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)

Twenty-six subjects were exposed to a period of noxious stimulation and subsequently performed a task that incidentally involved learning to avoid one of two types of punishment, electric shock and monetary loss. Results support Lykken's theory of the development of sociopathic behavior and Aronfreed's more general conceptualization of aversive…

This research examines separately the cognitive and pharmacological effects of alcohol by manipulating subjects' expectancies. It was found that although alcohol is a pharmacologic sedative and reduces anxiety, the cognition that one is drinking alcohol increases anxiety. (Editor/RK)

A common pool of schizophrenic subjects was subdivided and analyzed three separate times on the basis of three sets of criteria: paranoid versus nonparanoid, neurologically normal versus neurologically abnormal, and long-term institutionalization versus short-term institutionalization. Differences in ability levels and patterns were determined for…

Elderly depressives sometimes perform as badly as patients with dementia on tests of memory. It was hypothesized that this might be because depressives adopt a very conservative response strategy rather than because their memory is really impaired. (Editor)

Attempts to determine whether PI (proactive inhibition) release for taxonomic word categories could be observed for chronic schizophrenics. (Author/RK)

Human responses to the Rorschach were analyzed according to developmental principles of differentiation, articulation, and integration in a longitudinal study of normal development (ages 11-12, 13-14, 17-18, and 30) and in a sample of adolescent and young adult inpatients. (Editor)

A total of 36 susceptible and 36 insusceptible subjects were tested to examine the effect of markedly contrasting styles of interpersonal orientation of the hypnotist on responsiveness in the hypnotic situation. (Editor)

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 present study examined the "person versus situation" controversy regarding the contribution to variance of behavior in real-life environments of 34 severely disabled psychiatric patients, using reliable and valid observational assessment of both patient behavior and dimensions of situations. (Editor/RK)

Two experiments offered data relevant to the hypothesis that schizophrenic retrieval is inferior because schizophrenics fail at the time of list presentation to encode adequately to-be-remembered material. (Author/RK)

The purpose of the present investigation was to study the frequency and type of negative responses (as defined by Zaslow) in children diagnosed as autistic, behavior-disturbed, and normal to verbal and nonverbal requests for verbal and nonverbal responses. (Author)

The primary thrust of the present experiment was to examine the relative learning rate or capacity of hyperactive children on a laboratory learning task involving concept learning. (Author/RK)

Using Schachter's theory of emotion as a starting point, two predictions regarding the interaction of alcohol consumed in social and solitary situations were tested experimentally. (Editor)

The present experiment examined the effectiveness of covert modeling and the influence of favorable consequences following model behavior in increasing assertive skills. (Author)
