Three self-report instruments assessing learning style were administered to 106 undergraduates. Performance measures on word list and prose learning tasks were also obtained using both immediate and delayed retention tests. Canonical correlation analysis of the pairs of instruments indicated a small to moderate amount of overlapped variance.…

Children's response to a handicapped child's differences may lie in earlier and more basic psychological phenomena than simply labels or separation. (Author/PHR)

The first experiment determined that verbal interference (shadowing) was detrimental to the subjects' memory of words and high similarity pictures; the second, designed to minimize the possibility that students would sort through the pictures, indicated that verbal interference did not decrease memory of high similarity pictures.

It was found that story relevant pictures help children recall stories, and the second graders in the study retained over a three day period. Although they had more to forget, children aided by pictures did not forget more than those in a control group. (Author/JEG)

Discusses differences in results of factor analyses of ten diverse samples which have been studied using the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS). Concludes that a single common factor structure accounts for the intercorrelations among NBAS items. (Author/BH)

Reviews the literature pertaining to spatial perspective-taking and attempts to account for the inconsistent findings in this area of research by examining the methodological differences between studies. (Author/SS)

Analyzes third grade children's performance on the Mueller-Lyer Illusion for whole and partial presentations of the figure. Results do not support Piaget's theory of perceptual development but are consistent with the theory of simultaneous and successive syntheses. (Author/BH)

Results provide little support for viewing decentering ability as the major cognitive skill underlying developmental trends on tasks of cognitive perspective taking, peer description, humor understanding, and causal attribution. (Author/BH)

Hypothesized that biofeedback training for fear-relevant physiological changes might provide a useful therapeutic strategy to influence directly a person's reaction to anxiety-inducing situations. (Author)

Explores varying characteristics of adolescent high and low overt aggressors. It is hypothesized that high, as compared to low, overt aggressors will be lower in fantasy capacity, need for social approval, self-reported hostile feelings, and will be sensitizers. (Author/RK)

Examines the dialogue communication behavior of a group of chronic, male schizophrenics and demonstrates a relation between these same indices of communication behavior and types of anxiety expression. (Editor/RK)

Jones and Nisbett (1972) hypothesize that actors attribute their actions to situational requirements whereas observers attribute the same actions to personal dispositions. This hypothesis is critically examined and a reconceptualization is proposed. (Editor/RK)

In the experiment reported here, dyslexic children are compared with controls in their processing of single digits. The rationale for the present study relates to a concern to identify if there are specifically unique aspects of how dyslexic children process visual information. (Author)
