Bordering the Future
The differences between the United States and Mexico may be immense, but their links—economic, political, and social—are profound, and growing stronger. In this incisive narrative, John Adams argues that Mexico, with which the United States shares a 1,951 mile border, is no sideshow but a pivotal component of American economic health and regional security. The primary theme that runs throughout this book is that Mexico has historically had, and w…

Historical review and appraisal of research on the learning, retention, and transfer of human motor skills
Historical review and appraisal of research on the learning, retention, and transfer of human motor skills
This review of human motor skills is historical and critical, and starts about 100 years ago. Three historical periods are identified. The main topics are knowledge of results, distribution of practice, transfer of training, retention, and individual differences in motor learning. Basic research is emphasized, but applied research is included also. The article concludes with projections for the future that are based on past research and the prese…

Aggression and Hypoglycemia in the Andes
In a Stirling-award winning article, Ralph Bolton offered a psychophysiological explanation for the notorious levels of aggression among the "Qolla" (Quechua and Aymara) Indians of the Peruvian altiplano. The long-standing anthropological characterization of these peasants as pathologically aggressive was supported by Bolton's finding that the community of Incawatana had one of the highest murder rates on record. He hypothesized that mild hypogly…
Research and the future of engineering psychology
The vigor of engineering psychology as an applied discipline in engineering and psychology is dependent upon the robustness of the scientific knowledge that it applies to the design of man-machine systems. As a field, engineering psychology mostly has its practitioners applying knowledge and comparatively few generating new knowledge, with the result that the capability for system innovation is not as strong as it should be. Project Hindsight of …
Response feedback and learning
Mediation and Forgetting
An experiment was performed to test the hypothesis that the presence of mediation can reduce verbal forgetting. During original learning experimental groups acquired two classes of multiple mediators that intervened between the stimulus and response members of a paired-associate list (A-C). An AB-BC-AC paradigm was used for experimental groups. Control groups did not have the mediators and simply learned the A-C list. All groups recalled the A-C …
