The Iowa Academy Of Science In Relation To Its Contributions To The Welfare Of The Commonwealth Of The State And Nation, J. N. Martin Jan 1944

The Iowa Academy Of Science In Relation To Its Contributions To The Welfare Of The Commonwealth Of The State And Nation, J. N. Martin

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

State Academies have seemingly had their greatest success in the Central-Western states. In these states the more isolated conditions of the scientific workers made the need for such organizations keenly felt. But, important as the academies have been in broadening and shaping the scientific views and attitudes of their members and in stimulating the scientific endeavors of its members and others within the scope of their influence, they quite early in their history took on another function of great importance. They soon began to serve in advisory capacities on various scientific problems concerning the welfare of the state and even …

Clinical Analysis Of A Specific Case In Remedial Reading, Evelyn C. Courtney Jan 1944

Clinical Analysis Of A Specific Case In Remedial Reading, Evelyn C. Courtney

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A great many studies of group differences in reading speed and comprehension have been reported, notably, by Gates (2), Gray (3), Betts (1), and others, but very few intensive studies of individual cases have been published. The specific case herein reported is that of C, a normal, healthy, well-developed high school boy of sixteen years. He came to the Psychology Department at Iowa State College upon recommendation of a private tutor to receive clinical help in remedial reading. The case was delegated to the writer as a specific problem in educational psychology. The problem developed, it seems, when C was …


Scholastic Progress Of Students Entering The Iowa State College With Low High School Averages, John L. Holmes Jan 1944

Scholastic Progress Of Students Entering The Iowa State College With Low High School Averages, John L. Holmes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In the fall quarters of 1939 and 1940 students entering the Iowa State College directly from high school with averages below 1.5l1 were grouped together in a "pre-admission guidance" program. In the two years considered, ninety-six students with high school averages below 1.51 entered the Iowa State College. The program was the same for both years. The students included in the program were asked to be on the campus two days before regular freshman week began. During these two days they were given tests of scholastic ability, silent reading skills, English and mathematics achievement. Fall quarter class schedules were made …

The Attention Value Of Color Evaluated By Means Of Ocular Photography, Herman F. Brandt Jan 1943

The Attention Value Of Color Evaluated By Means Of Ocular Photography, Herman F. Brandt

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Innumerable research studies have been made to evaluate the intensity of color. The general consensus of opinion is that color has attentional advantages over black and white, and in order to gain and sustain attention a bit of chroma thrown in will generally solve the problem. The purpose of this study was to evaluate by means of ocular photography. The attensity of red as compared to black and white of a given field.

Ocular Photography As A Scientific Approach To The Study Of Art, Herman F. Brandt Jan 1942

Ocular Photography As A Scientific Approach To The Study Of Art, Herman F. Brandt

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Regardless of how we look at art we project into the art object the response as expressed by individuals. Whether we judge design or color we evaluate it in the light of our own response to it. Since this is the general procedure in arriving at a decision in judging paintings or statuary we need to make inquiry as to just what behavior is involved in making such a choice.

Survey Courses In Mathematics, O. C. Kreider Jan 1942

Survey Courses In Mathematics, O. C. Kreider

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Many ideas have invaded mathematical discussions in recent times and have pointed out the need for survey courses in mathematics. By some, the people who presented these ideas have been considered fifth columnists to entice us away from our national traditional courses in mathematics. In our present crisis we find our national educational domain disarmed and at a disadvantage in the mathematical field.


Three Comparisons Of Retroactive And Proactive Inhibition, Benton J. Underwood Jan 1942

Three Comparisons Of Retroactive And Proactive Inhibition, Benton J. Underwood

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Retroactive inhibition (RI) has long been recognized as one of the most potent factors in forgetting. Of relative recent treatment is the forgetting produced by the operations defining proactive inhibition (PI). If RI is defined as a decrement in the recall of an activity as a result of other activity intervening between the original learning and recall, PI may be defined as a decrement in recall as a consequence of an activity which took place prior to the original learning.
