Synthesis of model compounds related to the tetranortriterpenes
(1971)In this thesis some preliminary studies have been described, which were aimed at the synthesis of compounds in which a 3-substituted furan is attached to a 6-lactone ring so as to yield structures of the type observed ... -
Personal space: the relationship to mode of field approach
(1972)The literature pertaining to personal space and field-dependency is ambiguous with reference to the nature of the relationship between these two variables. The present study proposed to explore the possible relationship ... -
Theories of employment and developing economies
(1972)"Theories of employment and developing economies" is an attempt to prove that the existing employment theories are not applicable to developing countries, and to propound a wage-goods gap theory as a suitable alternative ... -
A comparison between traditional and open-area classrooms as to creativity
(1972)Children in grades three, four, and five, from an Open-area school, and children from similar grades in a Traditional setting were compared as to creativity. Twelve males, and twelve females were measured in each classroom. ... -
The role of repetition in free recall
(1972)Three experiments investigated the hypothetical processes of organization and frequency, which have been advanced to explain the repetition effect in multi-trial free recall learning. Each experiment examined recall over ... -
The effect of mode of presentation, stimulus concreteness, and verbalization on a paired-associates learning task
(1972)A 2x2x3x8 experimental design was used to investigate the effects of two levels of the concreteness dimension (i.e. concrete and abstract) of nouns; two levels of verbalization (i.e. verbalization and nonverbalization) and ... -
An investigation of the relationship between the occurrence of learning disabilities in children and the child rearing behaviors of their mothers: an exploratory study
(1972)The present study investigated the relationship between the occurrence of children's learning disabilities and the nature of the child rearing behaviors exhibited by their mothers. Seventy mothers and their children served ... -
The effect of size, value, and arrangement on perceived numerosity
(1972)Numerosity (perceived quantity) is shown in four experiments to vary with several factors: item-size, item-value, pattern size, and possibly the arrangement of items within patterns. -
The effect of anxiety, stress and type of task on problem solving performance
(1972)The present study examined the relationship between anxiety, stress, and the nature of the task. A total of 40 male and 60 female subjects were selected on the basis of their scores on two anxiety scales. Half of each group ... -
Amenable semigroups and ergodicity

Effects of postnatal experience on avoidance, shock sensitivity and open-field behavior of two selectively bred strains of rats
(1973)The effects of postnatal experience on avoidance, shock sensitivity, and open-field behavior were investigated in the Roman high avoidance (RHA/Lu) and the Roman low avoidance (RLA/Lu) selectively bred strains of rats. -
Qualitative differences in the effects of food and water on learned behavior
(1973)Experimental interest for the present research stemmed from the traditionally accepted notion that qualitatively different reinforcers, such as food and water, have similar effects on learning. The present investigation ... -
An investigation of the role of individual words in the comprehension of connected discourse
(1973)Two experiments exploring the role of individual words in reading comprehension are reported. In the first experiment one group of subjects processed text for comprehension and another attempted retention of text words. ... -
Effects of d-amphetamine sulfate and UCS-levels on one-way avoidance behaviour of two selectively bred strains of rat
(1973)Two experiments were carried out involving 40 animals of RHA/Lu and RLA/Lu strains in a one-way active avoidance situation. Subjects were tested for avoidance conditioning and activity with seven behavioural measurements ...
