Realistic male and female plastic dolls were used in this study which examined the relative importance of cues associated with physical sex characteristics (genitals, body type, and hair length). (WY)

Experiments were conducted to determine the influence upon task difficulty of these factors: age; percentage of redundancy between relevant and irrelevant cues; saliency of reinforcement, discriminability of relevant nonpreferred dimension, and learning set pretraining to reject preferred irrelevant dimensions.

Studied arousal of anxiety, which supposedly accompanies high evaluation apprehension, in 250 college students. Results showed a cueing effect with high evaluation aprehension students rating photographs more positively than low evaluation apprehension students. Analysis of the anxiety scores failed to reveal any significant differences. (WAS)

Two groups of 20 trainable mentally retarded (12- to 14-year-old) children each participated in a 26-week course during which recognition and transfer to standard orthography were measured. The cued-word group was significantly superior in reading words in standard orthography during training as well as at the end of training. (Author/CL)

This experiment was designed to control the factors that mask the effect of proactive interference on a free-recall test. (Author/PN)

The study investigated the effectiveness of the color coding technique in remediating the reversals of p, b, and d for 23 upper elementary school children with reversal problems. Using color coded letters as cues in words was less effective than simply practicing the same words without color coded cues. (Author)

Studied use of electromyographic (CMG) biofeedback to increase efficacy of cue-controlled relaxation training in treatment of test anxiety. Results indicated cue-controlled relaxation was effective in increasing test performance for test-anxious subjects. EMG biofeedback did not contribute to effectiveness. Self-report measures of anxiety are…

There was some evidence to support the suggestion that certain types of mentally handicapped children attend to singe cues rather than to total configuration. There was also evidence of perceptual distortion resulting in reversal and attraction to "good form." (Author)

Mildly retarded, equal MA, and equal CA individuals (total N=30) viewed tachistoscopic presentations of single element displays under a backward visual masking paradigm. The data revealed that, under minimal load conditions, the internal cue-selection component of selective attention for mildly retarded Ss is comparable to that of the nonretarded…

When college students attempted to integrate multiple cues into a single value judgment, the resulting cognitive load did not simplify cue-judgment relationships. Cue values were translated into judgment-relevant subjective values before integration. Findings support the information integration theory. (Author/CP)

Retrieval and response criterion explanations of the effects of text organization on memory were tested in four experiments. More target information was freely recalled when it was high than when low in content structure. Retrieval cues reduced recall differences between information high and low in the structure.

The article explores the theory that the sense of hearing evolved to help an organism localize its position in space and perform aural analyses of that space and describes two major kinds of hearing loss--conductive and sensorineural. (PHR)

Aims at providing data for evaluating the proposition that associations between exteroceptive (outside) stimuli and illness play a role in determining the effect of unconditioned stimulus preexposure on subsequent taste aversion conditioning. (Author/RK)

Uses new approaches to differentiate three types of models describing intuitive numerical prediction. (Author)
