Psychological Response to Later Life Widowhood
The study examined the effects of psychological response and gender on coping with late life widowhood. Forty-six men and 46 women (55 years +) were interviewed about their experiences of widowhood. Participants were classified as to whether they were coping well or less well. Data were analyzed using grounded theory, content analysis, and three-way loglinear analyses. Loglinear analyses revealed three-way interactions for Gender, Coping, and Res…
Anxiety and errors of prospective memory among elderly people
Understanding the relationship between age and prospective memory may be increased by studying the distribution and constituents of incorrect responses. Failure to perform the right activity at the right time may manifest itself as an ‘error of omission’, in which no response is made at the critical moment, or an ‘error of commission’, in which the intended action is replaced by a related one. These may, in turn, result from breakdown of encoding…

Spelling as a source of information about children's linguistic knowledge
Two studies of English speakers' understanding of the English spelling system are discussed. The first study is Groat's (1979) investigation of seven-year-old children's ability to assign stress appropriately to two-syllable nonsense words embedded in otherwise normal sentences. This work is compared with an earlier study of university students' performance on a similar task (Smith & Baker, 1976) and suggests that seven-year-olds are as sophistic…
A Psycholinguistic Study of English Stress Assignment Rules
Two studies of stress assignment rules are reported. In both studies speakers found to base their pronunciations partly on general rules and partly on comparisons with particular English words: word length, syntactic category and position of primary stress all influenced performance. In the second study, the distinctions between pronounced polysyllabic nonsense words, and similarity to real English words, as well as phonemic and syntactic structu…
