Stroboscopic Velocities In The Tonoscope, H. R. Fossler, L. E. Dodd

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The characteristic equation for stroboscopic velocity is v₈ = (A-n/m B) D₀ (see Proc. Iowa Acad. Sci., Vol. XXIV, 1917, p. 222), where v₈ is the stroboscopic velocity, A the frequency of the stroboscopic figures, B the frequency of illumination, n/m a fraction at lowest terms, and D₀ the distance of separation of the stroboscopic figures.

The President's Address - Does The History Of Science Have A Place In The College Curriculum?, L. S. Ross

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In order to understand a government at any stage of its existence it is necessary to understand how it came to be, what were its antecedents and under what conditions it was developed. In short its inheritance and its environment must he known. No complete understanding of present day civilization is possible without a knowledge of the civilization of the "Men of the Old Stone Age" and of the various phases of man's attempts, failures and successes, between these two stages. In other words the master anatomist and physiologist must be an embryologist. To comprehend and understand the completed structure …

The Measurement Of Basic Capacities In Motor Control, Carl E. Seashore

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The same principle that led the merchant to adopt the plan of making an inventory of his stock occasionally has led to the introduction of psychological methods in the rating of capacities for various kinds of service. Among these, perhaps the intelligence tests are the best known and most used at the present time, particularly as now employed for the entire United States Army.

A Modern School, Abraham Flexner

History of Education Book Gallery

A Modern School is a 23-page occasional paper, written by Abraham Flexner and published in 1916 by The General Education Board. Flexner (1866-1959) was an American educator and education reformer. The occasional paper presented here addresses many of the perceived failings of the public school system circa 1916 and suggests several reforms. The General Education Board was established by John D. Rockefeller in 1903. According to the Rockefeller Foundation, the board was established to aid education in the U.S. without distinction of race, sex or creed, and was active in promoting the public school movement in the early part of …

A New Tonoscope, L. E. Dodd

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

While undergoing a series of voice pitch tests some three years ago in the Psychological Laboratory of the State University of Iowa, the author learned that in his own individual case, as in some others, there existed, according to the statement of the investigator, Mr. C. J. Knock, a consistent as well as persistent tendency to miss in a definite direction certain intervals of the musical scale. The instrument used in these tests was the Seashore tonoscope, an indicator of absolute pitch developed in some of its later stages at this University.

The Stroboscopic Effect By Direct Reflection Of Light From Vibrating Mirrors., L. E. Dodd

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A very simple and convenient method of producing the stroboscopic effect is to reflect light directly from a vibrating mirror upon a stroboscopic screen. The mirror may be such as is afforded by a vibrating membrane which is itself reflecting or has a suitable mirror attached either directly or indirectly to it.

Psychology Applied To The Measurement Of Merit Of Advertisements, Harry H. Gould

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The problem to be presented in this paper is that of measuring the relative merits of a series of advertisements. The advertisements are arranged in their order of merit with the best at one extreme, the poorest at the other, and the intervening ones in their ranking order as determined by the method of procedure used in the experiment.

Psychology Applied To The Improvement Of Control Of The Pitch Of The Voice In Singing, Carl J. Knock

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The object of this research is to ascertain some of the elements in the acquisition of accuracy of pitch in singing. The study was divided into three divisions; (1) a preliminary series of five tests, in which no information was given the observer in regard to the accuracy of his singing; (2) a practice series of ten tests, during which the observer was informed of the error in pitch after each trial; and (3) a final series of five tests conducted in the same manner as the first. The object of the first test was to ascertain the accuracy of …

The Psychogram In Vocational Guidance, Carl E. Seashore

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The speaker reported a method, "percental rank”, for reducing diverse psychophysic measurements to a common unit for the purpose of a simple and direct numerical statement and graphic representation of a series of measurements on talent. The illustrations were drawn from the measurements on musical talent. After a certain measurement has been standardized so that the various factors, subjective and objective, are under control, a large number, from 400 to 4,000, depending upon the needs, are made for the purpose of establishing a normal distribution of abilities.
