Two different experimental procedures were used to examine (a) information-processing differences between two groups of subjects (Cs versus Vs) identified by the form of their conditioned eyeblinks; (b) information-processing differences between the right and left cerebral hemispheres; and (c) parallels between hypothesized C-V differences and…

When shown a pair of digits and asked to select the larger of the two, subjects make their choice more quickly as the numerical difference between the digits increases. Presents and tests a semantic coding model that can explain this and all previous results. (Editor)

This study explored the differential effects of a noxious stimulus under two conditions of information concerning the time of occurrence of the stress and two conditions of receiving temporal information. (Author/RK)

In a study of the effects of instructions on reaction times to judgments of the truth or falsity of sentences, 40 undergraduates were provided computer-assisted instruction by either the "true" or "conversion" model and required to judge 64 sentences of all possible combinations of true or false, affirmative or negative, and expletive or…

In recent years several models of human-information processing have been proposed in which the central component is a limited-capacity processing system. One line of research has focused on the question of which stages in the processing sequence require capacity in this system. This research is concerned with time and capacity demands in…

Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the P300 component of the human evoked response as an index of bisensory information processing. Data shows that the P300 promises to be a valuable tool for assessing brain processes during complex decision making. (Editor/RK)

Two differing explanations of schizophrenic processing deficit were examined: Chapman and McGhie's and Yates'. Thirty-two schizophrenics, classified on the acute-chronic and paranoid-nonparanoid dimensions, and eight neurotics were tested on two dichotic listening tasks. (Editor)

This paper describes a methodological approach to the reading processes, involving the use of measures of speed of response or reaction time (RT) obtained from subjects while performing reading related tasks. Following a review of the literature on measures of RT, two experiments currently being done at the University of Minnesota are described…
