Two competing hypotheses were tested: (1) that judgments are derived from the same knowledge base that is thought to be the source of perceptual impressions of forces that occur with visual stimuli, and (2) that…

The speech products of 104 young adult Melbourne males were analyzed in order to determine whether the linguistic dimensions of the speech product bear a necessary relationship to the cognitive dimensions. (Editor)

This study attempted to vary experimentally cognitive organization, salience of the interrelationships among beliefs, and time of opinion measurement in order to study the effects on opinion change." (Author)

Multinomial modeling--a methodology that can be used to measure and study cognitive processes--is discussed, and applications are presented. This statistically based technique involves estimating hypothetical parameters that represent the probabilities of unobservable cognitive events and is compatible with computational theories of cognition.…

The purpose of this study was to empirically test a set of predictions implied by the Model of Conceptual Learning and Development using the concept of cutting tool. Four subtests were developed to assess a subject's ability to perform at each of four successive levels of concept attainment (concrete, identity, classificatory and formal). In…
