Male and female nonparent adults rated tape-recordings of initial, middle, and final 10-second segments of pain and hunger cries on four 7-point Likert-type scale items describing how urgent, arousing, aversive, and sick cry segments sounded.

An experiment on 15 dyslexic and 23 carefully matched control subjects (10- to 12-year-old males), examining their ability to maintain standing posture with eyes open and closed and with standard and tandem foot placement, revealed no differences under any condition tested and no differences in use of visual information to maintain their posture.…

Most psychotherapists hold preconceptions about what it could be like to deliver services using distance technology. Reactions to distance technology in counseling have been governed by guesses rather then by experience or research. However, a recent teletherapy project has provided insight into how remote systems of treatment actually are…

Forgetting, as defined by Piaget as Stage IV error, was studied in infants. Results partially support Piaget's hypothesis. (ST)

A total of 43 infants were subjected to increasing intensities of a tactile stimulation (air puffs) until a behavioral response occured. All infants displayed increased heart rate responses at threshold. (ST)
