Parsing and memorizing tonal and modal melodies 1
The role that style‐specific (form‐ and syntactic rules‐based) parsing strategies play in melodic memory was investigated. Two melodies of different styles, a tonal melody in the style of Western tonal music and a modal (Japanese traditional) melody, were used as materials. The results showed that: (i) musically experienced students who had years of experience playing pieces of Western tonal piano music could parse the tonal melody promptly and a…
Technology, Culture, and Adaptive Minds
Commentary
Based on research on out-of-school expertise in workplaces and hobby activities, this commentary attempts to reconceptualize school learning and suggest desirable changes in it. Two topics are discussed in relation to the contributions of this special issue: (a) aspects of research on expert-novice differences and processes of gaining expertise that can be applied to school learning readily and profitably, and (b) situational and individual deter…
The Constitution of General and Specific Mental Models of Other People
This article is about how novices become experts in the domain of piano playing, focusing on how they develop internalized models of other people, a form of culture in the mind. Six novice and nine junior expert college students were individually asked to practice a short piece of music; they were asked to verbalize what they thought during the exercise about the performance they were executing and how they planned to perform it after their pract…

Vocalization latencies of skilled and less skilled comprehenders for words written in hiragana and kanji
S Three experiments were conducted to examine whether vocalization latencies for Japanese words would be different between skilled and less skilled Japanese fifth‐grade readers. The experimental words were written in hiragana (syllabaries) or kanji (morphograms), two types of scripts in the Japanese writing system. The words consisted of six clusters: (a) real words transcribed in hiragana, involving no special syllables and involving special syl…

Mora or Syllable? Speech Segmentation in Japanese
Commentary
Contexts of Achievement
The major purpose of this study was to attempt to understand some of the reasons for the high academic achievement of Chinese and Japanese children compared to American children. The study was conducted with first and fifth graders attending elementary schools in the Minneapolis metropolitan area, Taipei (Taiwan), and Sendai (Japan). 1,440 children (240 first graders and 240 fifth graders in each city) were selected as target subjects in the stud…
Strategies for recognizing sentences among high and low critical thinkers
College students with high and low critical thinking ability, i. e., those who were good and those who were poor at judging the plausibility of inferences, were given a delayed sentence recognition task. High critical thinkers had a significantly higher false alarm rate for appropriate inferences, lower rates for neutral and inappropriate inferences, and a significantly more accurate recognition rate for sentences that expressed factual informati…
Effects of abacus learning on 3rd-graders' performance in paper-and-pencil tests of calculation
This study was aimed at investigating effects of after-school abacus learning on paper-and-pencil calculation. Two speeded tests of basic calculation, “power tests” of multi-digit addition, subtraction, open sentence problems and word problems involving addition and subtraction, and comprehension of the “trade” principle between columns were given to 110 3rd-graders, 53 of whom were learning abacus outside the school. The abacus learners (a) were…
Social and motivational bases for mathematical understanding
Encountering novel problems continuously, being encouraged to seek comprehension, freedom from urgent need for rewards, and dialogical interaction all aid mathematical understanding
Formation of a mental abacus for computation and its use as a memory device for digits
In order to examine whether representational changes in digit memory would be observed as a function of the extent of expertise in mental-abacus operation, five groups of operators, differing in extent of expertise (i.e., novices, lower intermediates, intermediates, junior experts, and experts), were required (a) to reproduce series of five digits either forward or backward as quickly as possible and (b) to perform a simple aural-verbal or visual…
The cognitive style differences in the use of latency and the number of errors as cues for inferring personality characteristics
Sixty-four reflective and 58 impulsive fifth-graders classified by Matching Familiar Figures Test were presented in a questionnaire four fictitious models, i. e., Reflective (Ref), Fast-Accurate (FA), Impulsive (Imp) and Slow-Inaccurate (SI) in this fixed order, whose performances on the test were described verbally (e.g., “ The child took a longer time than usual but made fewer errors.”) as well as numerically, and required to give ratings (1-5)…
Behavioral Differences Between Extraverts and Introverts in Betting Situations
Thirty extraverts and 30 introverts were presented pairs of stimuli, differing in two dimensions, required to make choices by betting one or two chip (s), and, when successful, were rewarded with twice the number of chips bet. They were told that two different prizing rules, one rewarding 80% of a specified characteristic and the other rewarding 40% of another specified characteristic, would be applied. Half the subjects were given a predominantl…
Amplification of Cognitive Motivation and Its Effects on Epistemic Observation
By direct observation, 203 fourth-graders confirmed the conservation of combined weights of sugar and water as measured before and after dissolving. Prior to this confirmation, experimental group subjects were required to choose one of three alternatives of a conservation problem and were presented with a fictitious choice response distribution with conflicting reasons. Control group subjects were given only the multiple-choice problem. Experimen…

An Experimental Education of Number Conservation
Number Ability Test, consisted of 6 items, was administered to 174 4- and 5-year-old children. The results showed the items were scalable (Green's I=.62), the most difficult being the item of conservation. 27 5-year-old children, who answered correctly except number conservation (NC), were selected as Ss and were divided into 3 groups. The following programs for an experimental education were applied one for each group: Repeated confirmation of i…
Equilibration and External Reinforcement in the Acquisition of Number Conservation
96 4-6 year-old children received number conservation training in 2 sessions over 2 successive days. The relative efficiency of 5 programs was investigated; there were 2 programs consisted of “practice in conflict situations without external reinforcement”, a similar program with reinforcement, direct training of number conservation, and mixed procedure with reinforcement. The 3 reinforced programs produced stable conservation response in about 3…
Subjective and Objective Cues in Moral Judgment
A questionnaire, consisting of 6 sets of questions concerning 3 wrongful acts, was constructed using the paradigm for concept learning and was administered to 2nd, 4th and 6th graders and female college students. Older respondents tended to be less consequence-(C-) oriented and more pure motive-(M-) oriented, though the college students became more consequentialistic when required to judge in terms of law-breaking instead of morality. In order to…
Training on Class Inclusion Problems
13 5-6-year-olds were trained on class inclusion problems as representative of tasks concerning the grasp of logical relations. Training program consisted mainly of presenting two classes having inclusive, mutually implicational or partly overlapping relation, asking their numerical comparison, asking whether or not AΛB and AΛB are empty, giving feedback and explanation, and, where indicated by S' response pattern, auxiliary training in double cl…
Classification of Sentences
In Exp. I, undergraduate students were asked to divide 8 short sentences into two groups of four in as many ways as they could. On the first trial, classification by meaning was the most frequent, but more Ss eventually classified sentences by pattern or subject than by meaning or adjective. These findings were successfully replicated by using different sets of sentences. In Exp. II, S was given a task of classification of sentences with feedback…
Production and Use of Mnemonic Phrases in Paired-Associate Learning with Digits as Response-Terms
Undergraduate students learned paired-associates, with names of shops as stimulus-terms and sets of 4 digits (“telephone numbers”) as response-terms. In Exp. I, Ss, by assigning one of several alternative pronunciations, or “readings,” to each digit, as permitted in modern Japanese, were quickly able to produce mnemonic words or phrases for about half the 20 pairs, and these devices greatly facilitated Ss' recall and recognition of the numbers. I…
Correlates of Induced Question-Asking Behavior
143 5th-graders were encouraged to write 2 questions for each of 8 stories involving incongruity (novelty, surprise, contradiction or perplexity). Questions were scored 1-5 according to the use of information in the story and relating it to prior knowledge. Combined scores of 2 questions were positively correlated with each other among stories (26 on the average). Only one significant factor, explaining 27% of variance, was extracted from the cor…
Recognition Memory for Logically Transformed Sentences
College students were aurally presented a set of 48 mutually unrelated sentences. After 60 sec, they received 1 of 6 recognition lists, each consisting of 48 sentences of which every one out of 6 was kept identical or transformed in 5 different ways; and they were required to judge whether each sentence was the same, formally as well as semantically, as any sentence that had been aurally given. The average proportions of “the same” responses were…
Reflection-Impulsivity in Perceptual and Conceptual Matching Tasks Among Kindergarten Children
In order to examine the generality of reflection-impulsivity, 51 5-6-year-olds were given, in addition to Kagan's MFF, a tactual-visual matching task (TVM) of geometric shapes and two conceptual matching tasks: Referential communication with inadequate message where the child as receiver had to ask questions to make a correct choice, and a revised version of Olson's conceptual pattern matching. Latency and error measures of MFF and TVM were all s…
