Ocular Patterns As Indices Of Intellectual Acheivement, Herman F. Brandt
Ocular Patterns As Indices Of Intellectual Acheivement, Herman F. Brandt
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
The purpose of this study is to evaluate, by means of ocular photography, the indices of the learning process. Since the mind is known by behavior of some kind, it would seem logical to assume a study of the characteristic behavior of the human eye would reveal some of the mental processes involved. If attention, retention, reason and reproduction are different phases of the learning process, it is likely that the analysis of ocular patterns would provide a valuable technique to evaluate such mental content. This study is an attempt to evaluate: 1. The relative time spent on respective symbols …

Implementing Recall, H. J. Haverkamp
Implementing Recall, H. J. Haverkamp
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
The use of tests as schoolroom aids to learning has long been advocated. The conditions under which these benefits accrue have not, however, been fully explored. This paper is a summary of one of several recent studies at the University of Iowa which have sought information on this problem. An attempt was made, in the investigation reported below, to compare the effectiveness of a reading and a rereading of factual material with that of a reading and a completion test response. Specifically, three learning conditions were compared: (1) the reading of a selection of factual material followed by the taking …
An Empirical Study Of Compensation, A. R. Lauer, Lualis Uthoff
An Empirical Study Of Compensation, A. R. Lauer, Lualis Uthoff
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
Textbooks, which have tended to include psychoanalytic concepts, have used the term compensation more or less vaguely. Most authors refer to compensation only suggestively, while others, two in particular, Morgan (1) and Groves (2), have delved extensively into the problem. These writers, however, present rather elaborate expositions on the concept of compensation, but give practically no experimental data on the problems related to it. A review of the literature (3) shows no significant experimental data existing on the problem. It seems that most sources of information are to be traced directly to the Freudian exponents and are mostly of a …
Recent Research On Predicting College Success, E. E. Emme, Mary Patterson
Recent Research On Predicting College Success, E. E. Emme, Mary Patterson
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
The prediction of college success has been studied from a number of different angles. The rank in high school graduating class is generally considered to have the highest single predictive value. Intelligence was considered important when combined with other factors. Tests of various kinds have been used extensively. The general situation is suggested by Adams (1). He says that the relative quality of achievement during the freshman year in college is best predicted from relative high school achievement, than from the college freshman aptitude test standing, and the I. Q. in the later elementary grades. Thus various factors have been …
Simultaneity And Originality In Human Thought - Paper Presented At The Fifty-Fifth Annual Meeting, Geo. Glockler
Simultaneity And Originality In Human Thought - Paper Presented At The Fifty-Fifth Annual Meeting, Geo. Glockler
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
All of us have observed in our scientific work that many discoveries have been made by different investigators at widely scattered places, but at the same time. Some of these instances are so striking that it becomes of interest to consider the matter and make an attempt to explain the condition in the hope that we may understand the phenomenon. The particular cases chosen for illustration are all from the fields of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Furthermore, they are scattered examples which have happened to come to our attention over a number of years. The same observation can undoubtedly be …
Spread Of Effect Or Reward And Punishment In A Multiple Choice Situation, Isadore Farber
Spread Of Effect Or Reward And Punishment In A Multiple Choice Situation, Isadore Farber
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
It is generally agreed among psychologists that an "empirical" law of effect operates in learning. It is well known that such consequences as the obtaining of food or shock determine to a large extent the final product of the selective and eliminative processes that obtain in the learning situation (2). Just how these consequences strengthen or weaken responses has been the subject of much research and even more verbal polemics. But all competent observers in the field will agree on the empirical fact: the consequences of connections between psychological events which satisfy the prevailing motivating condition strengthen directly the connections …

The Problem Of Night Driving In Relation To Accident Prevention (Abstract), A. R. Lauer
The Problem Of Night Driving In Relation To Accident Prevention (Abstract), A. R. Lauer
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
Records have shown that nearly 3,089 grade crossing accidents occurred in the United States in 1938. Of this number 1,450 occurred at night. Equating for volume of traffic and miles of travel, about 65 per cent of train-automobile accidents occur at night. Additional data indicate that the chances of a car driving into a train at night are about 9 times greater than in daylight. Of the estimated $3,000,000,000 annual economic loss to the country through automobile accidents it is shown that night driving costs about $1,200,000,000, although only 25 per cent of the driving is done during this period …

An Extension Of Kirkendall's Study Of Incentives In The Motivation Of Children, Lyle K. Henry, Mary J. Brand
An Extension Of Kirkendall's Study Of Incentives In The Motivation Of Children, Lyle K. Henry, Mary J. Brand
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
This study was concerned with the incentives which motivate children, with particular reference to sex: and age differences. The questionnaire used was one formulated and used by Lester A. Kirkendall in his study of the influence of certain incentives in the motivation of 284 pupils in grades 4, 5 and 6 in the New Britain, Connecticut schools.2 The purpose of our investigation was to extend the data to include pupils of the upper grade levels and to compare the results with those of Kirkendall. This problem was conducted with the assistance of students in a class in the psychology of …

Further Studies In The Technique Of Evaluating Biological Background (Abstract), Richard Schweet
Further Studies In The Technique Of Evaluating Biological Background (Abstract), Richard Schweet
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
A six-category test of biological background, consisting of terms, names of men, etc., was constructed. Three alternate forms, marked by the same key and of equal difficulty, according to an item analysis, were made. Correlation of odd and even items gave reliability coefficients of + .88 and + .90. Statistical analysis of 500 tests of college and high school students in the state showed significant differences, by analysis of variance, among the following groups: graduate students, juniors and seniors, freshmen and sophomores, and high school students. Norms are given for these groups. No significant differences were found among different comparable …

Retroactive Inhibition As A Function Of The Relative Serial Positions Of The Original And Interpolated Items, Arthur L. Irion
Retroactive Inhibition As A Function Of The Relative Serial Positions Of The Original And Interpolated Items, Arthur L. Irion
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
The importance of retroactive inhibition as one of the major theoretical conditions of forgetting makes experimentation on it particularly important at this time. Retroactive inhibition may be defined as the decrement in an originally learned act attributable to the learning of a second act between the time of the original learning and its recall. More rigidly than this, retroactive inhibition may be defined in terms of the experimental operations, the experimental design employed in the production of it.
The Prediction Of Vocational Success, Dewey B. Stuit
The Prediction Of Vocational Success, Dewey B. Stuit
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
One of the most important problems of youth is the choice oi an occupation in which success can be achieved. No single factor is likely to influence an individual's happiness more than his occupation. So far-reaching are the effects of occupational choice that hardly any phase of a person's life escapes its influence. Personal and family happiness are in large part dependent upon the degree to which an individual enjoys his work. If he is capable of doing the work required in his occupation and is interested in it, he is almost certain to be a well-adjusted individual and an …
A Preliminary Study Of The Visual Field In Athletics, Robert Hobson, M. T. Henderson
A Preliminary Study Of The Visual Field In Athletics, Robert Hobson, M. T. Henderson
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
If a basketball player sees an area half as large as another player, he has less chance of sizing up the entire situation on the floor at any moment. Likewise, if one player secs less at a given time than he did previously or will in the future, he is probably less effective at that given time. This study attempts first to discover whether or not there is a reason to suspect a measurable relationship between the size of the visual field and successful basketball playing. If there is, obviously a test of visual fields would be advantageous to a …
The Effects Of Punishment In Serial Verbal Learning, B. J. Underwood
The Effects Of Punishment In Serial Verbal Learning, B. J. Underwood
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
This investigation was concerned with two major problems: (a) the effect of punishment for error on the rate of serial verbal learning and on the amount of retroactive and proactive inhibition in the recall and relearning of the serial verbal habit, and (b) the determination of the direction and extent of muscular tension accompanying these learning and relearning conditions.

A Critical Evaluation Of Study Habit Inventories, Irene Mammen
A Critical Evaluation Of Study Habit Inventories, Irene Mammen
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
Out of a list of 60 items having to do with study habits and study conditions, as are used in certain tests, 44 related to high or low-grade-average categories. Fifty-five per cent of the items were found to differentiate boys only while 26.1 per cent differentiated girls only. Approximately 10 per cent were equivalent in placing the two sexes and about 10 per cent operated in an opposite way. There is some evidence that good study habits are more important in college than in high school for attaining good grades. The study also suggests the need for an evaluation of …
The Relation Of Background, Interest And Study Habit To Grades In College, A. R. Lauer
The Relation Of Background, Interest And Study Habit To Grades In College, A. R. Lauer
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
Measures were made of attitudes toward certain matters relating to college activities (Y), study habits (S) as measured by pencil and paper tests, background, (C) as measured by the Iowa State College Cultural Inventory, and the grade-point-average of 87 students (G). Correlations were computed to determine the relative importance of the factors studied. The reliability of the grades was sufficient to insure the significance of results. It is shown by multiple correlation technique that the most important item measured for prognosticating grades is interest (Y). The second important item was background (C), which is somewhat related to intelligence, and study …

Method and procedure (1) 55 college students were subjects, with sophomores in in predominance. (2) Percentile rank on intelligence of these students was secured. (3) A maze consisting of 99 bolt heads was used. Two separate circuits, a white light for the desirable path, and the red the undesirable. (4) Trial and error method. Each subject attempted to discover the desirable path with the least number of errors in five trials. 3. Findings (1) The medium number of errors was 81. (2) The …
A Study Of Compensation, Miriam G. Zugmeier, A. R. Lauer
A Study Of Compensation, Miriam G. Zugmeier, A. R. Lauer
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
Although pages have been written in psychological text books on compensation, a survey of the literature shows an extremely meagre amount of experimental data. The present study is an attempt to formulate some of the problems of compensation into experimental form. Forty subjects were given a series of laboratory tests in which accuracy and speed were compared under normal conditions and under conditions of distraction. Thirty-one of the same subjects were given a written test of the questionnaire type which was divided into three arbitrary categories; traffic compensation (T), social compensation (S), and industry or ambition (I). The following correlations …
Frequency And Seriousness Of Disciplinary Problems In Certain Iowa High Schools, Lyle K. Henry, William Dreier
Frequency And Seriousness Of Disciplinary Problems In Certain Iowa High Schools, Lyle K. Henry, William Dreier
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
This investigation grew out of a feeling of need on the part of students enrolled in courses in educational psychology. Many students had confidence in their ability to teach subject matter, but they were uncertain as to the behavior problems that might arise and how they could be met. The study sought to obtain from teachers in Iowa high schools information on the following questions. 1. What behavior problems occur most frequently? 2. Which behavior problems do teachers consider to be the most serious? 3. What remedial or corrective measures are employed to meet these problems?
Preliminary Evaluation Of A Test For Biological Background, Richard Schweet, A. R. Lauer
Preliminary Evaluation Of A Test For Biological Background, Richard Schweet, A. R. Lauer
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
A test, composed of 140 items, including names of men and terms associated with biology, was given to 65 undergraduate students with various majors and 25 graduate students in zoology. The undergraduates' records were analyzed to ascertain the effect of giving the test, with and without time limits, to comparable groups. On the basis of data obtained, a revision of the test was made using 100 select items. This revision was given to 18 graduate and 33 undergraduate students. Correlation of odd versus even items for the separate groups yielded reliability coefficients of + .90 after correction for length. A …
