Attempts to settle the question of whether reading units are ever larger than letters and considers the variables expected to influence the size of the reading unit. (Author/RK)

Reports some additional research that may resolve questions about the meanings accessed in recognizing ambiguous words. (Author/RK)

New media, i.e., motion pictures developed for educational purposes and educational television, are basic in that they so dominate the experiences of the child. Teachers must devise strategies for using the moving image as an active agent in learning and for encouraging the child to be an active agent in seeing. (Author/RK)

Describes an undergraduate chemistry laboratory experiment involving the production of phenol from benzene with the intermediate production of isopropylbenzene and isopropylbenzene hydroperoxide. (SL)

The present study casts doubt on (1) the validity of assuming certain geometric illusions as being "perspective" related, and (2) the consistency of perspective explanation (constancy scaling) for geometric illusions. (Author)

Demonstrates that preexposure to uncorrelated presentations of noises and shocks when rats are not permitted to respond interferes with the acquisition of both conditioned emotional response and signaled punishment suppression. (Author/RK)

A strong test of exposure effects was made by eliminating confounding demand characteristics through the use of a between-subject design. Each subject viewed novel stimuli at a single frequency level, and then rated them on several affective scales. (Editor)

Evaluates affective and self-disclosure responses to the disclosure of stigmatizing information by an experimental partner. Greater liking and self-disclosure were expected where the partner discloses exclusively to the subject than where he either does not disclose or discloses to everyone. (Author/RK)

Based on Zimbardo's (1970) theory of deindividuation and Duval and Wicklund's (1972) theory of "objective self-awareness" it was predicted that self-awareness would lead to a decrease in transgressive behavior. (Editor)

A number of phenomena in speech perception have been called fusion, but little effort has been made to compare these phenomena in a systematic fashion. This paper examines six of them. (Editor/RK)

Describes an experiment that utilizes the techniques of temperature synthesis, crystallization from a molten salt, oxidation-reduction in a molten salt, powder X-ray diffraction and analysis by high temperature volatilization or a specific ion electrode. (MLH)

Describes an experiment that shows that fluorescence emission intensities are significantly modified by absorption processes and that these effects can be eliminated by positioning the sample cell such that the interrogation region corresponds to the corner of the cell. (MLH)

Demonstrates how to use the area of proton magnetic resonance peaks to distinguish protons in water molecules close to a metal cation from protons in the bulk of the water. (MLH)

Discusses a chemical engineering course which includes laboratory experiments on polymerization, polymer fabrication, and polymer properties. (MLH)

Discusses the dipositive oxidation state of silicon and describes laboratory experiments concerning the synthesis and reactions of silicon difluoride. (MLH)
