Cortical Localization Of Handedness In The Rat, Luther W. Rook
Cortical Localization Of Handedness In The Rat, Luther W. Rook
Psychology ETDs
This study is a continuation of the Peterson handedness studies. Basically, these studies seek a means to investigate the nature of the neural equivalent of practice. Many investigators are interested in this problem, among them the conditioned reflexologists. They, however, have failed to identify any neural equivalent because they have failed to localize a conditioned reflex...
It should be emphasized that the primary concern of this and previous handedness studies is not with handedness per se. Handedness is a highly useful and sensitive means of determining the functionality of a small part of the nervous system. The objective of …
Resistance To Weakening Influences As A Function Of The Similarity Between Aquisition And Weakening Phases, Harry F. Desroches
Resistance To Weakening Influences As A Function Of The Similarity Between Aquisition And Weakening Phases, Harry F. Desroches
Doctoral Dissertations
In general there are three reasons for the study: (1) to test a specific hypothesis as deduced from a particular theoretical position, the generalization hypothesis, that resistance to weakening influences is a function of the similarity between acquisition and weakening phases, (2) to compare and to contrast the influences of various experimental operations in weakening a learned response, (3) to compare two groups of people who are believed to respond different to traditional methods of strengthening and weakening behaviors.
There is general agreement that much, if not most, of human behavior is learned. As the infant matures he meets new …
An Appraisal Of Psychologic Deficit In Children With Cerebral Palsy, Garret H. Yanagi
An Appraisal Of Psychologic Deficit In Children With Cerebral Palsy, Garret H. Yanagi
Doctoral Dissertations
It is the purpose of this study to investigate the relationship between Psychologic Deficit and the effects of brain damage and environmental experiences. It is an exploratory study, therefore concerned with descriptive, testable data which may yield hypotheses concerning cerebral palsied children.
Thus, an attempt has been made to point out various viewpoints and corresponding contradictory experimental evidence with regard to the cerebral palsied. One criticism which is inherent in many of these studies lies in the difficulty encountered in replicating them. This difficulty was seen in the lack of definition of terms, as well as of well defined groups, …

A Normative Study Of Some Developmental Aspects Of The Human Figure Drawings Of Children, Bessie M. Whitehead
A Normative Study Of Some Developmental Aspects Of The Human Figure Drawings Of Children, Bessie M. Whitehead
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
For many years there has been much interest in the use of human figure drawings as a projective technique for diagnostic use with the mentally ill. Psychiatric implications are attributed to practically every possible characteristic exhibited in the human figure, but until recently, little has been done toward establishing standards or norms describing objectively how various groups in the population actually perform when asked to draw a person. A clinician had no ruler by which to measure the performance of his client. He had no standard by which he could decide that the behavior exhibited was usual or abnormal for …
The Production Of Voluntary Response Gradients Of Stimulus Generalization In The Absence Of Reinforced Discrimination Learning, Donald T. Tosti
The Production Of Voluntary Response Gradients Of Stimulus Generalization In The Absence Of Reinforced Discrimination Learning, Donald T. Tosti
Psychology ETDs
The experiments reported in this paper were performed to test the hypothesis that stimulus generalization with voluntary responses can be shown in the absence of reinforced stimulus discrimination. There are two important distinctions which together differentiate these experiments from most of the previous studies in this area.
First, the methods utilized here require no discrimination between stimuli during acquisition of the response; i.e., S does not discriminate between the CS and test stimuli during acquisition. In contrast, the majority of studies of stimulus generalization with human S's employing voluntary responses have contained this problem, which is not present in …
The Judgment Of Intelligence From Photographs, Charlene Diver Fredenburgh
The Judgment Of Intelligence From Photographs, Charlene Diver Fredenburgh
Psychology ETDs
Between 1918 and 1933 several studies appeared in which the ability of a person to make judgments of intelligence from photographs was assessed. The topic has not been pursued since then, despite the inadequacies of these early studies. These investigations found that, on the average, the ability of individuals to judge the Intelligence of pictured persons is either nonexistent or low.
Food Intake As A Function Of Duration Of Food Deprivation In The Albino Rat, John H. Wright
Food Intake As A Function Of Duration Of Food Deprivation In The Albino Rat, John H. Wright
Master's Theses
The present study is an attempt to investigate food intake as a function of hours of food deprivation for a wide range of deprivation values. On the basis of the existing evidence it is expected that intake will increase for the shorter deprivation values but subsequently decrease for the longer deprivation values. Additional interest lies in the secondary measures of weight loss during deprivation, water intake during the consumption period, and weight gained during the consumption period.
The Development Of A Multi-Dimensional Rating Scale For Measuring Psychopharmacological Effects On The Behavior Of Institutionalized Mentally Retarded Children, Ross A. Evans
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
The present study selected as its objective the development of a rating scale for use by psychologists wishing to measure psychopharmacologically-induced changes in the behavior of institutionalized mentally retarded children. The need for such a scale is evidenced by the recent interest these drugs have created in the field of mental retardation.
In constructing the rating scale, the investigator was guided by the neurophysiological theories of drug action and the findings of experimental and non-experimental empirical investigations. The specific content of the scale was procured primarily by: (1) circulating a questionnaire designed to elicit behavior descriptions of atypical mentally retarded …
A Study Of Figural After-Effects In The Inverted-“T”-Illusion, Wayne H. Bartz
A Study Of Figural After-Effects In The Inverted-“T”-Illusion, Wayne H. Bartz
Masters Theses
Introduction
The term figural after-effect refers to the spatial displacement of a visual figure induced by the inspection of a prior figure. In the figural after-effect paradigm, an observer fixates on a figure called the inspection figure for some time. Fixation is then shifted to a test figure. Any spatial displacement in the test (second) figure is termed the figural after-effect. Generally, maximal figural after-effects are attained with 60 second inspection followed immediately by short test figure exposure (Hammer, 1949; Graham, 1951; Krauskopf, 1954; Parducci and Brookshire, 1956; Sagara and Oyama, 1957; and Kohler and Wallach, 1944). This study is …
Constant X Of The Alcoholic Personality, Jean Carpenter
Constant X Of The Alcoholic Personality, Jean Carpenter
Masters Theses
Chapter I
Introduction
The problem of alcoholism is one of the oldest problems in the history of mankind. Today it ranks world-wide as a major public health problem. Yet, constructive study and research on the subject did not gain much momentum until about 1935.
With the organization of Alcoholism Anonymous in 1935, the awareness of the problem spread, fanwise, throughout the fields of religion, medicine, and psychiatry. Alcohol had once presented a baffling and seemingly unanswerable enigma. But now there was a glimmering of hope in each of these separate fields that the answers might lie within its own particular …
Change In Selected Sensitive Psychological Areas Of The Only Child When A Sibling Is Born, Eveline H. Loewe
Change In Selected Sensitive Psychological Areas Of The Only Child When A Sibling Is Born, Eveline H. Loewe
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
A study was undertaken to see if, through the use of story projective fables, data could be obtained about the change in selected sensitive psychological areas of an only child when a sibling is born.
Projective stories from the Fine Revision of the Despert Fables were used to form brief tests of the sensitive psychological areas of parental rejection/sibling rivalry, dependency and aggression/hostility. These test were given, both before and six weeks after the birth of a sibling, to fifty children from families in the Santa Clara Valley. Criteria used in selecting the children limited the subjects to those who …

A Study Of Important Stimuli In The Lives Of Men With Lung Cancer, Landon Crocker Peoples
A Study Of Important Stimuli In The Lives Of Men With Lung Cancer, Landon Crocker Peoples
Doctoral Dissertations
(From the Introduction)
Except in specified instances where the etiology is known, the growth of cancerous tissue in humans is an unsolved problem (Cutler 1954). Most of the investigations in this area have been medical, physiological, or biochemical. There are, however, enough studies of a psychological nature (to be cited in a later section), with sufficiently intriguing results, to warrant further research into the possibility of a relationship between psychological variables and the incidence of human cancer. The present study is concerned with this relationship.
An Analysis Of Existential Psychology, Arthur Erwin Wolfgarth
An Analysis Of Existential Psychology, Arthur Erwin Wolfgarth
Student Work
The purpose of this thesis is to trace the thread of existential psychological thought from its first systematic statements in Denmark through its expansion in Europe to its influence in contemporary thought in the United States. This study begins with Søren Kierkegaard who cast existential expression into molds that have not broken to the present day. The study then primarily concerns Jean-Paul Sartre who expanded Kierkegaard’s germinal concepts into a theoretical psychology. From Sartre the thread is followed to the United States in the writings of Erich Fromm, Rollo May, and Carl Rogers. Existential theoretical psychology develops a psychoanalytical approach, …

Methods To Control Small Cerebral Destructions That Will Produce Transfers In Handedness In The Rat, Ronda Fink Hunter
Psychology ETDs
The object of this investigation was to answer the following questions: (1) Which layers of the cortex are involved in all transfers regardless of the method of destruction?; (2) Is there any advantage in producing a destruction which leaves the upper layers of the cortex intact?; (3) Which method of destruction allows more control of size of destruction?; (4) Does electrical stimulation contribute to localizing the region controlling the function of handedness?; (5) Do ambidextrous rats transfer with significantly smaller destructions than single handed rats?; (6) Are there significant differences between methods with respect to size or effect of destruction …
The Teaching Machine As A Study Aid At The College Level, John R. Cragun
The Teaching Machine As A Study Aid At The College Level, John R. Cragun
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
One of the most interesting and challenging problems to confront those interested in the learning process in recent years is the entire area of the self-instructional device, or "teaching machine." The idea of the teaching machine is not new, for Pressey (49) in 1926 wrote concerning a device he had developed, and at the same time indicated that he had had such a device in mind for "a number of years." After this introduction by Pressey, the teaching machine movement lay dormant for several years with only an occasional article written that had any direct relationship to this area. This …
An Investigation Of The Horizontal-Vertical Illusion, Frederick J. Boersma
An Investigation Of The Horizontal-Vertical Illusion, Frederick J. Boersma
Masters Theses
Experimenters have used the inverted "T" to illustrate the horizontal-vertical illusion for many years. This illusion is characterized by the subject perceiving the horizontal line as shorter than the vertical line.
Credit is usually given to Fick (1851) for being first to call attention to the discrepancy between horizontal and vertical estimates. He demonstrated this by visually noticing that a bright square on a dark background looks like an oblong object. Hicks (1906) stated that Oppel was the first person to actually investigate the horizontal-vertical illusion.
The classical theory generally states that an equal length vertical line in a "T" …

More specifically, the studies focus upon the effects of changes in the quality of the reinforcing stimulus in relation to differing reinforcement schedules.
Fingerpainting As A Psychodiagnostic Tool With Mentally Retarded Emotionally Disturbed Children, Beverly G. Knox
Fingerpainting As A Psychodiagnostic Tool With Mentally Retarded Emotionally Disturbed Children, Beverly G. Knox
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
Finger painting indicates potential for consideration as a diagnostic tool in view of its particular plasticity and effectiveness with all ages, cultures and most handicaps. There is, however, confusion in the method of administration, the amount of structure to provide during the painting process, and the observational points significant in providing useful evaluative material. Those various methods include: (1) An extensive systematized checklist for observation in a highly structured setting; (2) a more permissive atmosphere with suggested significant characteristics inherent in the finger painting task which should be clinically observed, and (3) a more recently developed objective ratings scale for …
