Peer reviewedHumphreys, Lloyd G. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1978
Kirby and Das (EJ 182 444) dichotomized measures of individual differences and treated them as independent variables in an analysis of variance. Correlational analysis would have provided more powerful tests of their hypotheses. Interpretation of the dichotomized variables as independent, causal antecedents of their measures of intelligence would…

Peer reviewedUnderwood, Benton J.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 1978
This study examines interrelationships among several episodic memory tasks, particularly correlations among various attributes of memory: imagery, associative, acoustic, temporal, affective, and frequency. Undergraduates completed 28 episodic memory tests using tasks such as free recall, paired associates, classical recognition, and memory span.…

Peer reviewedHumphreys, Lloyd G. – Intelligence, 1978
In studies of the relationship between masculinity-femininity and intelligence, data should be analyzed using correlational analysis for the complete distribution, rather than analysis of variance of extreme groups. The earlier work of Baucom and Welsh (EJ 171 822) was used as illustration. (BW)

Peer reviewedBaucom, Donald H.; Welsh, George S. – Intelligence, 1978
Humphreys' criticisms (TM 503 269) of the work of Welsh and Baucom (EJ 171 822) are inappropriate since his findings are based upon a different measure of masculinity-femininity and a population which is somewhat different. Also, his insistence on correlational analysis to the exclusion of extreme group design is viewed as inappropriately…

Peer reviewedErnest, Carole H. – Intelligence, 1991
Two experiments with 172 undergraduate students (70 males and 102 females) examined the relationship among spatial, imagery, and verbal ability and the multitrial free recall of brief prose passages. Results suggest that the psychological mechanisms underlying prose learning performance clearly differ depending on the ability being examined. (SLD)

Peer reviewedHeinrich, Darlene L. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1979
The relationship between anxiety and learning was examined within the context of drive theory and trait-state anxiety theory. Results indicated that trait anxiety had a causal influence on state anxiety and on test performance. The possibility of a reciprocal relationship between state anxiety and performance was suggested.

Abrami, Philip C.; And Others – 1977
Studies of teacher rating form (TRF) generalizability have focused primarily on two classes of variables: student characteristics and teacher characteristics. Since the goal of most TRF researchers is to show that TRF scores correlate with teacher-produced student achievement, a suitable generalizability study would investigate the relationship…
