This article explores prevailing rhetoric in published scholarship in the field of educational drama and applied theatre, responding to O'Toole's call to investigate if researchers in the field are "missing something vital by staying in our comfort zones". He noted a "serious need for more usable, broad-based, and reliable base-line…

Data from a cough challenge study are displayed with dot charts to demonstrate the importance of graphs in understanding data, principles of graph construction and visual perception. The data are available for use in the classroom.

This article describes expertise development in a player group in the massively multiplayer online game World of Warcraft using visualization of chat log data. Charts were created to get a general sense of chat trends in a specific player group engaged in "high-end raiding", a 40-person collaborative activity. These charts helped identify patterns…

The State Higher Education Finance (SHEF) report is produced annually by the State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO) to broaden understanding of the context and consequences of multiple decisions made every year in each of these areas. No single report can provide definitive answers to such broad and fundamental questions of public…

The present experiment was directed at establishing the empirical relations between re-pairing and degree of training, and between re-pairing and information about that re-pairing. (Author)

The present paper is concerned with uncontrollable, aversive stimulation. (Editor)

The present study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that aggressive offenders have a greater amount of theta activity in their electrocortical rhythms than nonaggressive offenders, and also to examine the more general question of whether such individuals are cortically underaroused, underreactive, or more easily dearoused. (Author)

Earlier reports of the pain of putting hand and forearm in circulating ice water were recomputed to study how subjects scale that pain and to find appropriate measures of its reduction under hypnotic analgesia. (Editor)

Attempts to evaluate the hypothesis that rats are more hesitant to ingest novel-flavored substances while they are under the influence of a toxic agent than in the normal state. (Author/RK)

The possibility that subjective contours are an artifact of brightness contrast was explored. Concludes that subjective contour and brightness contrast are distinct perceptual phenomena but share a dependency on the processing of edge information transmitted through the achromatic channels of the visual system. (Editor/RK)

The present study was designed to assess the cortical concomitants of selective mode-specific attention in subjects differing in the capacity for sustained attentional involvement. (Editor)

Data replicate and extend research on differences in physiological patterning between psychopaths and control subjects and provide new information on patterning with instructions and learned specificity with biofeedback. (Author/RK)

Examines an alternation effect and a repetition effect in a two-choice reaction time task. Two further experiments examine the roles of subjective expectancy and an automatic facilitation in determining these effects. (Editor/RK)

This research attempted to reconcile previous results in the area of humor and aggression. It was hypothesized that humor serves two functions, arousal and attentional shift, with regard to its influence on the relation of prior anger arousal and aggression. (Editor/RK)

The purpose of the present experiments was to investigate the effects of backward masking on differential eyelid conditioning. (Author)
