In the present study, we assert that pictures serve four functions in problem solving: decorative, representational, organizational and informational. We, therefore, investigate the effects of pictures based on their functions in mathematical problem solving (MPS), by high achievement students of Grade 6 in Cyprus, in a communication setting. A…

Expectancy, relaxation, and hierarchy content were manipulated. Findings did not support the hypothesis that expectancy was the only factor in desensitization, but did clarify the role of expectancy vis-a-vis the counterconditioning elements typically discussed in the literature. (Author)

Counselors, psychotherapists, and counselor educators completed a modified repertory test. Contrary to previous findings, presumed positive and negative affect role constructs of significant others did not produce significant differences. The role constructs--boss and person you'd like to help--previously presumed to be negative affect role…

Discusses the interaction of age and sex factors on consistency of recognition of 71 Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test pictures by preschool children. (TO)

The present experiments have served to reduce the distinction between the clustering of items from a categorized list and the subjective organization of items from an unrelated list. (Author)

The present study was designed to test the implication of the rehearsal deficit hypothesis of Brown (1972) and Morin et al. (1970). In it retarded adolescents were given rehearsal training on a keeping-track task. (Author/RK)

The present study was concerned with current theories of the coding of visual information and with the conditions under which this information processing differs for deaf and hearing subjects. (Author/RK)

The initial concern of these studies was with the superiority of pictures over corresponding words as stimuli in paired associate learning. (Author)

Children between 4 and 10 years participated in a study of their ability to discriminate pictorially represented depth. Stimuli comprised pictures in which depth cues were systematically manipulated.

The primary purpose of the present experiment was to examine the relationship of race and sex of model and observer in imitative performance and imitative knowledge. (Author)

The approach of the present experiment is a developmental one in that it attempts to relate the preferences of children for certain selected stimuli, letters and letter-like shapes, to their age and experience. (Author)

The purpose of the present experiment was to examine questions on information specification raised by P. R. Laughlin. Ss were asked to solve one attribute-identification problem, using the selection paradigm. (Author/RK)

The contributions of initial stimulus affect and of associative learning to the effects of repeated stimulus exposures were examined in two experiments. (Editor)
