Hirsh, Jacob B.; Mar, Raymond A.; Peterson, Jordan B. – Psychological Review, 2012
Entropy, a concept derived from thermodynamics and information theory, describes the amount of uncertainty and disorder within a system. Self-organizing systems engage in a continual dialogue with the environment and must adapt themselves to changing circumstances to keep internal entropy at a manageable level. We propose the entropy model of…

Jang, Yoonhee; Wallsten, Thomas S.; Huber, David E. – Psychological Review, 2012
We present a signal detection-like model termed the stochastic detection and retrieval model (SDRM) for use in studying metacognition. Focusing on paradigms that relate retrieval (e.g., recall or recognition) and confidence judgments, the SDRM measures (1) variance in the retrieval process, (2) variance in the confidence process, (3) the extent to…

Dougherty, Michael R.; Thomas, Rick P. – Psychological Review, 2012
The authors propose a general modeling framework called the general monotone model (GeMM), which allows one to model psychological phenomena that manifest as nonlinear relations in behavior data without the need for making (overly) precise assumptions about functional form. Using both simulated and real data, the authors illustrate that GeMM…

Walker, Brooke D.; Rehfeldt, Ruth Anne – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2012
The purpose of the current study was to examine the degree to which instruction based on stimulus equivalence procedures could be used to teach single-subject design methodology to graduate-level professionals through a Web-based course management system known as Blackboard (see http://www.blackboard.com). Specifically, we used the stimulus…

Thomaschke, Roland; Hopkins, Brian; Miall, R. Christopher – Psychological Review, 2012
Previous research on dual-tasks has shown that, under some circumstances, actions impair the perception of action-consistent stimuli, whereas, under other conditions, actions facilitate the perception of action-consistent stimuli. We propose a new model to reconcile these contrasting findings. The planning and control model (PCM) of motorvisual…

Mendres, Amber E.; Borrero, John C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
When responses function to produce the same reinforcer, a response class exists. Researchers have examined response classes in applied settings; however, the challenges associated with conducting applied research on response class development have recently necessitated the development of an analogue response class model. To date, little research…

Schilling, Jim F.; Koetting, J. Randall – Athletic Training Education Journal, 2010
Context: To understand and appropriately implement competency-based education (CBE) to its fullest potential in professional programs, an investigation of its evolution is required. Objective: To reveal the development of the CBE approach now dominating many professional programs in higher education, including Athletic Training Education Programs…

Malott, Richard W. – Educational Technology, 1993
Discusses the relevance of behavior analysis to higher education, including undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty, based on a three-contingency model of performance management. Natural contingencies, performance management contingencies, and theoretical contingencies are described, and applications of the model are discussed. (Contains 13…

Kuh, George D. – Journal of College Student Development, 1999
Originally published in January 1984, describes a framework in which extant models and knowledge from selected disciplines applicable to student affairs work can be synthesized. Argues that a multiple perspectives framework is a logical extension of previous efforts to lend direction to the thinking about and practice of student affairs work.…

Wiemann, John M. – Human Communication Research, 1977
Discusses a study designed to investigate the substructure of everyday social conversation which allows for judgments of competent communicative behavior or "communicative competence". Descriptions of perceived communicative competence characteristics are provided. (MH)
