Developmental Processes in Discrimination Learning
A review of the discrimination-learning behavior of children indicates that two general theoretical orientations have been mainly responsible for guiding recent research, the mediational-attention conception, and a coordinated single-unit and mediational S-R formulation. Results from discrimination-shift studies are analyzed in terms of these two models and the influence on discrimination learning of verbal labels and other forms of symbolic repr…
Cross-Sectional Research, Longitudinal Theory, and a Discriminative Transfer Ontogeny
This review argues that an hypothesis about longitudinal development may be derived from, and tested exclusively by, cross-sectional data, when the potential sources of interpretive errors are dealt with adequately. The argument is illustrated by using an array of cross-sectional data to validate the hypothesis, important to developmental mediation theory, that the probability of reversal and intradimensional shifts may be described as a logarith…
A woman's struggle in academic psychology (1936-2001)
Tracy S. Kendler's strong desire to get a college education had to overcome economic hardships of the Great Depression and a mother's conviction that finding a suitable husband was more important. Solomon Asch at Brooklyn College, by scholarly example, encouraged her to seek a career in psychology. At the University of Iowa she studied with both Kurt Lewin and Kenneth Spence and finally opted to conduct a research program, ultimately on cognitive…
Subproblem learning
Lower level encoding
World views and the concept of development
The cognitive-developmental basis of human learning
Optional reversal probability is a linear function of the log of age
[Definitely, our last word]
An Ontogeny of Optional Shift Behavior
Reversal-shift behavior
Developmental analysis of reversal and half-reversal shifts
Selective attention versus mediation
Contributions of the psychologist to constitutional law
A rather new type of psychological work is seen in acquainting the Court with certain scientific data collected from authoritative sources. There appears to be an increasing willingness on the part of the Court to accept data for consideration which are essentially derived from the study of psychology, social science, and related disciplines. Two illustrative cases are cited in detail: (1) The issue of bilingualism in Hawaii, (2) the issue of rac…
