A Photometric Method Of Studying The Control Of Handedness By The Cerebral Cortex Of The Rat, Donald K. Gucker May 1959

A Photometric Method Of Studying The Control Of Handedness By The Cerebral Cortex Of The Rat, Donald K. Gucker

Psychology ETDs

This study is designed to compare the amount of light impedance occurring in the cortical areas controlling the preferred and non-preferred limb in the rat, in an attempt to relate optical density of structure to preferential handedness.


Electrical Desiccation As A Method For Marking Functional Cortical Areas, Kenneth R. Earp May 1959

Electrical Desiccation As A Method For Marking Functional Cortical Areas, Kenneth R. Earp

Psychology ETDs

The present study is concerned specifically with whether a means can be found to make a mark at the point where handedness has been localized by electrical stimulation without producing changes in that area sufficient to alter its functioning.


The Influence Of Error Density On Error Detection Efficiency, Edward A. Ahr Jan 1959

The Influence Of Error Density On Error Detection Efficiency, Edward A. Ahr

Psychology ETDs

Statement of the problem.—It was the purpose of this study (a) to investigate the effect of error density (level, rate, or number of errors) on checking efficiency in a proofreading situation under normal conditions, i.e., comfortable working conditions without stress; and (b) to investigate the effects of experience in detecting errors at one level of density on the detection of errors at a later time in which the density level has been changed. This would show if there is a relationship between signal detection and habituation as well as signal density, and would reflect the possible role of learning in …
