This present study is an attempt to investigate the extent to which knowledge of results in various forms (true, none, and false) may modify aesthetic judgment in "typical" (with respect to aesthetic judgment) students. (Author)

Kindergarten children were trained to make same-different judgments of either 2 or 4 standard figures under either 2 or 4 transformations before being transferred to a novel set of figures. (Editor)

Twenty subjects were pretrained with oral presentations of either three- or six-letter pseudowords exposed 0, 1, 5, 25, or 50 times. Then tachistoscopic duration thresholds were obtained for these pseudowords. (Editor)

Eight- and 9-year-olds (N=56) were studied to determine the degree to which counterconditioning could alter the positive or negative value acquired by a neutral stimulus in a conditioning situation. Dependent measures used to assess the effects of conditioning were found to have no independent effect on subsequent evaluations of the once-neutral…

Fifteen autistic and 15 normal Ss were trained to respond to a card containing two visual cues. The children were further tested on the single cues in order to assess whether one or both stimuli had acquired control over their responding. (Editor/RK)

Results indicated that individual differences in learning ability cannot be accounted for in terms of individual differences in short-term memory. (Authors)

The purpose of this article is to share some of the lesson plans the author found successful, and in which students had the opportunity to evaluate the responsibilities of a manager/supervisor position. (Author/RK)

An experiment was conducted to investigate memory in a concept (CI) identification problem as a function of the number of trials. As the performance was significantly better, it was concluded that participants actively try to store and retain information during their search for a solution. (Author/KM)

Designed to study implosive therapy with groups, this use of a behavioristic technique, which reduces unadaptive anxiety by emphasizing the presentation of the highly anxiety-evoking stimulus until the stimulus is no longer able to evoke anxiety, failed to produce a significant difference between control and therapy groups.
