The hypothesized identity of the dimensions of extraversion-introversion and strength of the nervous system was tested on four groups of nine subjects (neurotic extraverts, stable extraverts, neurotic introverts, stable introverts). Strength of the subjects' nervous system was estimated using the electroencephalographic (EEG) variant of extinction…

Structural and semantic levels of processing were distinguished in two experiments that varied stimulus meaningfulness in an incidental learning paradigm. (Editor)

A recognition memory experiment investigated memory scanning when stimuli were organized but not easily labeled verbally. The principle findings indicated that the organization of the to-be-remembered sets had a pronounced influence on performance. (Editor/RK)

Memory for sequences of briefly presented letters was examined to discover the effects of intraserial repetition and acoustic contrast on recall of a critical letter pair. (Editor)

Two experiments were designed to consider the effects of chronic high residential density on responses to choice and controllable and uncontrollable outcomes. (Editor)

Discusses and applies to data models of juror decision making that make explicit what has been implicit in most previous theorizing about jury behavior--namely, a decision criterion and a distribution of apparent weight of evidence. (Author/RK)

Subjects studied three lists of words using a high- or low-organization mnemonic strategy, so that the two groups might differ in organizational (list) information but acquire about equal frequency (occurrence) information. It was predicted that organizational information would be used in recognition decisions. (Editor/RK)

The first part of this report consists of more than 12 studies of various psychological tests results which previous cross-cultural research had shown to vary with educational experience. The second part consists of a demographic survey designed to specify the selective factors operating to determine the amount of education obtained by Yucatan…

This research on eyelid conditioning was designed to evaluate the contributions of sensory, associative, and criterion effects with variations in the interstimulus interval. (Editor/RK)

Presents a speed-accuracy tradeoff method for studying the dynamics of memory retrieval in recall that may be useful in studying the relationship between recall and recognition. Describes the method and uses it to compare retrieval dynamics in recall and recognition as a function of the presence or absence of associative inference. (Author/RK)

The two-process theory of detection, search, and attention presented by Schneider and Shiffrin (1977) is tested and extended in a series of experiments. The studies demonstrate the qualitative difference between two modes of information processing: automatic detection and controlled search. A general framework for human information processing is…

Reviews recent research on information processing and decision making in orienteering. The main cognitive demands investigated were selection of relevant map information for route choice, comparison between map and terrain in map reading and in relocation, and quick awareness of mistakes. Presents a model of map reading based on results. Contains…

Explores sex and age differences in the level of object representations and human movement in the dreams of adolescents. Dream analyses from 106 adolescents reveal significant differences in quality of object representations in male and female adolescents' dream content. Females' dreams contained significantly higher amounts of human movement than…

Genetic research on intelligence has moved beyond the nature-nurture controversy to investigate developmental change and continuity, associations among cognitive abilities, and the developmental interface between nature and nurture. Advances in molecular genetics are leading to a new era of research. (Author/SLD)

Eight studies utilizing college student subjects present support for state-trait anger theory. Discusses the different findings for different studies. Few gender differences were found across the studies. Results are discussed in terms of state-trait theory, convergent and discriminant validity for the Trait Anger Scale, anger expression, gender…
