Are The Response Latencies Of The Achilles And Patellar Reflex Responses As Recorded By The Action Current And Muscles Thickening Techniques Comparable?, Clarence L. Nystrom Jan 1933

Are The Response Latencies Of The Achilles And Patellar Reflex Responses As Recorded By The Action Current And Muscles Thickening Techniques Comparable?, Clarence L. Nystrom

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Two techniques for the measurement of the latent times of the Achilles and the patellar tendon reflexes have become more or less standardized in recent years. These are: (1) the recording of the currents of action from the executant muscle; and (2) the recording of the thickening of the muscle itself.


The Role Of The Concept In Reading Ability, Paul Murphy Jan 1933

The Role Of The Concept In Reading Ability, Paul Murphy

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

One of the most fruitful fields of research in the psychology of reading has been that concerned with the analysis of specific psychological functions involved in reading. A cursory perusal of the literature, however, reveals the fact that the great majority of such investigations have dealt with the mechanical phases of the process, such as eye-movements, rate of reading, typographical factors, and related functions, leaving more or less untouched such processes as reasoning, conception, understanding, and the like. It was the hope of shedding some light on some of these untouched areas that the present investigation was undertaken.


The Effect Of Size Of Peg And Form Boards Upon The Performance Scores Of Young Children, Thomas F. Vance Jan 1933

The Effect Of Size Of Peg And Form Boards Upon The Performance Scores Of Young Children, Thomas F. Vance

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Sylvester, in 1913, characterized the form board test as one that "appeals to the child's interest, affording him a short and fascinating task which calls for his best effort and helps to free him from the fear and self-consciousness which often interfere seriously in a mental examination." The inclusion of the form board test in certain well-known scales and its serving as the basis of a number of extensive studies bear testimony to the truth of Sylvester's evaluation. Further study of the form-board may thus be justified on the basis that a still greater refinement in technique may be attainable.

The Psychology Of A Psychologist, Christian A. Ruckmick Jan 1933

The Psychology Of A Psychologist, Christian A. Ruckmick

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In the last analysis, psychology is to be defined in terms of the professional activities of a psychologist. As in the case of other sciences, psychology may also be delimited in terms of the things it deals with. All sciences, however, have become so broad in their scope that they overlap, and the classification as regards their particular fields and their devotees can only be approximately circumscribed. To leave experience or its historical equivalent, mental process and function, out of the picture would be to resign from the commission originally given to psychology. For this reason the writer cannot agree …


Radio Broadcasting Vs. Lecturing In Psychology: Preliminary Investigation, Harold V. Gaskill Jan 1933

Radio Broadcasting Vs. Lecturing In Psychology: Preliminary Investigation, Harold V. Gaskill

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Two twenty-four minute talks on Psychology and Athletics were broadcast, and, given directly to groups of college students - all students in the experimenter's classes in psychology. Objective examinations on the talks were constructed, and subsequently given to the listeners.


An Achievement Test Of Dynamic Control In Music, O. Irving Jacobsen Jan 1933

An Achievement Test Of Dynamic Control In Music, O. Irving Jacobsen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The use of the power level indicator with readings in decibels was standardized. Musically trained observers were tested on their respective instruments, untrained observers by voice. Their achievement test was compared with their motor capacity and sensory capacity tests. Conclusions were drawn in regard to the effect of pitch level, intensity level, instruments, and training.


Substitution Of Time For Stress In Performance Of Measure Accent In Piano Music, Mack T. Henderson Jan 1933

Substitution Of Time For Stress In Performance Of Measure Accent In Piano Music, Mack T. Henderson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Very definite time organizations occur within the measure of a given musical selection (3/4 time) apparently for the purpose of measure accent. Successive changes in stress do not account for measure accent nor do they operate with time changes to enhance the accent. Measurements are based upon recordings on the Iowa Piano Camera of the chorale section of Chopin's Nocturne, No. 6 (Opus 15, No. 3).


Pernicious Anemia: A Study In Psychodietetics, M. F. Fritz Jan 1933

Pernicious Anemia: A Study In Psychodietetics, M. F. Fritz

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Psychodietetics deals with the relationship between diet and mental behavior. A number of diseases now definitely attributed to dietary defects or deficiencies cause mental symptoms. An outstanding example of this is pernicious anemia. Mental symptoms were mentioned by Addison who first described the malady in 1855. However, its psychological aspects have frequently been overlooked, even by physicians. There are important legal implications, e.g. wills. Description of blood findings and mental disorders. Importance of the fact that the mental symptoms may precede the typical blood picture. Description of nervous involvement. Treatment by dietary methods, liver, hog's stomach, etc. Prognosis, particularly with …


A Measure Of The Amount Of Cheating By College Students, E. O. Finkenbinder Jan 1933

A Measure Of The Amount Of Cheating By College Students, E. O. Finkenbinder

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Can college students be expected to score their own or others papers without overlooking some of the errors or without changing some of the answers so as to cover up errors that have been made? Papers containing +, -True, False, Yes, No as answers were photographed without the students' knowledge then returned to the class the day after the test. A chart containing the correct answers was presented for them to use as a key for scoring their papers, - in some classes their own papers, yet in other classes, papers written by other students in the class. The percentage …

Venereal Diseases, H. Earl Rath Mar 1932

Venereal Diseases, H. Earl Rath

Science Bulletin

Much has been said about what ought to be done about venereal diseases. Nearly everyone agrees that more education on the subject is needed, but that is about as far as it goes in at least ninety-nine cases out of a hundred. The result is that much erroneous information is surreptitiously passed about. Some young people have an abnormal fear of venereal disease and live in dread of acquiring it from all kinds of objects. Others, and this group is entirely too large, treat the subject entirely too lightly, and fail to respect the dangers involved.

The Role Of Eye Movement Habits In Determining Reading Efficiency, Francis P. Robinson Jan 1932

The Role Of Eye Movement Habits In Determining Reading Efficiency, Francis P. Robinson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Since there is a correlation of about.60 between reading comprehension and eye movements, it is of importance psychologically to understand the nature of this relationship. Three possible causal relationships may exist. First, comprehension may determine the action of the eyes in reading; second, certain functions of eye movement may determine reading efficiency; or third, some undescribed factor may affect each of these and account for the relationship.
