Sabrina González; Ana Cristina S. M. Rocha – Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education, 2025
In the first decades of the twentieth century, amidst the emergence of experimental psychology, Latin American educators became pedagogical innovators and advocates of school reforms. They used the classroom as a laboratory to study children's intelligence and collect data that could potentially improve their education. This paper traces…

Winterbauer, Neil E.; Bouton, Mark E. – Learning and Motivation, 2011
Three experiments with rat subjects examined resurgence of an extinguished instrumental response using the procedure introduced by Epstein (1983) with pigeons. There were three phases: (1) initial acquisition of pressing on a lever (L1) for pellet reward, (2) extinction of L1, and (3) a test session in which a second lever (L2) was inserted,…

Markham, Chris M.; Huhman, Kim L. – Learning & Memory, 2008
Conditioned defeat is a model wherein hamsters that have previously experienced a single social defeat subsequently exhibit heightened levels of avoidance and submission in response to a smaller, non-aggressive intruder. While we have previously demonstrated the critical involvement of the basolateral and central nuclei of the amygdala in the…

Van Acker, Frederik; Theuns, Peter – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2010
Information Integration Theory (IIT) is concerned with how people combine information into an overall judgment. A method is hereby presented to perform Functional Measurement (FM) experiments, the methodological counterpart of IIT, on the Web. In a comparison of Web-based FM experiments, face-to-face experiments, and computer-based experiments in…

Slama-Cazacu, Tatiana – Linguistics, 1975
Problems in the experimental laboratory in scientific research are discussed and solutions are proposed for the problem of conflicts between the experimental model and reality. As a possible beginning for change, an apparatus is suggested to replace the tachistoscope. (SCC)

Abramson, Charles I.; And Others – Teaching of Psychology, 1996
Describes two new exercises in classical conditioning that use earthworms and houseflies. The animals are available year-round and pose no risk to the students or instructor. The conditioned stimuli are odorants. These elicit a conditioned response of contraction in worms or proboscis extension in flies. (MJP)

Dougherty, Donald M.; Mathias, Charles W.; Marsh, Dawn M.; Papageorgiou, T. Dorina; Swann, Alan C.; Moeller, F. Gerard – Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, 2004
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between laboratory behavioral measured impulsivity (using the Immediate and Delayed Memory Tasks) and suicidal attempt histories. Three groups of adults were recruited, those with either: no previous suicide attempts (Control, n = 20), only a single suicide attempt (Single, n = 20), or…

Rowland, David L.; Wesselhoft, Theresa – Teaching of Psychology, 1998
Reports on a laboratory experiment where students measured their heart rate, blood pressure, mood, alertness, and cognitive performance. Measures showed significant circadian heart rhythm variations. They were strongly correlated and peaked at different times. Discusses the implications of this and students' reactions to the experiment. (MJP)

Bonoma, Thomas V.; And Others – 1972
Forty female subjects were given intermittent options to transmit noncontingent promises of intent to cooperate during the course of a mixed-motive laboratory game. In a 2 x 2 experimental design, a robot target either reciprocated subjects' promise statements or concealed her behavioral intentions, and was either always cooperative or always…

Baker, A. G. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 1976
Demonstrates that preexposure to uncorrelated presentations of noises and shocks when rats are not permitted to respond interferes with the acquisition of both conditioned emotional response and signaled punishment suppression. (Author/RK)

Newcomb, Andrew F.; Bagwell, Catherine L. – Teaching of Psychology, 1997
Discusses the use of a teaching fellows program (undergraduates teaching undergraduates) in a psychology laboratory class. Examines the goals, outcomes, curriculum, and implementation of the laboratory class and how these were impacted through the use of teaching fellows. Includes a table showing curriculum, content area, laboratory activities,…

Janoff-Bulman, Ronnie – Integrated Education, 1982
In psychology, experimental studies are susceptible to the biases of the investigator in problem formulation, operationalization, sample selection, and data interpretation. Thus, what we regard as an objective, value-free approach to science is neither unbiased nor value-free. (GC)

Dinsmoor, James A.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 1976
Tests the hypothesis that the effectiveness of discriminative stimuli as reinforcers is a function of the magnitude of the difference between them. (Author/RK)

Trotter, Robert J. – Science News, 1974
Results of psychological experiments usinganimals are presented. Use of the animal-human analogy to generalize these findings to humans is discussed. Ethological studies are interpreted in light of the total environment and situation involved. The completeness of the ethological model compared to the animal-experimental model is discussed. (LS)
