Schedules Of Reinforcement With Intracranial Simulation, Randall K. Flory '64

Honors Projects

Mixed and multiple aperiodic and ratio schedules of reinforcement were maintained by rats which had stainless steel electrodes surgically implanted in specific areas of their midbrains. The "reinforcing" stimulus used was a 100-cycle biphasic, square wave of a one-second duration. The voltage ranged from 1.0 to 2.0 volts and the current from .10 to .50 milliamperes.

Furthermore, once these needs are satisfied, change toward conformity tends to carry over …

Reliability Of Measurements Of Level Of Intellectual Functioning Of Geriatric Patients, Janet Aline Baker

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The primary purpose of this study was to measure geriatric patients’ levels of intellectual functioning in order to determine the reliability of several specific test instruments. From the battery of measurements used in the study, it was an additional objective to recommend which of these test instruments, or combination thereof, would be most applicable for geriatric patients, based on the empirical findings of this study.

Level of intellectual functioning may certainly be influenced by many factors. Therefore, it was part of this study to measure and control for the effects of the following variable: sex, age, education, and medication.
