Reading Ability And Visual And Auditory Incidental Learning In Learning Disabled Adolescents, Brenda G. Miller Aug 1978

Reading Ability And Visual And Auditory Incidental Learning In Learning Disabled Adolescents, Brenda G. Miller

Master's Theses

The present study attempted to examine the relationship between reading level and central and incidental learning in the visual and auditory modalities. The central-incidental tasks were modifications of Hagen's (1967) visual central-incidental tasks. Twenty male and female adolescents who had identified learning problems were subjects. An equal number of good and poor readers were assigned to the visual and auditory tasks. The results of the research indicated that reading level was not related to incidental learning nor to central auditory performance. However, the research findings showed significant differences between reading level and visual central task performance. The simplicity of the …


Adult Performance On Piaget's Water Level Task And Its Relation Of Spatial Orientation And Visualization, Pul Ashby Foltz Aug 1978

Adult Performance On Piaget's Water Level Task And Its Relation Of Spatial Orientation And Visualization, Pul Ashby Foltz

Master's Theses

Recent studies have indicated that performance on Piaget's water level task is related to spatial ability. The present study examined the relationship of adult performance on the water level task to spatial orienta­ tion ability, visualization ability and verbal ability. A sample of college stud ents, thirty males and thirty females, were classified as either sophisticated or naive in water level task performance. The students were then given two tests of spatial ability; in addition, a measure of verbal ability was obtained. Spatial orientation ability was measured by the Guilford-Zimmerman Spatial Orientation Test, visualization by the Re­vised Minnesota Paper Form …

Leisure Time Activities For The Nursing Home Resident, Jana Greenberg Jan 1978

Leisure Time Activities For The Nursing Home Resident, Jana Greenberg

Master's Theses

The following abstract is taken from the introductory paragraph of the thesis. Creative activities in nursing home care facilities for the elderly were started as an answer to the unmet needs of the residents of those facilties. Physical needs, such as food, shelter, and freedom from pain were, until that time, of main importance. Needs of love, identity, and self respect came only after the first were taken care of. Realizing this, nursing home administrators began to look for an answer to the ever-increasing boredom and apathy that seemed to be prevalent in their patients. It was at this time …


Responses To Hypovolaemic Thirst In Gerbils, Patrick Carl Hauenstein Jan 1978

Responses To Hypovolaemic Thirst In Gerbils, Patrick Carl Hauenstein

Master's Theses

In the present study, a series of experiments were conducted to examine how the gerbil responds to an extracellular challenge. Adult female gerbils, weighing from 50 gm. to 70 gm., were either exposed to a 10% (vol x wt) polyethelene glycol injection, or a vehicle control injection. Within each injection level, half of the animals had access· to water after injection, while the other half had access to a .9% saline solution. There was a significant increase in fluid intake associated with injection dosages and animals drank significantly more when exposed to saline than when exposed to water. It was …


The Effect Of Various Cognitive Strategies In The Control Of Public Speaking Anxiety, G. Rex Walker Jan 1978

The Effect Of Various Cognitive Strategies In The Control Of Public Speaking Anxiety, G. Rex Walker

Master's Theses

An experiment was designed to apply the cognitive strategy paradigm of Jaremko and Patteson to a classroom speech anxiety situation. Forty-eight introductory speech students volunteered to be tested on physiological, behavioral, and self-report measures of anxiety during two of their regular classroom speeches. Subjects were divided into groups based upon which cognitive strategy they were asked to implement: rationalization, reversal of affect, misattribution, misattribution and rationalization, a placebo control and a no treatment control.

Results indicated reductions in anxiety across trials, but these were not attributable to treatment. These findings are discussed in terms of the application of laboratory paradigms …


The "City On A Hill" : Tom Johnson And Cleveland 1901-1909, Keith Dean Dickson Jan 1978

The "City On A Hill" : Tom Johnson And Cleveland 1901-1909, Keith Dean Dickson

Master's Theses

Tom Loftin Johnson, mayor of Cleveland, Ohio from 1901 to 1909, was once hailed by a contemporary as "The outstanding municipal executive so far produced in United States history." Indeed, this judgment probably holds true even to the present day. Johnson's drive, combined with his uncompromising dedication to justice, dominated Cleveland politics and invigorated a city which had lost all sense of civic pride and responsibility. Johnson also brought a new vitality to American reform in the cities. His battles for three cent fares on the municipal street railway system, municipal ownership of public utilities, home rule, equal taxation and …

Saturation Patrol As A Deterrent To Crime, Erasmo J. Compatore Jan 1978

Saturation Patrol As A Deterrent To Crime, Erasmo J. Compatore

Master's Theses

In the United States, the rendering of police service is carried out by some of the world's finest forces which operate immediately adjacent to other agencies which have made no earnest move toward improving their methods in field operations since World War II. These deficient agencies seem to cling to tradition and oppose change even when innovations exist which have been shown to be more effective than present methods or when present methods are shown to be ineffective.

It is not surprising, therefore, that only in the last few years has the academician been considered of importance to law enforcement. …
