This study involved an investigation of the use of Pearson r, tetrachoric r, and Kendall Tau-B coefficients as measures of association for the incomplete principal components analysis of simulated Likert scale attitudinal data, based on a known factor pattern and possessing different types of severe departures from normality.

The study of the contribution of linguistics to the non-quantitative methods of document processing used in information science is the subject of this article. These methods are divided into two broad groups: tabulation (linguistics units extracted from natural language) and interpretative (syntactical and/or semantic analysis). (100 references)…

The finding that the impulsivity-reflectivity dimension was not related to risk-taking behavior was clearly unexpected. (Author)

Information integration theory is a unified general theory that covers several areas of psychology from psychophysics to clinical judgment. It rests on a mathematical basis that has had considerable success in some precise and demanding tests. (Author)

This study indicates that a period of positive prior contact between a child subject and an adult experimenter may result in a relative decrease in performance for material reward dispensed by that adult experimenter. (Authors)

Subjects learning high-frequency names had significantly better recall, confirming that color memory is a function of linguistic codability, not perceptual experience. (Author)

Primary purpose of the present research was to test the reasoning that any procedure that interferes with the naming of the test stimuli, while leaving visual complexity unaffected, ought to increase the detrimental effects on reaction time and accuracy produced by changing case. (Authors/CB)

On the assumption that vividness reports and recall were both mediated by the same covert event - a visual image - these results provide further evidence that images have an important role in memory. (Author)

Purpose of the present research was to determine whether certain Pavlovian conditioning phenomena occur in a simple probability learning situation. (Authors)

Study investigated the nature of the information that is available to Ss when they have comprehended linguistic materials. (Authors)

Results of experiment clearly indicate the superiority of forward associations. (Author)
