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.

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)

The necessity of evaluating research methodology is discussed, and a profiling approach is proposed. Explanatory statements about the research process, directions for doing the actual profiling of the research report, a research profiling flow chart, a research profile sheet, and two additional graphic aids to understanding are included. The…

Article investigated the possible effects of drug abuse upon the central nervous system by comparing the incidence of EEG abnormality in drug abusers and non-users. (Author/RK)

The Data File Documentation reports on the procedures and methodologies employed during the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 base year, first, and second follow-ups, with special emphasis on the second follow-up (2006). The document is designed to provide guidance for users of the restricted-use data as released in Electronic Codebook (ECB)…

Builds upon earlier experiments in an attempt to measure the interferences between simultaneous tasks and the effects of hypnotic dissociation in increasing or decreasing this interference, thus testing the validity of one or the other of two theoretical models. (Author/RK)

The present experiments test two plausible interpretations of the effect of frequency on relative recency judgments. (Editor)

This research used tasks analogous to Delayed Matching-to-Sample tasks to study pigeons' Short Term Memory for responses and reinforcers, as well as for more conventional stimuli. The broad question is whether stimulus, response, and reinforcer memories are all influenced in the same way by the same independent variables. (Author/RK)

Assesses the effects of both experimenter- and subject-controlled reinforcement on the frequency of uncommon responses during originality training and a subsequent transfer task. (Author/RK)

Considers listener expectancies based on timing redundancy in continuous speech and the interaction between the effects of segmental and suprasegmental cues during ongoing perception. (Editor/RK)

The major experimental question, does the double-bind produce anxiety, was asked in the context of the double-bind unit, rather than the more complicated double-bind process, i.e., as it affects one person rather than as it affects both parties involved in a mutual interaction. (Author/RK)

Children differing in locus of control orientation (internals, mediums, and externals) were administered an extended coding task following either a fictional rationale for the study (purpose incentive statement) or no purpose. Implications of these findings for education and child-rearing are discussed. (Editor/RK)

This paper describes two experiments that were designed to evaluate several possible models for the symbol-element paradigm. (Author)

School pupils (mean age 17 years) were classified as convergers or divergers on the basis of their performance on the AH5 Intelligence Test and the Uses of Objects test. They were presented with a set of concrete and abstract sentences, followed immediately by a forced-choice recognition test. Considered the interaction between…

This is a third and final paper on aspects of multiracial education, derived from data collected by the National Foundation for Educational Research in England and Wales for the Department of Education and Science. (Author/RK)
