The Relationship Between Brain Rhythms And Certain Muscular Rhythms, Charles N. Cofer Jan 1937

The Relationship Between Brain Rhythms And Certain Muscular Rhythms, Charles N. Cofer

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In this study an attempt was made to find out whether there is a relationship between the electrical potentials from the left motor area of the brain and the tremor of the third finger of the right hand. Some records also were taken from the visual area and from the index finger. The brain wave and the tremor were recorded simultaneously on sensitized paper.

The Reliability Of Certain Scales For Measuring Attitudes, A. R. Lauer, Robert Taylor Jan 1937

The Reliability Of Certain Scales For Measuring Attitudes, A. R. Lauer, Robert Taylor

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A list of 100 words were checked for five degrees of preference by 118 adult male subjects of post-college age. The attitude categories were arbitrarily called; liberal, socialistic, sports, risk and annoyance, law enforcement, racial and religious, and cultural. The reliability coefficients ranged from +.77 down to +.29. The highest reliabilities were found for the attitudes of law enforcement, liberalism, and risk and annoyance. The lowest reliabilities were for the attitudes toward race and religion, socialism and the sports.

Effect Of Auditory And Visual Stimuli On Brain Potential Rhythms, Betty M. Martinson Jan 1937

Effect Of Auditory And Visual Stimuli On Brain Potential Rhythms, Betty M. Martinson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This study attempts to compare the blocking of the Berger rhythm caused by visual and auditory sensations. Four stimuli were used - a bright light of one hundred (100) watts, a dim light of twenty-five (25) watts, a thousand cycle tone at approximately seventy (70) decibels, and a similar tone at approximately forty (40) decibels. A series of two hundred stimuli composed of fifty of each of these arranged in random order was presented to the subject. The records were read for latency and perseveration of the blocking and the four types of stimulus were compared.


The Effect Of Training In Phonics Upon Reading Ability At The College Level, Maurine Rogers Jan 1937

The Effect Of Training In Phonics Upon Reading Ability At The College Level, Maurine Rogers

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The purpose of this experiment was to ascertain the effect of phonic ability upon reading ability at the college level. The subjects were 72 poor readers from the lowest 20 per cent of reading scores of University of Iowa freshmen. Half of these readers formed an experimental group and a like half a control group. Vocabulary tests and pronunciation tests composed of the same words were given. These were accompanied by paragraph comprehension and oral reading tests. The experimental group then took a period of individual phonic training at the end of which both experimental and control groups were retested. …

Brain Potentials During Silent And Oral Reading, John R. Knott Jan 1937

Brain Potentials During Silent And Oral Reading, John R. Knott

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Brain potentials have been recorded during silence, during silent reading, and oral reading. While it has been assumed that potentials cannot be picked up during strong, complex stimulation, the results indicate that they can be. Analysis of the data indicates a hypothesis to the effect that complexity of cortical functioning is associated with complexity of the electrical activity of the cortex.

Trends Of Research In The Psychology Of Art, Mildred Dow Voss

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A broad survey of the field of psychology of art indicates that certain of the major trends are: (1) an increasing tendency to think of problems from the Gestalt point of view; (2) clarification of the distinction between appreciation and production of art.


The Mental Development Of Children Of The Same I.Q. In Differing Institutional Environments, Orlo D. Crissey Jan 1937

The Mental Development Of Children Of The Same I.Q. In Differing Institutional Environments, Orlo D. Crissey

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mental development of children of the same mental level in relation to residence in institutional environments of differing mental level. The subjects consist of children resident in four Iowa childrens' institutions. They were selected from a large number of children who had been given individual tests, and who were resident in these institutions between an initial test and one or more retests. The Stanford and Kuhlmann Revisions of the Binet Scale were used for all individual tests, and were administered by well-trained examiners as a part of the cooperative program between …


Do University And College Students Have Dislike Or Affection For Their Parents? An Attitude Scale For Personnel Procedures, Earle E. Emme Jan 1937

Do University And College Students Have Dislike Or Affection For Their Parents? An Attitude Scale For Personnel Procedures, Earle E. Emme

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

An understanding of the adjustment problems of university and college students reveals that many factors 2 are involved in student adjustment. To be sure, academic courses still constitute the main show for many students. Other students are very much interested in the so-called side shows, such as athletics, social relationships, economic and religious situations, the library, boarding and rooming conditions, as well as personal contacts with teachers in and out of classes, counselors and administrative officers. Consequently many students find themselves in a totality of campus on-rush, the roots and outreaches of which are not always known or understood.

An Item Analysis Of The Adjustment Questionnaire, Emma Mccloy Layman Jan 1937

An Item Analysis Of The Adjustment Questionnaire, Emma Mccloy Layman

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Following a preliminary analysis of 782 personality test items, a questionnaire of 97 items of the yes-no type was administered to a group of 276 freshman men. A statistical analysis of the results was made, and the list was reduced to 67 items. Tetrachoric correlation coefficients were computed between these 67 items and these were submitted to a factor analysis, using Thurstone's technique. It was found that at least 12 factors are necessary to account for the intercorrelations between the items. Of the 67 items, 38 were found to be sufficiently pure that they had factor loadings greater than.50 for …


Quantitative Measurement Of Some Psychological And Phonetic Factors Affecting The Incidence Of Stuttering, Spencer F. Brown Jan 1937

Quantitative Measurement Of Some Psychological And Phonetic Factors Affecting The Incidence Of Stuttering, Spencer F. Brown

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A study reported in the Quarterly Journal of Speech (November, 1935) showed the existence of a phonetic factor of difficulty affecting the occurrence of stuttering spasms. Further analysis of the data on which the previous work was based has revealed a grammatical factor of difficulty. This is more consistent, but does not seem to be as important as the phonetic factor.


The Effect Of Training Upon The Handedness Preference Of The Rat In An Eating Activity, Robert L. Milisen Jan 1937

The Effect Of Training Upon The Handedness Preference Of The Rat In An Eating Activity, Robert L. Milisen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The problem of sidedness has become important in the last few years due to the relationship which may exist between it and certain disabilities such as stuttering, reading and spelling. Although much work has been done with sidedness of human subjects, many factors could not be studied or controlled; therefore, rats were used in this study.


The Comparison Between Electrodermal Response And Hedonic Tone, Clifford E. Jurgensen Jan 1937

The Comparison Between Electrodermal Response And Hedonic Tone, Clifford E. Jurgensen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The impressive method of single exposure has long been used to study feeling tone. The expressive method of electrodermal response is similarly used. If both of these methods are valid for the above purpose when used alone, there should be agreement between the two when used together. Essentially the purpose of this study is to determine the degree of relationship between these two methods of study.


Inoculation Against Spring Fever In The Elementary Course In Zoology, Fae M. Shawhan Jan 1937

Inoculation Against Spring Fever In The Elementary Course In Zoology, Fae M. Shawhan

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Webster's dictionary defines inoculation as "the act or process of improving." Also, I find that "inoculation may be protective, when the substance injected aims to secure immunity; or curative, when an anti-toxin is injected as a remedy."

Central Determinants Of Peripheral Manifestations In Reading, Grant Fairbanks, Joseph Tiffin Jan 1936

Central Determinants Of Peripheral Manifestations In Reading, Grant Fairbanks, Joseph Tiffin

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Numerous investigations have shown that poor reading is accompanied by irregularities in the eye-movements of the reader. The most marked of these is regressive movement, that is, backward movement of the eyes to places previously looked at. Clinicians in remedial reading have been much struck by the presence of these irregularities, and have sometimes attempted to improve reading by treating the eye-movements as such. The question investigated by this research is: Do irregular eye-movements cause poor reading, or does poor reading cause irregular eye-movements? If poor reading is shown to be the cause of poor eye-movements, then it is obviously …

Factors Influencing The Frequency Of Stuttering Reactions, Robert Larsen Jan 1936

Factors Influencing The Frequency Of Stuttering Reactions, Robert Larsen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The purpose of this investigation is to ascertain, in terms of frequency of stuttering reactions, the influence of stuttering experienced in certain troublesome situations upon the stutterer's speech in non-troublesome situations, when certain cues representative of the former are also present in the latter. It is further the purpose of this study to show the influence of certain cues representative of troublesome words upon the stutterer's production of non-troublesome words, when the cues are associated with both kinds of words.

Pitch Perception Of Frequency Glides, Don Lewis, Grant Fairbanks Jan 1936

Pitch Perception Of Frequency Glides, Don Lewis, Grant Fairbanks

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A rising or falling frequency glide at the end of a sustained tone is perceived as being of greater extent and longer duration than the identical physical phenomenon occurring at the beginning of the tone. This is true for both complex and pure tones, with intensity constant or varying.
