The Effect Of Special Class Placement And Remediation On The Self-Concept Of The Learning Disabled Child, Marianne Seibert
The Effect Of Special Class Placement And Remediation On The Self-Concept Of The Learning Disabled Child, Marianne Seibert
Master's Theses
Results of this study do seem to indicate that learning disabled children enrolled in a heterogeneously grouped classroom develop appraisals of self in academic areas separate from a more general, overall perception of self. If this is the case, estimates of a global self-concept may cloud important differences in the individual components of self-concept.
Age And Sex Differences, Meaningfulness And Formal Similarity In A Verbal Discrimination Task, Aleen Burke Dempster
Age And Sex Differences, Meaningfulness And Formal Similarity In A Verbal Discrimination Task, Aleen Burke Dempster
Master's Theses
The present investigation is concerned with learning in the aged. The task is a verbal discrimination one, in which the dimensions of meaningfulness and formal intrapair similarity are examined. The study is ontogenetic in the limited sense that the older sample, over 60 years of age, is compared to a sample of college age youth.
Absolute And Relative Bidirectional Transfer In Verbal Conflict Resolution Tasks, John Milam Brame
Absolute And Relative Bidirectional Transfer In Verbal Conflict Resolution Tasks, John Milam Brame
Master's Theses
Prior exposure to difficult motor conflicts has been shown to impede later performance in resolving easier conflicts. To determine if similar negative transfer occurred with verbal conflicts, 80 undergraduates resolved conflicts formed by pairig seven personal characteristic adjectives. Additional transfer effects associated with moving from easier to more difficult conflicts were also examied. Using a conflict resolution board, one group of Ss resolved 10 double approach-avoidance (DAP-AV} conflicts followed by 10 approach-approach (AP-AP} conflicts, and another group transferred from AP-AP to DAP-AV. Two additional groups, which resolved 20 conflicts of the same type (AP-AP or DAP-AV), were used in assessing …
Experimenter-Supplied Versus Subject-Originated Descriptive Sentence And Mediation Mnemonics In A Modified Paied-Associate Learning Task, Jospeh Albert Garten
Experimenter-Supplied Versus Subject-Originated Descriptive Sentence And Mediation Mnemonics In A Modified Paied-Associate Learning Task, Jospeh Albert Garten
Master's Theses
The purpose of the present experiment was to compare the effectiveness of E-supplied and S-originated descriptive sentence and mediation mnemonics to a simple repetition con- dition in a modified paired-associate learning task. The S-originated devices were significantly superior to the E supplied aids at the 2-day and 1-week retention intervals. All mnemonic conditions produced significantly higher retention than the mediation E-supplied and SR conditions at the 8-week level.
There were no differences in recall between the two S-originated or between the-E-supplied conditions at the 2-day and 1-week intervals. It was concluded that the source of the mnemonic was the crucial …
The Effect Of Public Commitment On Attitudes In Consonant And Dissonant Situations, Mark Joseph Slichter
The Effect Of Public Commitment On Attitudes In Consonant And Dissonant Situations, Mark Joseph Slichter
Master's Theses
A primary objective of the study was to treat commitment as a discrete independent.variable, avoiding the confusion resulting from inferential and partially confounded designs employed in most previous commitment studies, and this objective was achieved. Separation of commitment as a distinct variable allows specific inferences to be made about its function in the attitude change process.
