The present study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that aggressive offenders have a greater amount of theta activity in their electrocortical rhythms than nonaggressive offenders, and also to examine the more general question of whether such individuals are cortically underaroused, underreactive, or more easily dearoused.

Twenty overweight and 20 normal weight women underwent habituation, classical conditioning, and extinction of the galvanic skin response. (Editor)

An attempt was made to uncover dysfunctions in any of the mechanisms in selective attention, as well as any unusual allocation policy, which possibly exist in schizophrenia. (Author/RK)

A model for inferential accuracy in clinical judgments was proposed in which two major processes, sensitivity and threshold, was hypothesized. (Editor/RK)

Examines auditory speech discrimination under the conditions of normal, inverted, and postinverted vision. Its intention was also to further study the generality of the effects of inversion-induced conflict. (Author/RK)

An attempt was made to attenuate the severe anterograde amnesia of a patient with Korsakoff's Psychosis through the imposition of cues to assist memory. (Editor)

The purpose of the present experiment was to answer the question of whether patients labeled high or low in "ego-strength" differentially responded to scenes designed either to elicit anxiety or produce little (neutral) affect. (Editor)

Explores the association between the relatively passive, sitting meditation and absorption and anxiety using a cross-sectional design. (Author/RK)

Examines certain theoretical explanations of attention disorders in chronic nonparanoid schizophrenics that have been presented by several authors in the context of interference theory. Attempts to clarify divergencies in their theoretical assumptions by replicating and extending their research findings. (Author/RK)

Data replicate and extend research on differences in physiological patterning between psychopaths and control subjects and provide new information on patterning with instructions and learned specificity with biofeedback. (Author/RK)

The present experiment extended the research on the relation between language and physiology. Among the topics considered was the relation between physiological responses produced by subjects and the number of words they use in an oral presentation. (Author/RK)

Levitz and Ullmann's research (1969) was replicated, based on the findings that normal subjects can increase their number of uncommon associations in response to instructions and reinforcement. Results show that normals change their responses by means of an editing process and suggests this response is a "symptom" of normal flexibility rather than…

Builds upon earlier experiments in an attempt to measure the interferences between simultaneous tasks and the effects of hypnotic dissociation in increasing or decreasing this interference, thus testing the validity of one or the other of two theoretical models. (Author/RK)

The process of short-term memory scanning and recognition of common English words in 16 schizophrenics, 16 nonschizophrenic psychiatric patients, and 16 normals was investigated using the Sternberg item recognition procedure. This procedure has proved effective in isolating and clarifying the processes underlying mnemonic information processing.…

Assesses the effects of input and output interference on schizophrenic recall. Input interference is the interference resulting from the interpolation of items between presentation and recall of the probed item. Output interference is the interference resulting from the interpolation of responses between the presentation and recall of the probed…
