A Philosophy Of Mutuality In Martin Buber's Writings--Implications For Mainstreaming, Dorothy M. Rath

Theses and Dissertations

The study suggests a relationship which exists between Martin Buber's philosophy of mutuality and a humanistic educational mainstreaming. Mandated by parent-initiated legislation, mainstreaming is intended to reduce the isolation of the handicapped by including them as nearly as possible within the larger group in the regular class, and by giving them greater access to educational resources. This becomes problematic even for those handicapped children in nearest physical proximity. Among the obstacles are society's frequent exclusionist response to the different reflected in the school's preference for homogeneity, and the ideas of competition which dominate education.

The literature indicates that mainstreaming in …

Differential Hemispheric Specialization And Its Relationship To Repression, Shirley K. Tyler

Theses and Dissertations

In Freud’s early formulations regarding a model of the mind, he suggested that repressed material functioned in a separate realm of the mind which was inaccessible to conscious recall or verbal inquiry. Based on studies of split-brain patients and studies of the differential functioning of the cerebral hemispheres, Galin (1977) has suggested that the right cerebral hemisphere may be the locus of unconscious mental contents.

Research with patient populations and normals has shown that each cerebral hemisphere is specialized for a different cognitive style. Right hemisphere cognition is similar in many respects to primary process thinking: global, nonverbal, imaginal, nonlinear …

Differential Patterns Of Interference During Concurrent Task Performance For The Two Cerebral Hemispheres, Carole H. Hayne

Theses and Dissertations

In this experiment differential hemispheric processing demands in four cognitive tasks, two verbal and two non-verbal, were measured using a simple reaction time probe procedure. The procedure also measured the interference between the reaction time probe and the verbal and nonverbal tasks. The method used was similar to that found in information processing research using a concurrent task procedure to measure processing demands during primary task performance (Posner & Boies 1971). In the concurrent task procedure the subject is requested to perform two tasks at the same time: a cognitive (primary) task and a reaction time probe (secondary task). The …

Symbolism In Debussy's Music, Kathryn June Lucas

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which Debussy was influenced by the Symbolist poets. In order to accomplish this objective, biographical details have been incorporated with the findings that Debussy entered the literary milieu early in his life and became directly involved with the new developments taking place in literature. The Symbolist aesthetic is explained first in terms of the unifying characteristics tying the movement together and then in terms of the specific techniques used by the poets to realize their ideals. A similar approach is used to analyze Debussy’s aesthetic; there is a discussion …
