This study examined the effects of four levels of nonverbal facial gestures on client verbal behavior in a quasi-interview setting. Results indicated that subjects produced significantly greater amounts of feeling when stimuli were presented by the female experimenter as opposed to the male experimenter. (Author)

Exploratory and play behavior were studied in young children using three dimensional random polygon objects. (ST)

This experiment tested the hypothesis that dream recallers would have better memory for visual stimuli than dream nonrecallers. (Editor)

An investigation of 4-month-old children's attention responses to pattern dimensions and orientations by comparing the duration of an infant's fixation to changes in the orientation and structural arrangement of a previously exposed pattern. (ED)

Aphasic children were taught to communicate via a system of visual symbols devised by Premack (1969) for use with chimpanzees. Subjects readily learned to express several language functions in this way. "Premackese" is seen better viewed as a communication system. It may be that Aphasic children lack some specifically linguistic ability.…

The primary purpose of this article is to describe, justify, and elaborate a preliminary quantitative model for a subset of the letter-identification process. (Author)

Study based on M.A. Thesis submitted to Memphis State University (Meador, 1967).

Based on PhD dissertation submitted to the University of California, Los Angeles.

This study investigates a negative component (N220) of visual evoked potential (VEP) which increases as certain cognitive processes are activated. Nine experimental conditions were designed by combining three stimulus and three task conditions. Letters were used as verbal stimuli, matrix patterns were used as nonverbal stimuli, and white light was…

Subliminal stimulation is defined as that which is perceived by an individual below the threshold of awareness or cognizance. This article traces the history of research in subliminal stimulation to illustrate that under certain circumstances and conditions, this behavioral phenomenon does occur. Although subliminal stimuli do affect human…

Naval researchers studied the effects of delay in the presentatio of visual information on pilot performance. Simulated carrier landing tasks were performed by subjects using a visual display generated by a computer. In one part of the experiment pilots were asked to "fly" carrier approaches with and without a 0.1 second delay in the…

Four experiments were conducted to investigate the extent to which infants of different ages respond to facelike drawings on the basis of stimulus complexity and/or resemblance to the human face. Infants' responses to stimulus patterns were assessed using the corneal reflection technique developed by Robert Trantz. In the first two experiments,…
