The Bell Curve and the New Social Darwinism
Disaster Study of War
In the first part of this article I argue that war should be considered as a disaster. A brief historical review of the relationship of the field of disaster studies to military concerns is presented in an effort to demonstrate that, in fact, war has been a familiar subject in the field. I then consider definitions of disaster and conclude that war is easily accommodated by them. In the main section of the article I attempt to uncover distinctive…
Minority Group
This paper traces the process by which the term minority group was derived from its predecessor, national minority, and came to be used as a general term for all groups subjected to prejudice and discrimination. The historical context in which the evolution of the term occurred was shaped by political factors with both domestic and international aspects that influenced the choice of the term. I discuss the conceptual shortcomings of the term, sho…
Diminished Responsivity on a Passive Avoidance Task to Second Administration of Scopolamine
Rats were given two training sessions, separated by intervals of 1, 3, or 6 days, on a passive avoidance task. For each training interval, control groups receiving saline and experimental groups receiving scopolamine prior to both sessions were run. Although scopolamine impaired acquisition of the task, the drugged groups displayed a marked improvement in performance on the second day of training. The data suggest, however, that the degree of beh…
Effect of Bilateral Spreading Depression and Scopolamine on Motor Activity in Rats
Rats ( N = 40) were surgically prepared to receive bilateral cortical spreading depression. Approximately 24 hr. postoperatively their level of motor activity was measured after administration of scopolamine or saline in the presence or absence of spreading depression (2 × 2 design). Although the data seemed to reflect a slight activating effect of scopolamine, they clearly indicated a significant depressant effect of spreading depression on moto…
