Peer reviewedSchaeffer, Benson; Ellis, Stephen – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1970
Two experiments show that response to explicit dimensions is not crucial to the change from easier nonreversal to easier reversal shifts during overlearning in grammar school children ages 7, 8, and 9. (WY)

Peer reviewedBerman, Phyllis W. – Child Development, 1973
If learning is viewed in terms of the tendency to approach a stimulus that has been rewarded and to avoid a stimulus that has not been rewarded, then it must be concluded that the subjects in this study did not learn. (Author)

Direct linkSteinhauser, Marco; Hubner, Ronald – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
The hypothesis is introduced that 1 source of shift costs is the strengthening of task-related associations occurring whenever an overt response is produced. The authors tested this account by examining shift effects following errors and error compensation processes. The authors predicted that following a specific type of error, called task…

Effects of Background Event Rate on Sustained Attention of Mentally Retarded and Nonretarded Adults.
Tomporowski, Phillip D.; And Others – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1990
Mentally retarded and nonretarded adults (n=32) performed visual vigilance tests in which single digits were presented at either a fast or slow rate and the rate shifted without warning. Retarded observers detected fewer targets and made more false alarms than did nonretarded observers in all test conditions. (Author/JDD)

Jensen, Jeffrey P. – Probe, 1974
Five-year-old children who failed pretests of conservation of Number, Length, Mass, and Liquid Amount, but who possessed counting ability and knowledge of the terms "same" and "different" underwent Training and Conservation Posttests. (Author/CS)

Peer reviewedOffenbach, Stuart I.; And Others – Child Development, 1972
Results indicate that children's preferences were relatively stable over time. (Authors/MB)

Peer reviewedGoldstein, Sondra Blevins; Siegel, Alexander W. – Child Development, 1971
Study found that stimulus presence during a delay of reinforcement interval enhanced performance, and to a large extent prevented the usual delay-produced decrement. (Authors)

Peer reviewedLamm, Helmut; Myers, David G. – Social Behavior and Personality, 1976
Social-emotional and rational-cognitive explanations of group risky shift on choice dilemmas (hypothetical life situations) were evaluated by comparing shift in groups of low Mach (emotional) and high Mach (non-emotional) subjects. Effects of Machiavellian beliefs on social functioning are examined. Group composition was not observed to affect…

Download full textMontare, Alberto – 1972
This study is an exploratory attempt to test the idea that individual differences in the rate of acquisition of an original discrimination learning are related to individual differences in the capacity to estimate the passage of time. Included is a review of the literature on the psychology of time which indicates that underestimation of time is…

Runquist, Peggy A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Results indicate that responses are not organized per se, but that response grouping is mediated by stimulus categories. (Author)
