Thirty-one retarded Ss (average age ten years), homogeneous with respect to MA, CA, and IQ were grouped according to their nonegocentric, intermediate, or egocentric performance on a criterion role-taking task. (Author)

Investigated was the ability of 76 children (16 siblings of retarded children, 27 students in integrated and 33 students in segregated fifth grade classrooms) to take a retarded child's role. (CL)

The span of apprehension (a measure of the amount of information processed simultaneously from a brief visual display) was studied in two experiments involving 40 normal and learning disabled boys (ages 6-11 years). (Author/DLS)

It is argued in this paper that American blacks and whites use words and concepts which have the same apparent connotative meaning but not the same context. (Author/GC)

Reports a series of experiments that give evidence for retention of information about color in very short-term visual memory, commonly termed "iconic memory". (Author)

Relationships of job satisfaction and job productivity to work values of beginning workers who graduated from public vocational education programs were investigated. Workers with intrinsic work value orientation seem to be more satisfied with their job and are more productive than are those with extrinsic work value orientation. (Author)

Describes a study of certain professional functions and characteristics of financial aid directors in a metropolitan area as seen by themselves and the college or university presidents and deans. The close congruence of ratings is remarkable. (Author)

Two studies were conducted that explored observers' perceptions of responsibility of a victim for her involvement in a premeditated crime. Male and female college students listened to tapes of a purported victim describing a crime (either a rape or a mugging). There was general tendency toward a sympathetic reaction pattern. (Author)

The nature of environmental perception and the relationship between perceived environmental change and environmental action are analyzed through four dimensions of environmental experience: the environment as external object, as representation of self, as embodiment of value, and as arena for action. (Author/MA)

In a study involving the reading of bar graphs it was found that students in the control group (who did not receive generalization cues) did significantly better than those in the experimental group. (Ed.)

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate, in 21 severely hearing impaired children (9 to 12 years old), the relative effects of length of stimuli by closed set identification tasks. (Author/SBH)

Sense of direction was studied as a verbal expression of people's estimation of their own spatial orientation ability, rather than as a special mental faculty. Relates sense of direction to cognitive ability and to self concept. (Editor/RK)

Investigations of the relation between judged length and measured length have concentrated on determining the form of the psychophysical function. The process by which the observer arrives at his judgment has not been described. An exploratory experiment was carried out in an attempt to identify the process. (Author)

A model was proposed as an alternative to current models for categorical perception, which refers to the apparent responding to stimuli only in absolute terms. The model proposed that a single (common) factor causes both a peak in the discrimination function and a categorical dichotomy and thus the correlation between the two. (Editor/RK)
