The Localization Of Sound By Wave Phase In The Open Ear, Henry M. Halverson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Wave phase localization may be studied under normal conditions; ie, without the aid of conductors to the ears. Our apparatus consists of two telephone receivers connected in series from the same source. If the receivers are so energized as to produce a pure tone, the observer, by closing one ear and moving the head carefully from one source to the other, (the side of the head parallel to the axis of the receivers) will experience a series of "highs" and "lows" in intensity. These points of maximum and minimum intensity correspond exactly to the points of reinforcement and interference as …

The Personal Equation In Motor Ability, Martin L. Reymert

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In order to try out experimentally the common notion, that an individual will show a constant behaviour as to speed and accuracy in all kinds of motor performance - within his group - a series of reaction and motor tests were given to sophomores. The tests were: (1) Tapping in group (with pencil). (2) Individual tapping (on telegraph key). (3) Counting numbers orally. (4) Writing numbers. (5) Counting and writing as one combined activity. Simple bodily reactions of (6) the lips, (7) the jaws, (8) the index finger, (9) the head, (10) the elbow, (11) the thumb, (12) the foot. …

The Iowa Pitch Range Audiometer, C. C. Bunch

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The ideal apparatus for measuring the acuity of the ear should enable one to determine the faintest audible sound at each and every pitch within the tonal range. It should be easily and quickly operated and should be permanently standardized. The Pitch Range Audiometer is an approach to this ideal.

The Selection Of Talent For Stenography And Typing, Benjamin W. Robinson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

H. C. Link states that "The application of psychological tests in those fields where their value has been verified, is the only method short of the laborious and costly method of trial and error, which makes it possible to discover the exact ability, both innate and acquired, of an individual. Unless these facts are known, it becomes impossible to assign the individual to the work for which he is best fitted or to give him the training which he deserves. Once the potential and actual ability of an individual has been discovered the vocational selection or training of that individual …

The Measurement Of Motility In Children, Lillian Tow

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

What we expect and demand in discipline and performance at each age should depend upon a child's development, mental, physical, and functional. In this laboratory the evaluation for scientific and diagnostic purposes of motor rather than mental capacities is being stressed. The object of this investigation is to find what the motor equipment of children is on entering school. The discovery of the basic motor tests which applied at five and six years of age will give results which are reliable and significant in that they throw light on motor ability. Previous investigations on young children have had for their …

A Measure Of Capacity For Acquiring Skill In Coordination Of Eye And Hand, Wilhelmine Koerth

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Because success in many industries and activities depends to a large extent on ability to acquire skill in coordination of eye and hand, a measure of this capacity would prove very serviceable in both vocational guidance and selection. We are now trying to determine whether an apparatus providing a moving target of known size, following a constant predictable path at a uniform rate of speed will give an index of such capacity. This index is to be found by measuring the observer's ability to hold a ringed, metallic pointer on the moving target.

The Normal Curve Of Acuity In Hearing, Paul B. Anderson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The speaker reported on the establishment of norms on the basis of records made by Mr. Bunch with the Iowa Pitch Range Audiometer. The normal curve of acuity of hearing, based upon twenty-four cases of music pupils, was exhibited. In this figure the intensity of the sounds are on the scale of 1 to 6 as shown at the left, and pitches are denoted by vibration frequency as indicated by the numbers at the bottom. A graded series of norms is being established showing the norm for the best 10 per cent, the best 25 per cent, and the best …

Symposium: Some Results Of Current Research In The Psychological Laboratory Of The State University Of Iowa, C. E. Seashore

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Investigations at the psychological laboratory are at the present time centering upon two general fields which are more or less closely related; namely, the Psychology of Music, and the Psychology of Basic Motor Capacities. The former is represented essentially by the first six titles, and the latter by the last six.

The Talent Survey In Our Music School, Esther Allen Gaw

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The forty-six students who are majoring in music have been given a series of psychological tests during the year 1919-1920. The tests for sense of pitch, sense of intensity, sense of time, sense of consonance, and tonal memory were given not only to those majoring in music, but also to the large groups in harmony and history of music, by means of the phonograph disks. The large groups were also given the army intelligence test and the auditory imagery group test.

Serial Action As A Basic Measure Of Motor Capacity, C. Frederick Hansen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Motor tests involving "continuous discriminative reactions" or "serial action" are being standardized by the psychologist with the end in view of reproducing, in dealing with his practical problems, the actual conditions of simple daily motor activities more closely than obtained in the traditional reaction time tests. These newer measures of motor capacity recognize the essentially fluid character of stimuli and reactions - their fundamentally continuous interplay, which is apparent not only in simple motor achievements like walking or handling tools, but also in the complex activities of the musician, the telegrapher, the typist, or the expert mechanician. In the analysis, …

A Standardized Measure Of Motility, Merrill J. Ream

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In any survey of the fundamental capacities of motor control the factor of speed of simple movement is obvious as one of the basic essentials which underlie all the developed complexities of movement. This fundamental capacity for speed in a simple repeated movement we call motility, and the motion selected is an easy movement of the forearm in which the finger taps a telegraph key. This type of movement is selected because it is one of the most rapid of the voluntary movements; it is clearly developed, is very simple, and requires no learning. It is assumed that the ability …

Superposed Stroboscopic Velocities, L. E. Dodd

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The curves plotted from the stroboscopic velocity equation, ¹ v.= (A— n/m.B)D₀, (1) and from the derived form, ² f=mN— nB, (2) show that from a given frequency of the stroboscopic figures there is an unlimited number of illumination frequencies that will give the stationary stroboscopic condition, and conversely, for a given value of the illumination frequency there is an unlimited number of frequencies of the stroboscopic figures that will make v₃ equal to zero.
