A Study Of A Class Of Twenty Failing Students At Iowa State College, J. E. Evans

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

During the winter quarter of 1930 fifty men engineering students from the freshman class of 1929 were registered in a class in which methods of study were discussed. This class met twice a week during the term. At the close of the fall term these students had attracted the attention of the scholarship committee because of poor work. All students in the group had failed or conditioned part of their work. If the scholarship committee had followed its regular procedure these students would have been eliminated from the college because of poor academic work.

The Food Selections Of Nursery School Children, Thomas F. Vance

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The observations herewith reported were made during the Fall and Winter quarters of the school year 1929 and 1930 at the Nursey School of the Iowa State College. Twenty-seven children served as subjects during the first quarter and twenty-four for the second. Twenty-one were on the roll for both quarters.

Judging Children's Literature, Ivy C. Husband

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This study is the outgrowth of the work being done by the Institute of Character Research at the State University under Professor Edwin D. Starbuck. The Institute is publishing a series of guides to literature: lists of books which have a definite character value in and of themselves. These books are ranked, graded, and assigned "situations" indicating the type of situation and attitude toward it which will probably impress the reader.

The Psychology Of Division, H. A. Jeep

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Recent attempts to clarify the subject of long division point to the fact that it is difficult. All data considered, we may say that it is the hardest block in the elementary school curriculum. Long division is especially difficult for the fourth-grader. It is apparent that the multiplicity of skills accounts for much of the learning difficulty. Because there are no infallible rules to follow, long division approaches the problem solving situation. In a sense, every example in long division tends to become a distinct problem in itself.

An Experiment In Mental Rehabilitation, Walter S. Newell

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The report presents the case of Mr. H., a student in Coe College who volunteered for service in the World War and suffered a serious injury by fall of an air-plane. Mr. H. recovered consciousness but had no memory and attempts to restore his lost holdings by showing him pictures of home scenes and by bringing him back to his college environment were only partially successful. The report gives something of Mr. H.'s background High school and College record prior to his injury.

Speech Sounds Of Preschool Children, Beth L. Wellman

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Beginning in 1924 and extending over a period of four years the Iowa Child Welfare Research Station, in cooperation with the Department of Speech of the University of Iowa, has been studying the development of preschool children in the ability to produce correctly the consonant elements, consonant blends, vowels and diphthongs of the English language. The project has involved the cooperation of a number of individuals from both departments.

A Synthetic Tone-Mixer, Joseph Tiffin

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A device designed to demonstrate the phenomenon of "tone-mixing" will be exhibited and described. By means of this apparatus a vibrato may be synthetically produced with the number of pulses per second, extent of frequency fluctuation, and intensity relationship under control. The manner in which each of these variables influences the perceived tone can thus be determined. It is also possible to reproduce a vibrato whose rate, extent, and intensity relationship are identical with those of artistic singing. One factor at a time can then be varied and the relative importance of the several elements in the artistic tone determined. …

A Comparison In Academic Achievement Of The Student In The Upper Quartile With Those In The Lower Quartile As Measured By Aptitude Tests, J. E. Evans

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Of the 464 freshmen included in this study fifty-five were in the lower quartile and 109 in the upper. The tests used for the study were the I. S. C. Aptitude Test and the Engineering Information Test. The fifty-five students in the lower quartile made 196 failures during the first three terms, while the 109 students made 169 failures in the same time.

The Evaluation Of The Musical Capacity Of Nursery School Children, Thomas F. Vance, Medora Grandprey

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The elements in the situation which focused attention upon the possibility of evaluating the musical capacity of nursery school children by a method which might have some approach to reliability were three-fold: an enrollment of thirty-one children, a number of which were almost invariably eager for and interested in the musical phase of the nursery school program; a teacher whose musical ability was considerably above the average, with a professional interest in a problem of this kind; and a psychologist on the staff also interested in the problem.

A Study Of Antagonistic Habits, Martin F. Fritz

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A single rat given 6000 trials (50 trials per day) for a period of four months on a dual choke apparatus, showed no ability to reduce the time in turning from one learned stimulus (a light) to the opposite stimulus (no light). No evidence of insight was found but merely rote or mechanical learning. A human being would probably solve such a problem quickly by means of verbal cues. A possible interpretation that the old habit is not "torn down" but only inhibited or suppressed. Same results found with three other rats given 2000 trials each.

The Project Method In Laboratory Psychology, R. H. Sylvester

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Of course every experiment is a project, literally, but usually there are two outstanding weaknesses. One is the failure to connect the study closely with other courses and to bring general lecture and text-book material to bear upon the experiments. The other is the tendency to follow directions literally with eyes and hands, with but little real cerebration.
