The author sauggests that present inquiry methods are often missing their goal and offers a technique to engage students in creative inquiry. (Author)

Studies the ability of college women to generalize resistance to stress when learning lists of nonsense syllables. Subjects trained under one type of stress learned more easily under a second type of stress than did subjects trained under nonstressful conditions. Table, graph, and bibliography. (RW)

A severely handicapped 20-year-old woman in a public school setting was taught to ride the city bus. Results indicated that skills acquired in the classroom, for both bus boarding and bus departing, generalized only minimally to the natural environment. (Author/SB)

Examined effect of emotion on recall of self-generated paired associates under conditions of immediate and delayed retention. Results showed that, with immediate retention, recall of associates to emotional stimuli was significantly lower than to neutral stimuli and, with delayed retention, associations to emotional stimuli were better recalled.…

Explores the generalization of changes in children's preferences for easy or difficult goals, when their preferences are induced by exposure to peer models playing a novel athletic game. Subjects played the same game immediately after exposure, participated in a "spelling bee" three weeks later, and chose puzzles of differing levels of…

Tested hypotheses derived from Beck's cognitive theory of depression. Subjects rated performance before and after receiving feedback on a social interaction task. Results showed depressed males and females had more negative evaluation of present circumstances and poorer memory for feedback. Data were partially supportive of Beck's theory regarding…

At the Iowa School for the Deaf, five young hearing children (age three years) were integrated into the preschool program to study the development of total communication skills including speech and language patterns. (Author/PHR)

Discusses the generalization of findings from analogue therapy research to the clinical situation. Rakover contends this leads to self-contradiction and lack of scientific progress and proposes theory testing. Kazdin suggests research to determine the relationship of analogue therapy to clinical practice. (JAC)

The effects of social skills training upon the behavior of eight previously institutionalized mentally retarded adults residing in community group homes were evaluated. In comparison to a control group, the Ss who received training showed substantial changes in the desirable direction for each behavior. (Author)

A comparative assessment of eight normal and eight psychotic children in a stimulus generalization paradigm using simple and complex figures. Six of the subjects fulfilled the criteria for infantile autism. (CM)

Two experiments were conducted to examine the role of sex differences in learned helplessness in the generalization of failure experience. Subjects in experiment 1 were fifth graders and subjects in experiment 2 were fourth, fifth, and sixth graders. (MP)

Twenty-four underassertive adults were randomly assigned to two treatment orders that included covert modeling and behavior rehearsal. No measurable difference in treatments was found, but participants preferred and had greater expectations of behavior rehearsal. Skill generalization to untrained situations occurred on 8 of 11 behavioral measures.…
