving target at the position of a stationary standard.
The results of an analysis of variance on the data obtained from 52 Ss indicated that the variables of knowledge of results, distance.- speed, and temporal delay had statistically significant effects; but no statistical significance was indicated for effects of the gradient variable. Three statistically significant interactions were also indicated: …

A Comparative Study Of Flexibility Between Institutional And Community, Male, Adolescent Retardates, Casper Ferneti
A Comparative Study Of Flexibility Between Institutional And Community, Male, Adolescent Retardates, Casper Ferneti
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
This study was undertaken for the purpose of investigating the possibility of an appreciable difference in flexibility between institutional and community male, adolescent, retardates. The property of flexibility was chosen for investigation since the development of this attribute seems to be critical to occupational success in terms of satisfactory, inter-personal relationships. To begin with, an incidental sample was selected from the two Shawnee County special education classrooms in Topeka, Kansas. Matched for chronological age and verbal IQ, a second sample was chosen from the Parsons State Hospital and Training Center, Parsons, Kansas. A test was developed to measure spontaneous semantic …
The Effect Of Overlearning And The Associative Value Of The Stimuli Upon Reversal Learning, Ralph Daniel Marken
The Effect Of Overlearning And The Associative Value Of The Stimuli Upon Reversal Learning, Ralph Daniel Marken
All Master's Theses
In this experiment the relevance of the associative value of the stimuli in an overlearning reversal task will be examined as well as the persistence to respond to the former positive stimulus after reversal. That is, (1) Does the associative value of the stimuli have an effect upon the occurrence of the ORE, and (2) Do human Ss who have received overlearning tend to respond to the former positive stimulus upon reversal for more trials than do subjects receiving no overlearning as has been found for animals?
