Two comparisons of recognition and recall by signal detection measures
Two experiments are reported which applied signal detection measures to recall and compared them with similar measures of recognition. In both experiments there were more correct responses in recognition but also more false ones. As a result, the signal detection measure of discrimination d' was closely similar for both recognition and recall. The difference between recognition and recall could be accounted for by a more stringent criterion for r…
Social Skill and Social Class
Skill is conceived as the use of efficient strategies for using capacities to meet the demands of tasks or situations. The modern concept of social skill arose in the early 1960s from application of the concepts of skill in studies of man-machine interactions, to those between persons. Since then, substantial research has been done developing the concept and applying it to industrial and clinical problems. The present paper outlines a possible ap…
On the nature of higher‐order skills
Skill is discussed in terms of efficient ‘strategies’ for relating demands of jobs to human physical and mental capacities. Strategies differ between individuals and within individuals on different occasions. Also, for most normal tasks, not one but several strategies are employed to map different aspects of demand on to corresponding capacities, performance being limited by the capacity most fully used. Strategies tend to be organized hierarchic…
Thirty years of psychological research on age and work
The history is sketched of research on industrial gerontology in Britain from 1946 onwards, and viewed in relation to gerontological research in other countries and to the social needs current in the 1950s. The individual studies were closely integrated with fundamental gerontological research, and were both guided by and helped to formulate leading theoretical ideas. These are briefly discussed under six heads: the central locus of the most impo…
