Response Strength As A Function Of Alley Length And Time Of Deprivation, Norma C. Fredenburg Jan 1956

Response Strength As A Function Of Alley Length And Time Of Deprivation, Norma C. Fredenburg

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The present study has been formulated to test Hull's assumption of differential formation of habit strength of the initial S-R components of response chains of different length. A factorial design with two lengths of alley and 1\Hl times of food deprivation was employed. From the assumptions of 1) differential drive based upon food privation, 2) differential habit based upon alley length, and 3) the multiplicative relationship between drive level and habit strength, a larger difference between the response strengths for long and short chains would he predicted for the high drive groups than for the low drive groups. Incidental to …

Age And Handedness As Factors In The Performance Of A Complex Pursuit Task: Results Of A Study At The Iowa State Fair, Guy H. Miles, Don Lewis Jan 1956

Age And Handedness As Factors In The Performance Of A Complex Pursuit Task: Results Of A Study At The Iowa State Fair, Guy H. Miles, Don Lewis

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In connection with systematic studies of the underlying variables which affect the learning and retention of complex skills, it has been found that certain patterns of response-the steering and pointing patterns, in particular--are firmly ingrained in the average person before adulthood is reached. They are so rigidly fixed that alterations of them are extremely difficult to produce in reasonable lengths of time, under laboratory conditions. They depend on a high degree of coordination of perceptual and motor components of behavior, and are presumably acquired during many years of reinforced practice. Steering left when turning right is desired is seemingly as …

Comparing Inventory Items By Use Of Ibm Punch Cards, Virtus W. Suhr Jan 1956

Comparing Inventory Items By Use Of Ibm Punch Cards, Virtus W. Suhr

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Extensive analysis of specific inventory-item information on large numbers of any extended form by ordinary methods would be practically impossible due to the volume and labor involved. To overcome this obstacle it is necessary to put the data into a form in which large numbers of completed inventories can be item analyzed easily and quickly but without losing completeness and individuality. A system using IBM punch cards seemed to meet all of these conditions when a counting or statistical sorter is available. The IBM punch card, as shown in Figure 1, is known to most research workers. Data, after having …


Frequency Analysis Of Eegs Of Stutterers And Normal Speakers During Photic Stimulation, Robert E. Correll Jan 1956

Frequency Analysis Of Eegs Of Stutterers And Normal Speakers During Photic Stimulation, Robert E. Correll

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In the past, numerous investigators have attempted to demonstrate differences between the electroencephalograms of normal speakers and stutterers. These studies have utilized both unilateral and bilateral recordings and have used measures of per cent time alpha, isomorphism (defined in terms of similarity of the waveforms of the two hemispheres) and synchronization (defined in terms of phase relationships existing between the waves in the two hemispheres). Some consistencies have been found, but many of the studies still require validation.


Relationships Between Number Of Verbal Associations To Value Words And Subjective Ratings Of Values, Alice Van Krevelen Jan 1956

Relationships Between Number Of Verbal Associations To Value Words And Subjective Ratings Of Values, Alice Van Krevelen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This study attempts to demonstrate whether or not there is a relationship between Ss' rankings of statements descriptive of Spranger's values and the number of verbal associations made by the same Ss to nouns referring to these values. Noble (2) has demonstrated that one may define the meaningfulness of a stimulus word in terms of the number of associations to this word written by Ss within a prescribed time. Bousfield and Samborski (1) using the written association method of Noble attempted to test the hypothesis that for individuals the relative strength of personal values should correlate positively with the extent …


Mmpi Profiles Of A College Faculty Group, Thomas Loring Appleby, Charles F. Haner Jan 1956

Mmpi Profiles Of A College Faculty Group, Thomas Loring Appleby, Charles F. Haner

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The present investigation undertook to assess the personality characteristics of a group of experienced college teachers as measured by the MMPI. The aim was to determine if characteristic profiles existed which would supplement existing data on population sub-groups and which might serve as an aid in vocational guidance. Break-downs by sex and college division or department were planned.


Validation Of The Grassi Block Substitution Test For Measuring Brain Pathology, Michael Hirt Jan 1956

Validation Of The Grassi Block Substitution Test For Measuring Brain Pathology, Michael Hirt

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The human brain is most vulnerable from two sources of damage: external trauma and chemical reactions. We now recognize and distinguish two types of symptoms following brain damage: neurological and psychological. In this study emphasis will be placed upon the psychological behavior of the individual. This is justified with the understanding that the psychological behavior will reflect to some extent the neurological changes which might have occurred in the brain. Furthermore, the concern in this study is with that part of behavior which is evoked whenever there is organic involvement and to which it is possible to apply accepted psychometric …


The Effect Of Stimulus Intensities Upon Sensory Pre-Conditioning, Givens L. Thornton Jan 1956

The Effect Of Stimulus Intensities Upon Sensory Pre-Conditioning, Givens L. Thornton

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The phenomenon of sensory pre-conditioning was noted originally by Brogden (3) and, for the purpose of this study, may be described in three parts as follows. In part one, Ss are presented with a number of simultaneous pairings of two neutral stimuli, e.g., bell and light. Following this, one stimulus, for example the bell, is made the CS for an avoidance response. Part three consists of presenting the other stimulus (light) for the purpose of determining to what extent it also will elicit the same response as a result of its prior association with the first.

The Role Of Special Instructions In The Successive Performance Of Different Tasks On The Star Discrimeter, Stephanie Pisoni, Allan R. Wagner Jan 1956

The Role Of Special Instructions In The Successive Performance Of Different Tasks On The Star Discrimeter, Stephanie Pisoni, Allan R. Wagner

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The problem was to determine the facilitating and/or interfering effects of knowledge concerning the kinds of change that might be made in shifting from a perceptual-motor task that has just been learned to a subsequent interpolated task. The experimental design called for original learning (OL), interpolated learning (IL), and relearning (RL) phases of practice, with the period for informative instructions coming between the OL and IL phases. Task A was used for OL and RL and either Task B or Task J for IL. Familiarity with the principal features of the tasks will help in explaining the problem.


Retention Of Skill On The Sam Complex Coordinator, Don Lewis, William F. Lowe Jan 1956

Retention Of Skill On The Sam Complex Coordinator, Don Lewis, William F. Lowe

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Systematic laboratory studies of retention-retention beyond a few hours or a few days-of skill in performing complex perceptual motor tasks are in short supply. In contrast there is no shortage of anecdotal accounts of phenomenal proficiency in typing, ice skating, bicycle riding, and the like, displayed after years (and years) without practice. Largely as a consequence of anecdotes, many erudite persons (with some psychologists in the forefront among them) firmly believe that all motor skills are retained indefinitely while verbal and other symbolic materials are soon forgotten.

Forming Impressions Of Personality: An Experimental Critique, Harry A. Grace Jan 1956

Forming Impressions Of Personality: An Experimental Critique, Harry A. Grace

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Asch's recent text (2) emphasizes his experiment on the formation of impressions (1). Asch read seven words to two groups of subjects. The fourth word for Group A was warm and the fourth for Group B was cold. The order of the words for both groups was: intelligent, skillful, industrious, warm (cold), determined, practical, cautious. After the list had been read, subjects were instructed to choose the more appropriate word from each of 18 pairs of antonyms. The percentage of agreement with the "positive" word of each pair of antonyms was determined for both groups. Groups A and B differed …

Criteria For The Utilization Of Teacher Committees In Planning New School Buildings, Robert D. Benton Jan 1956

Criteria For The Utilization Of Teacher Committees In Planning New School Buildings, Robert D. Benton

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

A neat, marble-columned school building stood on a hill overlooking the bustling main street and the neat, well-kept homes of Hometown, Iowa. The dedication ceremonies for the building had been held late the previous spring, and the bright, well-lighted classrooms were ready for the fall influx of students. The school building had been the fulfillment of many years of dreaming, planning, and working. Mr. Jones, the superintendent, had spent countless hours in laying out the floor plan just as he thought it should be. Interested citizens had offered their suggestions. which had been graciously accepted, and, for the most part, …
