Relation Of Grade-Point Averages And Placement Test Scores To Analytic Tendency And To Performance On The Iowa Pursuitmeter, Guy H. Miles, Don Lewis

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Miles, in two closely related investigations (5, 6), dichotomized male subjects on the basis of their statements as to how they had gone about solving several block design problems of the Kohs type. The two categories were analyzers and non-analyzers. Subjects were classified as analyzers if their a posteriori verbalizations indicated a tendency, at the conceptual level, to break each design down into parts before any blocks were actually moved. They were classified as non-analyzers if their statements failed to suggest that a breaking-into-parts approach had been employed. In the common run of male undergraduate students at the State University, …

A Preliminary Investigation Of The Relationship Between Gsr, Heart Rate Change And Eyelid Conditioning, W. N. Runquist, L. E. Ross

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Recent studies of classical defense conditioning at the Iowa laboratory have been concerned largely with the relation of drive level (D) to level of performance in conditioning. According to the theoretical formulation offered of the results of these studies, the associative factor, H, _and drive factor, D, combine multiplicatively to determine reaction potential, E, which in turn determines the strength of the response, i.e., R = f (E) = f(H) X f(D). It has further been assumed that D is a function of (a) the intensity of the UCS, and (b) the score on the Manifest Anxiety (A) scale (8). …

Three Attempts To Determine The Effects Of An Appetitive Secondary Reinforcer On The Extinction Of An Avoidance Response, Harold Babb, Coral A. Fitterman, James H. Paulson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A study by Pavlov (5, p. 30) indicated that normally painful stimuli applied while hungry dogs were feeding produced less overall avoidance behavior than at times when they were not feeding. In a still earlier study, Jones (3) reported that extinction of avoidance to a feared stimulus was hastened by gradually introducing the stimulus while the child subject was eating. More recently, Farber (1) has presented evidence that feeding in the presence of anxiety-producing cues hastened later extinction to those cues as compared to control animals which did not receive the feeding experience. In Miller's words (4): "Eating and …

The Self-Identified Problems Of College Students, John A. Bath

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Analyses of college students' problems have been made from time to time for various purposes. One of the primary motives seems to have been to use such information to improve counseling services. Both Carr (1) and Stone (4) used the Mooney Problem Check List as the source of information about student problems at the college level. Carr compared the problems of 300 superior college students with 300 inferior students. Although superior students had fewer problems, they had an equivalent number in seven of the eleven problem areas when compared with the inferior students. Superior students were more concerned with long-range …

Critical Thinking Development Among Physical Science Students, Philip J. Lorenz

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The physical science course for nonscience students has the following objectives: subject matter achievement, an understanding of the methods and philosophy of science, and the development of critical thinking ability. Also, courses of this type offer unparalleled opportunities as a public relations medium between the world of science and the educated layman. It was found that most college freshmen enrolling in the physical science course had little academic experience in the solution of problems requiring critical thinking. However, they were usually quite proficient in work depending mainly upon memorization and seemed to expect questions requiring only this ability. At the …

A Preliminary Study On Foreign Personnel Selection, Herbert Paul Froehlich

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The problem is not the usual one of trying to predict behavior relevant to an individual's daily activities, but that of predicting how an individual will behave in and adapt to an environment in which he has never found himself, or ever thought he would find himself. Involved in such prediction is the question of whether the individual will behave as predicted once he comes in contact with the new environment. This may be the situation facing a company wanting to locate abroad, hiring native employees together with some Americans. The expense of training, ill-will, loss of production, etc., created …

A Comparative Study Of Two Approaches To The Teaching Of Area In The Junior High School, Margaret Patricia Green

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It was the purpose of this study to compare the amount of information learned and retained by the students through two approaches to teaching the topic of Area. One approach followed the material presented in a seventh grade arithmetic book; the other followed the material presented in a unit especially constructed for this experiment. The investigation was directed toward the question: Was there a difference between the two teaching methods as measured by the amount of information learned and retained by the students participating in this experiment?

A Follow-Up Study Of Fifty Selected Individuals Who Terminated Their Formal Education In The Special Education Department Of The Waterloo, Iowa, Public Schools, Alwilda N. Howell

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

In a democratic society, an educated child may be considered as a natural resource of the nation. Education in the United States is based on the democratic philosophy that all children are entitled, whenever possible, to an education commensurate with their abilities, and that they have the right to experiences and opportunities that are considered normal for all children. In discussing what education in a democracy entailed, Alice Channing of the Children's Bureau wrote, "Democratic education means, not that the same education must be available to all children, but rather that all children have the right to be educated or …

Vocabulary And Achievement In Developmental Psychology, Don C. Charles, John A. Bath

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between achievement in an introductory course in developmental psychology and knowledge of word-meanings in that area. It is a preliminary study, to be expanded as additional data are collected. Several studies exist which show a significant relationship between general vocabulary and college grade-point average, usually the first term average. The studies of Bernard (1), Bolton (2), and Templeman (4) are typical. Levine (3) developed a psychological vocabulary test in analogy form at the University of Minnesota which is used for both selection and evaluation in graduate and undergraduate psychology classes …

Operant Discrimination In The Schooling Fish, Brachydanio Rerio, Bill B. Jackson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Although many species of fishes normally congregate in schools, the majority of these fishes will successfully survive in an individual existence. However, the question has been raised as to what extent the operant behavior of schooling fishes remains unchanged when they are isolated from the group. Experiments by Welty (1934) have indicated that goldfish learn mazes more rapidly when grouped than when isolated. Further, he found that motor responses are retained by a group better than by an individual. Breder and Halpern (1946) point out that fishes will sometimes not feed until they see a companion feeding. In order …
