Effect Of Maze Arm Alternation On Maze Traversal Latency : Analysis Of The Aftereffects Hypothesis, Ronald Seymour Johnson

Master's Theses

Clark Hull (1952) proposed that nonreinforccd trials facilitate distinctive after effects and used this "aftereffect" theory to account for the PREE (the greater resistance to extinction of partially rewarded Ss as compared to continuously rewarded Ss). The theory proposed that stimulus traces of a nonrewarded trial (S^N) persist and are conditioned to the locomotor response (R_i) on trials which are reinforced and preceded by nonreinforced trials. If t he S^N_>R_i association has been established under partial reward conditions, and since S^N occurs during extinction, PREE is predicted.

Effects Of Category-Relevance, Retention Measure, And Category-Affiliation Upon Retention Of The Aging, Gary M. Tyson

Master's Theses

The present investigation represents an attempt to further explore several parameters of short-term memory as a function of the relevance of appropriateness of the verbal materials utilized. It is the author's contention that due to changing patterns of interests and experiences accompanying chronological aging, certain types of verbal material vary with respect to their relevance for use with aging populations. In regard to parameters of short-term memory, the present study contains provisions for exploring efficiency of retention as a function of the retention measure; and category•affiliated as opposed to randomly-selected words. A more complete and integrated formulation is presented in …

Mexican-American Children In The Process In Acculturation, Elizabeth Ford Stone O'Neill

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The web of Mexican-American life is complex in its origins, its manifestations, and its degree of identification with or alienation from the dominant culture. A thesis of the length of this one can deal with all this complexity only in a superficial way. However, by a rather narrowly defined examination of a few children certain insights may be gained which could be used as a basis for generalization about other children of similar background, and perhaps even for some tentative generalizations about the problems of the Mexican-American community as a whole.

The Relationship Between Beards And The Self Concept, Walter H. Nelson

All Master's Theses

This research investigated possible differences between the individual self concepts of bearded and non-bearded college men. Two groups of college men, 50 bearded (B) and 50 non-bearded (NB), were randomly selected, interviewed, and given the Tennessee Self Concept Scale (TSCS). Subjects were placed into appropriate categories by judges when they were present during testing times, and by the researcher when they were not. No significant differences in the self concepts existed between groups. These results may reflect what may be expected from other groups or college men.
