Data indicate that the Visual-Sequential Memory subtest of the ITPA and the Knox Cube Test measure different aspects of visual-sequential memory ability. (KW)

It is proposed that the sight of people being injured aggressively is a reinforcement for observers who are anger or who have been frequently rewarded for aggression. The catharsis hypothesis blinds us to the principle that aggression may lead to more aggression. (Author)

Results indicate that scale values can be approximated satisfactorily through item-examinee sampling. Defining one observation as the response made by one examinee to one item, the similarity between the estimated scale values and normative scale values increased generally with increases in the number of observations acquired by the sampling plan.…

The results of this study of 24 9- and 10-year-old normal children indicated that by 9 years of age, children spontaneously adopt both ear and temporal recall strategies under the same conditions as do adults. The children readily switch from one recall strategy to the other as a function of the rate input of the material. (WY)

The amount of reinforcement received during initial learning activities has a direct effect on the ability to transfer training. (CK)

The tracking behavior of Infants up to 5 months of age was studied using linear and circular trajectories, with partial occlusion of the trajectories. Results indicate that it is not until the age of about 16 weeks that infants can be said to be tracking a moving object as an object. (Author/WY)
