To test the tendency of subjects to perceptually organize discrete temporal patterns with regard to runs of identical stimulus events, spatiotemporal patterns of white noise were presented for reproduction. It is suggested that changes in runs of auditory patterns are perceptually analogous to changes in contours of visual patterns. (Editor/RK)

This research attempts to determine whether or not a relationship exists between personality variables and frequency with which specific-colored targets are hit.

From experiments showing that subjects differentially attend to parts of the visual field, psychologists have inferred a limitation on human visual information processing capacity. The model presented describes an optimal way to allocate a limited quantity of "cognitive resources", "attention" or "mental effort". An experiment tests this model.…

Evidence is reviewed which suggests that there may be little or no direct introspective access to higher order cognitive processes. It is proposed that when people attempt to report on their cognitive processes they do not do so on the basis of any true introspection. (Editor/RK)

Over time, the role definitions of novice school board members do not converge toward those of the administrators sampled, but rather toward those of experienced members. New board members are socialized in the preincumbency period rather than after they take office. (Author/IRT)

Perceptual decentering was examined in 30 nonretarded children, 30 educable mentally retarded (EMR) children equated for CA, and 30 EMR children equated for MA. (Author)

Involved a comparison between therapists with high client attrition rates versus therapists with low attrition rates on selected demographic and client-perceived initial-session therapy-process variables. A number of the therapy process variables significantly differentiated the two groups. (Author)

Verified the relationship between affective states and visual behavior in nonpsychotics. Elated individuals engaged in more total eye contact and had longer but less frequent eye-contact gazes than normals and depressed subjects had less total eye contact and had fewer eye-contact gazes than individuals in a neutral affective state.

Students' collection of divorce stories were the focus of this writing project. Sample stories are included. (HOD)

Examined the effects of rounded and unrounded vowels on the perception of the voiceless fricatives "s" and "sh" by adults and by young children who could and could not produce both sounds. Concluded that productive mastery is not critically responsible for perception of the distinction between the two phonemes or the…
