Two theories of comparative judgment were compared across four experiments on their ability to explain the Baldwin figure, a focal line whose apparent length is affected by square boxes at or near its endpoints. (Editor)

In four experiments involving blindfolded subjects, constant errors in the haptic judgment of extent in the horizontal plane were found to relate consistently to the time and velocity of limb movement. Taken together with additional information on judgments of movement duration, the results suggest that the illusion of extent is modulated by the…

True-false scales were devised to measure anhedonia, the lowered ability to experience pleasure. The scales were Physical Anhedonia (40 items) and Social Anhedonia (48 items). (Editor)

Examines the utility of the Mini-Mult, a short form of the MMPI, as a screening device for women who request an abortion. (Author/RK)

Three experiments were performed to test the assertion that attractiveness of novel or complex stimuli has confounded experiments on the relative importance of S+ and S- in discrete-trial discrimination. (Editor)

The basic question asked in this research was whether it is possible, through training, to influence a subject's preference for encoding a particular attribute. (Author/RK)

Presents evidence that spoonerisms result from a conflict in word sequencing that carries through to phoneme sequencing, and in the process illustrates the use of some techniques for the experimental elicitation of spoonerisms. (Author/RK)

Describes a training program that makes a particular effort to achieve transfer of training to the job and some preliminary research indicating the effectiveness of the transfer. (Author/RK)

Evaluates the effect of behavior modeling training on employee morale, customer satisfaction, and sales. (Author/RK)

Extends the theoretical and practical implications of organizational climate research based upon the data from two studies, Sims and LaFollette (1975) and Litwin and Stringer (1968). (Author/RK)

This study focuses on reported (a) satisfaction in stages of the life cycle; (b) levels of general happiness; and (c) frequency of peak experiences. Subjects were 48 undergraduate students (17 males, 31 females) at Laurentian University, Canada. Results from all three areas in this study accord closely with other relevant published work.

An information processing model, Memory-Aided Pattern Perceiver (MAPP), that simulates the recall of briefly presented chess positions, was subjected to a test of its assumption that such positions are encoded and stored as chunks in short-term memory. (Editor)

Why does the rehearsal of information not interfere with a subject's temporal judgments. Offers evidence in favor of one possible interpretation. Taking an analogy from the phenomenon of the localization of sound in a sound-reverberating room, this research suggests a precedence effect in verbal information processing. (Author/RK)

These experiments allow a comparison between visual and auditory presentation per se: Will it be easier to identify "red" as relevant given a geometric design or its verbal description? Suggests that visual presentation confers one advantage: allows the formation of a nonverbal code in addition to a verbal description. (Author/RK)
