Closed-Loop Theory And The Partial Recall Hypothesis : Explanations Of The Sources Of Information About Knowledge In Memory, Thomas Beverly Watkins

Master's Theses

Examples of information about knowledge in memory are described, and two conceptualizations of the source of such information--the partial recall hypothesis and the closed-loop theory--are reviewed. Wearing (1970) conducted a study to support the closed-loop theory using 60 CVC pairs in a paired-associate task with recall measure and confidence ratings. An attempt is made to replicate and extend some of his findings. Some are replicated, except for one finding with which he supported closed-loop theory. With support for closed-loop theory thus reduced, the partial recall hypothesis seems more plausible.

A Revival Of The Gothic Tale In French Twentieth Century Literature : Claude Seignolle, Eric Deudon

Master's Theses

It is perhaps the very diversity of his gifts and interests that has prevented Claude Seignolle so far from reaching the wide public that his work deserves. The scholars know him and rightly value his unique contributions to folklore; the novelist know well that his novels are a distinct contribution to literature, written as they are with the pure and forceful eye of the poet. Finally, those who are interested in the devil keep their eyes open for every new tale by this strange diabolist ... These little tales of mystery and horror have a quality which is entirely their …

A Certain Solid Ground : The Mary-Martha Motif In The Fiction Of Katherine Anne Porter, Rosemary Mulvaney Dietrick

Master's Theses

She had spent years of strategic warfare trying to beat those people out of her life; then more years trying to ignore them; to forget them; to hate them; and in the end she loved them as she knew well she was meant in simple nature to do, and acknowledged it; it brought her no peace, and yet it put a certain solid ground under her feet.

The preceding passage from Katherine Anne Porter 's Ship of Fools reveals the rebellious thoughts of a young American artist named Jenny, an almost autobiographical heroine, who inveighs against the pragmatic women in …

Images Of Despair And Hope In Three Plays By Jean-Paul Sartre, Philip Lewis Preston

Master's Theses

Jean-Paul Sartre has altered his outlook on life and his intellectual involvement in society several times during the last forty-five years, and further changes are certainly possible. Nevertheless, through his pro-communist stance during the years of French Occupation, his denouncement of the Communists after the 1956 Hungarian revolt, and his more recent position of anti-intellectualism, Sartre has endeavored to define how a man can achieve freedom and hope.

Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., And The Mexico City Conference Of 1945, William A. Kowba

Master's Theses

To understand the origins of the Chapultepec Conference, one must study the causes of Latin American resentment toward the United States in late 1944. One highly debated theme within inter-American affairs arose from United States involvement in planning a world organization. The "Big Four" (the United States, Soviet Union, China, and Great Britain) met outside Washington, D. C., at Dumbarton Oaks beginning August 21, 1944 to formulate guidelines for an international peace-keeping body. The secrecy in which the conferees deliberated perturbed Latin Americans, concerned as they were over the preservation of the inter-American regional system. When the discontent became too …

Perception Of Values Relating To Character Development: A Study Of College Students' Views On A Seventh-Day Adventist Campus, Gertrude Elizabeth Jordan

Master's Theses

Problem

The most important concern of Seventh-day Adventists is the proper and fullest development of character. This study investigates perception patterns on character values and factors influencing positive character development held by subjects on a church supported university campus (Andrews University).

Method

The self-administered questionnaire, developed by Kreps (1970) to examine the attitudes held by college students concerning values that are important in promoting positive character development in individuals, was modified in part to conform to background characteristics of Andrews University students. The socio-economic class of each subject was determined by the McGuire-White Social Class Index (1955). A percentage and …
