An attempt to build a mathematical model of a device that could learn geometry is discussed. The report discusses the background and motivation of the study, the coding problem, the derivation of Suppes "Stimulus-Response Theory of Finite Automata" used in the work in learning theory, and a summary of the technical work.

Sixty males received either one, 5, or 9 electric shocks of varying magnitude from a confederate during a 10-trial probability estimation task. Following initial trials, subject and confederate reversed roles, and subjects were permitted equal opportunity to counter-aggress against the confederate. One-half the subjects had been forewarned of role…

Two experiments made in a study of the feasibility of keeping children away from harmful household goods through the use of odorous chemical substances which elicit inherent aversive reactions in children are discussed. The subjects, procedure, and results of each experiment are given. The overall results of the study show that, in general, the…

Author found deficiencies in Hardt and Kamiya's article (AA 522 799) and he briefly reviewed the relevant research and the nature of the "alpha phenomena" making it clear which conclusions are warranted by the available data and what needs to be done to resolve the remaining issues. (Author/RK)

An important issue in encoding theories of memory is the stability of encodings from one stimulus presentation to the next. Article investigate the use of homonyms as an approach to observing the changes in word associations. (Author/RK)

The principal aim of this research was to test the levels of processing approach to memory by directly varying the depth to which the input could be processed, as opposed to the earlier incidental learning tests of levels of processing, where the input was held constant across processing conditions.

A series of experiments was conducted to determine aspects of both perceptual and motor processing for the consonant cluster (st). (Editor)

In order to examine the degree to which form perception affects the formation of apparent-motion experience, subjects were presented with nine ambiguous apparent-motion situations, where the elements of each single flash were various figures. (Editor)

This research attempted to find the causal relation between mood and level of reinforcement. An effort was made to learn what mood change might occur if depressed subjects increased their levels of participation in reinforcing activities. (Author/RK)

The present study was designed to assess the mood correlates of learned helplessness in human subjects. (Editor)
