Aristotle's Philosophy of Biology
This excellent book provides great insights to those who are Aristotle scholars as well as to those who have only a casual acquaintance with his works. It reveals how Aristotle's philosophical system produced a coherent approach to the study of living things that is still deeply relevant, and provides a comprehensive and detailed account of how his philosophy of science furnishes a theoretical structure for the generation of disciplined inquiry a…
Prior experience and patterning in a prisoner's dilemma game
Prior experience and patterning in a prisoner's dilemma game
Female college students first played a pseudo-prisoner's dilemma (PPD) game with the experimenter, who followed a fixed strategy. In the first experiment the experimenter's strategies for different groups of subjects were: (a) play tit-for-tat; (b) play randomly; (c) always cooperate; (d) always defect (‘cooperation’ and ‘defection’, defined as in an actual prisoner's dilemma game). Only the tit-for-tat group increased cooperation over trials; ot…
An Aristotelian resolution of the idiographic versus nomothetic tension
The 20th century clash between psychologies that emphasize individual differences and those that emphasize general processes grows out of an older philosophical tension between the particular and universal facets of substance. Properly understood, Aristotle's analysis resolves this tension in a way that allows psychology to unify these perspectives on human functioning within a single focus. The key concept used is that of the developmental funct…

Auditory Prompting in Assessing Availability of Responses in Recall
A measurement procedure was described for assessing response-availability in a quantitatively continuous fashion, based upon the use of auditory prompts and the assumption that the greater the amplitude of prompting required the less available is the response. Experimental data showed the signal-to-noise ratio of auditory prompts required for recall was inversely related to the number of practice trials. Those items which Ss never correctly antic…

Acquired Word Value, Verbal Learning and Retention
Color photographs, previously rated either as very pleasant or as indifferent, were learned as responses to nonsense syllables. Ss used their own labels for photographs for responding. Next these syllables were learned as responses to two-digit numbers. Syllable-recall was tested either immediately or after 7 days. Pleasantly-paired syllables were learned faster than those indifferently paired. This difference was partly attributed to faster lear…
The "grubo" psychology
Seeks to rebut the argument implicitly advanced by Razran that "brain behavior conditioning" is the only complete approach to behavior theory. It is felt that such a rebuttal is needed because the pendulum again has begun to swing toward physiologizing in psychology. It is argued that: (1) the problems of psychology and physiology are often not the same, having different historical origins, and consequently the types of explanation for behavior t…
Acquired Word Value and Verbal Learning
This experiment tested the hypothesis that pairing nonsense syllables with pleasant photographs would make them more learnable subsequently than would pairing them with indifferent photographs. Ss were shown syllable-photograph pairs and instructed to learn their own labels for the photographs as responses to the syllables. Half the photographs were “very pleasant” and half were “indifferent.” Next, the same syllables were made responses to 2-dig…
