Changing Stances on Abortion During Case-Based Reasoning Tasks
College students who supported opposing positions on abortion were asked to state their reasons for and against their own position as well as their reason for and against the opposition. Students then served as judges on 4 cases in which women were seeking an abortion. The circumstances motivating a woman varied across the 4 cases. Case information either challenged or supported prototypic assumptions and beliefs that underlie a prolife or procho…
The Origins and Nature of Arguments
The emergence and development of argumentation skills in interpersonal conflict situations are the focus of this study. The mental structures used to understand arguments are related to those used to understand social conflict and goal-directed action. The desire to maintain or dissolve a relationship, to persuade, and to understand a position operate throughout interpersonal arguments. The ability to understand an argument is claimed to emerge e…

Agreement between parent and child concerning how the child felt varied as a function of emotion. Children agreed with their parents' emotion attributions most often for events that parents …

Democracy in Latin America
The Construction of Democracy in Nicaragua
This article, written in 1989, goes to press immediately following the 1990 election-Nicaragua's second such election; the 1989-1990 campaign itself is not covered in detail.

In the words of P…

The effects of organization and instructional set on story memory∗
The goal of this study was to validate a set of predictions about story memory, derived from our story grammar approach to comprehension. The grammar describes the higher order structures regulating the organization and retrieval of incoming story information. These structures, defined by a basic set of rewrite rules, specify the types of information which should occur in stories and the types of logical relations which should connect story compo…
