One-Trial Versus Incremental Learning : A Re-Evaluation Employing Signal Detection Theory, James William Hyams

Master's Theses

The purpose of the present study was to lend support to either the one-trial or incremental theory of learning by examining the probability of correct responses as a function of prior stimulus exposure. Signal detection theory was employed as the method of analysis. Two experiments tested the theories in a verbal learning task and a psychomotor task. On each of three trials a list of 6 AB pairs or 6 AB distances was presented once, then one of these 6 pairs or distances was tested for recognition. On the recognition test either AB (a previously viewed pair or distance) or …

A Correlation Of The Idealized Heat Of Vaporization To Molecular Weight, Harold Earl Bennett

Master's Theses

Using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation as a base, many investigators have tried to develop variations to better describe both ideal and non-ideal systems. The literature is abundant with correlations of vapor pressure to temperature and associated correlations of latent heats of vaporization to molecular characteristics; often molecular weight or carbon number.

Chelation Of Two Polyhydroxyamines With Copper (Ii) Ion, David H. Powell

Master's Theses

Two polyamines, 2,8-bishydroxymethyl-2,8-dimethyl- 3, 7-diaza-1,5,9-nonanetriol and 2,8-bishydroxymethyl-2,8- dimethyl-3,7-diaza-l,9-nonanediol, were prepared and the coordination of these compounds with Cu (II) ions in solution was investigated. Spectrophotometric study of the solutions of these compounds gives evidence of the formation of two complexes, containing one mole of ligand per metal ion and two moles of ligand per metal ion, respectively. The two stability constants for these complexes and the basicity constants for these ligands were calculated from potentiometric titrations at 30°C. A compadson of the stabj lity constants and basici ty cons tan ts for the two compounds was made to determine the …

Teacher Use Of Stimulus Discrimination And Response Cost As Techniques For Reducing Socially Maladaptive Student Behaviors In A Secondary Classroom, Thomas J. Doland

Master's Theses

The present study was designed to evaluate the use of two behavior modification techniques in modifying three inappropriate student behaviors in a secondary classroom. T'he two behavior modification techniques employed were 1) response cost, and 2) the teacher 's use of students' names as discriminative stimuli. The subjects were a D-section Junior English class consisting of fourteen boys and five girls of average intelligence, but who were under­ achieving academically. The contingencies were applied to all students, utilizing a multiple baseline design. In experimental condition I, the teacher informed the class that ten minutes of free time would be available …

Myths And Legends In The Stories Of Eudora Welty, Robert Keith Brower

Master's Theses

Wright Morris suggests that in The Territory Ahead that the American writer's imagination has been crippled by the nostalgia that drives it to a preoccupation with the mythic past. Like any other generalization, there are several glaring exceptions to this statement, and one of the most obvious of these exceptions ca be found in the case of Eudora Welty. Miss Welty has continually exhibited a great knowledge of mythology and American folklore, and has utilized this knowledge extensively in her stories. However, it is safe to say that rather than being crippled, Miss Welty's imagination has been greatly enhanced and …

Recognition And Recall As Measures Of Retention On A Paired Associate Task, David F. Prim

Master's Theses

Widely disparate findings concerning recognition and recall as indicants of retention have been reported by several independent researchers. To clarify the problem a list of 8 items, composed of letter-number pairs, was presented 5 times by the study-test method to 160 college undergraduates. The list was learned by either recognition or recall and then tested by either a recognition or recall test after 24 hour and 72 hour intervals. Ss were placed in 1 of 5 categories dependent upon the trial the S achieved 100% criterion. A 4 factor ANOV showed recognition scores to be significantly higher at the .05 …

A Validation Of The Psychologist's Narrative Report In Predicting "Successful" Bank Managers, Peter Stephen Horos

Master's Theses

Although company selection procedures for managerial personnel vary widely, they frequently contract a psychological consulting firm to assess the applicant's potential. It was generally assumed then, that this professional information would significantly enhance the selection procedures and consequently improve the quality of the organization's managerial population. However, this assumption was made contingent upon the validity of the psychologist's predictions, with which there has been little research to date.

The Relationship Between Athletic Success And Scholastic Achievement, Norman Bruce Province

This study covered a twenty year period running from 1953 to 1972 at the Berrien Springs Senior High School. The purpose was to see if the interscholastic athletic success in varsity and junior varsity football and basketball during this period …

A Comparison Of Values In Black And White Children In The Upper, Middle And Lower Social Classes, Emmanuel Ola Atolagbe

Master's Theses

Purpose of the Study

The purpose of the study was to (1) discover if the value system of blacks is different from the value system of whites, and (2) to determine if social class is a significant influencing factor in the shaping of values.

Methods and Procedures

Many studies have been conducted in which the values of blacks and whites of both sexes in the lower, middle and upper classes were examined. Schuster (1968) conducted a study in which the values of blacks and whites of both sexes in the upper social class were examined. Lott and Lott (1963) examined …

The Reaction To Enclosure In Tudor Policy And Thought, Kenneth Michael Kines

Master's Theses

The original idea for this thesis in British Agrarian History evolved when it was discovered how much attention has been given to interpreting primary source material, and how little attention has been given to the primary sources themselves The student in Britain must find the task of research somewhat simple, for within the bounds of London can be found most of the necessary records, letters and statutes. The student confined to the United States must rely heavily upon printed sources. This paper is intended to serve as a guide to and study of major enclosure writings, speeches and policies that …
