A concise definition of engineering psychology is: the study of human behavior in the man-machine relationship (3).

For many years a difference of opinion has existed regarding the relative reading ease of different versions of the Bible, the majority of the arguments made by the various factions have been based upon limited observation, and in no instance has experimental evidence been presented to support the contentions of any group.

A Study Of Factors That Discriminate Between Different Degrees Of Religiousness In People, Stuart W. Omohundro

Master's Theses

The first question that will probably confront the reader of this paper will be, what is meant by religiousness, be measured or compared between personalities or groups? The same question has been asked of psychologists about other terms such as intelligence and emotion, either of which could be substituted in the title of this paper and still not make it any clearer. The answers to this question have varied except where operational definitions have been demanded, which, of course, boil down to emotional or intellectual behavior as measured by a given test in relationship to others taking the test. Religiousness …

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It is the standard practice in colleges and universities to administer to all entering students a battery of tests which are designed to measure the aptitude and ability of students. Each institution uses in its test battery those tests which are best suited to its particular needs, but in the main they consist of measures of general mental ability, the ability to understand and use the English language and the ability to understand and to use mathematical symbols. These tests are available to the institution through companies which construct and standardize tests of all kinds. In addition to these tests, …

An Experimental Investigation Of Lashley And Wade's "The Pavlovian Theory Of Generalization", Allen B. Madans

Psychology ETDs

In the following paper, the term "stimulus generalization" will appear many times. As a matter of convenience it will be abbreviated to "SG".

The best type of definition to give for SG is an operational one. Although the operational definition loses its generality, it gains by providing at least one concrete illustration of the phenomenon with which this paper deals. The following illustration is taken from the experimental literature in most part, and it is the type of illustration that is recognized both by those for and those against SG as demonstrating the phenomenon of SG...Despite the great amount of …

On Expressive Language, Heinz Werner

Heinz Werner Lectures

"The ubiquity of "expressive language" and its protean character imposes on those who desire to study it the acceptance of a truly interdisciplinary view, i.e., the willingness to recognize the contributions that the perspectives of other disciplines offer to one's own studies, without striving to reduce all perspectives to one's own."
