The development of hypothesis testing behaviour in children
(1973)This experiment investigated whether six, eight, and ten year-old children are capable of simultaneously using more than one hypothesis at a time, or whether children can test only one at a time in a discrimination learning ... -
The influence of set on the discriminability of letters
(1973)Four experiments were carried out to examine the effect of set on the discriminability of letters and words. Arrays were used containing two words and two nonwords, in which each word was identical in lettering to a nonword ... -
Electroconvulsive shock-induced amnesia: an investigation of the reinstatement effect
(1973)Three experiments were conducted to investigate the reinstatement effect, in which amnesia has been reported following the pairing of a noncontingent footshock and ECS. In experiment I the possibility that a FS-ECS combination ... -
Northwestern Ontario Indian childrens' [sic] scores on the WISC in relation to the normative population.
(1973)Because Indian children of Northwestern Ontario attend schools designed for children of white, North-American families, they are frequently given the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. This research was undertaken ... -
The relationship of leadership dimensions under conditions of stress
(1973)The present research examined the relationship between two leadership test, the Least-Preferred Co-Worker (LPC) scale and the Leadership Opinion Questionnaire (LOQ). The two instruments are claimed to measure two conceptually ... -

Some studies of dielectric relaxation
(1973)A general correlation function is firstly reviewed in line with Kubo's formulation (Chap. 1, (a)), and dielectric relaxation processes together with some fundamental properties are considered with the help of the function ... -
Luminescent response of phosphors and scintillators to ions with energies in the 0-100 KeV range
(1973)A survey of the ionoluminescence of a large number of ion-phosphor combinations under uniform conditions has been made. Powdered phosphors and scintillation crystals with different activators, different methods of surface ... -
Interpolation and quasi-interpolation using triangular splines
(1973)This thesis is a study of the applications of Regular Triangular Splines to the bivariate approximation problem. Our primary interest will concern the numerical approximation of functions in two variables, and implementation ... -
A survey and analysis of all books printed in England or in English abroad during the year 1584
(1974)The purpose of this thesis is to examine the extant books printed in England and in English abroad to discover their purpose, scope, limitations and range of interests and subject matter. As well, the purpose is to ascertain ... -
An investigation of the role of the amygdala in taste aversion learning
(1974)Contemporary theories of amygdaloid function postulate that the amygdala is involved in the association of events with aversive consequences or in the inhibition of responses. Experiment 1 investigated the possibility that ... -
Analgesic effects of acupuncture on the pain of ice water : a double blind study
(1974)Analgesic effects of acupuncture were demonstrated under double blind conditions. Thirty female subjects were randomly assigned to either an acupuncture condition, or one of two placebo conditions. Placebo 1 did not receive ... -
Community and conflict : a study of the working class and its relationships at the Canadian Lakehead, 1903-1913
(1974)Labour history is frequently equated with the internal workings of trade unions and radical parties in isolation from the society on which they are based. This paper treats these institutions as important, though not the ... -

Archetypes of the collective unconscious in three novels by John Steinbeck
(1974)The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the influence of work of Carl Gustav Jung on the fiction of John Steinbeck and to illustrate the value and appropriateness of Jung's psychology as a critical tool in explicating ... -
The response to frustration of physically fit and unfit individuals
(1974)Fifty-two male and 40 female undergraduates were tested for their levels of physical fitness as determined by predicted maximal oxygen uptake. By selecting the top and bottom ten subjects for each sex a fit and unfit group ...
