The workshop described here was designed to initiate skeptical school personnel to a form of sensitivity training, the T-group approach, while providing a safe and non-threatening atmosphere of exposure. (Authors)

Previous studies have shown that retesting of groups of subnormal pupils does not lead to significant increases in the mean IQ; this present study confirms this for non-immigrant pupils. In contrast, however, there is a significant rise in the mean IQ of a group of immigrants. (Author)

Results clearly demonstrated the existence of perceptual sets in children under 4 years. The interpretation of findings suggests a process whereby the present method was successful in creating the mediating conditions necessary for a perceptual set. (Authors)

The performance of the older subjects (10 years and up) was facilitated by the organizational cues, whereas that of younger subjects was not. (Author)

Results of the present study confirm the importance of the contingency variable in experiments dealing with the effect of supportive comment upon children's performance. (Author)

The educational implications discussed emphasized the efficacy of adapting feedback to the individual student. (Author)

Data showed that consistent punishment resulted in faster inhibition than inconsistent punishment; subjects who were punished showed less persistence than subjects placed on an extinction schedule. (Authors)

Socioeconomic factors which differentiate social-class groups vastly overshadow any within-family treatment factors that might affect intellectual growth. (Authors)

Although past experience may operate to produce an initial increase in undesired behaviors during behavior modification procedures, the data of the present study demonstrate that these behaviors will decrease if the model is not abandoned at the point when the behavior appears to be getting worse rather than better.

Results supported the hypothesis that 12 year olds are more willing to lie for a peer who previously helped them than are 8 year old. (Author)

The prediction was confirmed that young children would experience more difficulty in learning to discriminate faces of another race than those of their own. Additional findings revealed that discrimination-learning performance with racial stimuli is related to a number of factors including developmental level, race of the subject, and race of the…

Several skills important to successful learning by discovery were found to be less essential to successful learning by rule. Results also supported the hypothesis that the outcome of discovery is the structural integration of previously known concepts, while the outcome of rule learning is the addition of new structure.

Study failed to yield evidence that performance in a systematic-concept task can be significantly facilitated, in comparison with rote-task performance, if more time is allowed for the operation of what Metzger has called systematic concept formation. (Authors)

It was concluded that drawing rules are essential and that adequate visual analysis is a necessary but not sufficient prerequisite to the production of accurate copies. (Author)

The present paper called attention to the difference between discrimination among individuals and discrimination among groups and suggested that the intraclass correlation coefficient should be used in the process of item selection whenever one is interested in discrimination among groups. (Author)
