The present study predicted that, if arousal is unitary, then stressors which separately induce it should be additive in their effects on behavioral efficiency. (Editor)

The recognition memory of eight-, ten-, and twelve-year-old children (n-108) was tested using an incidental learning technique. The children were required to categorize a set of word stimuli according to either a structural (presence or absence of the letter A in the word) or a semantic (identification of the word as the name of an animal or a…

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)

Compares the behavior of psychiatric patients in hospital and nonhospital settings. (Author/RK)

Explores the stress experienced by young adolescents who are undergoing a complete psychological assessment and psychodiagnostic evaluation. (Author)

Investigates several hypothesized relationships between Kohlberg's three levels of moral judgment and personality processes measured by selected scales of the MMPI. (Author/RK)

Assesses the effectiveness of a short-term, but intensive physical training program with a group of adult retardates at a sheltered workshop. (Author/RK)

Attempts to establish further the validity of the Child Scale, to investigate the individual nature of the items that compose the scale and their value as demographic factors in the prediction of therapeutic outcome, and to document further the use of target complaints as criteria in investigating the outcome of psychotherapy. (Author/RK)

Presents three experiments that explore whether inescapable shock of long duration and moderate intensity (LoShk) produces an avoidance-escape deficit (called an interference effect) by causing animals to learn to respond less actively or by causing them to learn to be "helpless". (Editor)

Repeated, isolated presentations of a stimulus typically reduce the subsequent ability of that cue to become an effective conditioned stimulus. This phenomenon is known as the latent inhibition effect. Four experiments investigate this effect. (Editor/RK)

Reviews six current behavioral formulations of depression and proposes an integration of these theoretical positions into a single explanatory model. (Author/RK)

Attempts to reexamine the role of response suppression as a contributor to retroactive inhibition in recall. (Author/RK)

Considers the ability to generalize validities for instruments developed in one setting to selection considerations for the same occupation in different national or cultural settings. (Author/RK)

The effect of set (to integrate or differentiate), characterization and conceptual structure on comprehension of a social situation was studied with a sample of 83 psychology students. Subjects judged groups, read stories and completed comprehension tests. Evidence provides support for the assumption that impressions affect one's comprehension of…
