  • The Effects of Play on Mathematical Concept Formation

    Open AccessJ ZAMMARELLI, Joseph Elliott Zammarelli et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Educational…1977

    S ummary . The aim of the study was to assess the effects of a previous play experience on a test of concept formation involving base four arithmetic. Twenty‐four children from 10 to 12 years of age were divided into three groups of eight subjects each, matched on teachers' ratings of mathematical ability. A concept formation task was given as an initial measure of ability. Members of group one were permitted total autonomy as to which buttons th…

    A Semantic Differential test was administered to 175 men serving determinate sentences of 10 years and above or indeterminate sentences in prisons through out England in order to assess attitudes to concepts selected either because of their relevance to the experience of imprisonment or because of their general importance. The sample was divided into four groups, matched for age but differing in mean total lengths of accumulated imprisonment expe…

  • Psychological Correlates of Long-Term Imprisonment

    Ken Heskin, K J HESKIN et al.ARTICLEThe British Journal of Criminology1973

    have reported differences on both cognitive and personality variables between groups of long-term prisoners who have served varying lengths of time in prison. The evidence suggested that the differences noted were due to the effects of imprisonment per se rather than to selection procedures for parole. This study is concerned with the question of how prisoners ' attitudes to various relevant concepts are affected by the experience of imprisonment…

  • Selecting Creativity Tests for Use in Research

    Open AccessDavid J Hargreaves, N BoltonARTICLEBritish Journal of Psychology1972Cited by: 2

    This study looks at the problem of creativity tost selection by examining the relationships between 15 divergent and non-divergent tests. This practical problem raises two main theoretical issues: whether 'creativity' is a unitary dimension across and within tests, and what relationship this range of abilities bears to IQ. A secondary aim is to evaluate four new tests by comparison with the 11 others. The tests were administered, along with two I…

  • Type of Mathematics Teaching, Mathematical Ability and Divergent Thinking in Junior School Children

    Open AccessPhyllis Richards, P N RICHARDS et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Educational…1971

    S ummary . Tests of intelligence, mathematical ability, divergent thinking and attitudes to school subjects were administered to a sample of 265 children in their final year at three junior schools. The three groups were matched for social class, intelligence and time devoted to mathematics teaching, the chief difference between them being that in one school (School C) mathematics was taught by a discovery approach, in another school (B) by tradi…
