The Function Of Prior Conditions Of Success Or Failure Upon Subsequent, Non-Related Tasks, William Martin Oct 1970

The Function Of Prior Conditions Of Success Or Failure Upon Subsequent, Non-Related Tasks, William Martin

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

A sample of 32 Ss were drawn from the third through sixth grades and success or failure conditions were experimentally induced. The effects of these conditions were then determined on a subsequent, non-related task; the Block Design subtest of the WISC. Results indicated that these conditions do have a significant (p<.01) effect on the subsequent performance, although, this significance diminishes rapidly over a period of delay (24 hours). The study is limited in scope and in sample, but research implications are numerous and should include varied exposure to the success-failure conditions and the related effects of varied time-lapse intervals. Attention should be given to the differential effects of the two conditions and to the possibility that success-failure orientations may be significant factors in determining the quality of subsequent performance.

Whenever the minister performs his roles in a manner that is contrary to the expectations of the membership of his church or the community the result is a role discord. Role discord also occurs when the minister performs his roles in a way that contradicts his own self-image of his roles. Therefore, this thesis will have as …


Type Of Instruction, Abstractness, And Mnemonic System, Gordon Wood, Martin Bolt Jan 1970

Type Of Instruction, Abstractness, And Mnemonic System, Gordon Wood, Martin Bolt

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

Two experiments were conducted to determine if the effect of manipulating imagery instructions and peg list abstractness depends on whether a paired-associate or one-bun technique is used. It appears that the paired-associate and one-bun techniques yield comparable results regarding the effectiveness of imagery instructions and peg list abstractness.
