Pattern of results is discussed in terms of the conceptualization that imitation required both that the observer (1) has acquired and retained the model's responses and (2) has been placed in circumstances which favor activating this learning into overt performance. (Authors)

Results suggest an age effect in which academic success at primary school is linked to stable extraversion, while success at university is associated with introversion. (Author)

As a result of the findings in the present study it seems reasonable to suggest that verbal ability tests (including reading tests) be used as screening devices for entering adult students. (Authors)

The similarity match took longer than the identity match, and the difference in latency increased as the number of lines in the pattern increased. (Author)

Imagery instructions facilitated the performance of sixth-, but not third-graders. (Authors)

The School of Allied Medical Professions at The Ohio State University has developed job descriptions in occupational therapy, and is in the process of developing curriculum guides to educate for performance in these job descriptions. (Authors)

Results supported the hypotheses that the emphasis on speed: (a) has a detrimental effect on the performance, (b) is inherent in a test-like situation, and (c) can be reduced by emphasizing in the instructions to Ss the detrimental effects of speed on the achievement of solution. (Author/CB)

Article reports on the testing of several diagnostic measures and a determination of what kinds of instructional groupings produce the most effective results in working with perceptive problems among kindergarten children. (Editor/MB)

Outerdirectedness has been defined by first author and his colleagues as a style of problem solving characterized by reliance on concrete situational cues rather than by active attempts to deduce abstract relationships. (Authors/MB)

The theoretical expectations of duality of attitude structure and comparative lack of bipolarity have now been found using both R and Q methodologies. (Author)

Prediction was not supported that responses followed by positive or negative social consequences would immediately be repeated or changed, respectively. (Author/MB)

It was hypothesized that individuals who can easily detect differences in the timbre of tone would be more likely to appreciate musical instruments with more complex sound waves, and that the degree of this tendency would be directly proportional to the length of time one has played the instrument.

Study is concerned with the commonalities between the development of skill and the development of problem solving. (Authors)
