Alternative Schemes for the Analysis off Basic Versus Applied Science
Hoffman and Deffenbacher (1993) presented a multidimensional scheme for analyzing the relations of basic and applied science, reliant on concepts from ecological psychology. In his commentary, Vicente (1994) argued, among other things, that the scheme can profitably be simplified. Although we are sympathetic to Vicente's viewpoint and some of his goals, differences between Vicente's prescriptive purposes (the transformation of traditional human f…
An Analysis of the Relations Between Basic and Applied Psychology
While pondering the question What is modern applied cognitive psychology? we encountered a set of issues that are difficult to tackle, simply because the available characterizations of the relations of so-called basic and applied science are inade- quate to the task of describing the full variety of factors involved. Here, we present a descriptive scheme that extends Brunswik's (1955, 1956) notions of ecological validity and representativeness. T…

Experimental psychology actually can assist triers of fact
Experimental psychology actually can assist triers of fact
Forgotten mnemonists
Despite recent interest in persons with unusually good memories, several experimental studies from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries remain largely ignored. These include studies both of persons using methods similar to the classical art of memory and others, mental calculators, at least one of whom showed supranormal memory capacity for other items as well as numbers. This paper reviews these studies, particularly ones by Binet, …
Developmental changes in probability learning as related to cue validity and sign
An application of Brunswik's lens model to developmental changes in probability learning
An Extension of Four Single-Cue Process Models to Conjunctive Concept Learning
A family of 4 different process models of single-cue concept learning was extended to 2-category conjunctive concept learning. The fit of these 4 extended models to data from 120 Ss solving conjunctive problems over a wide range of stimulus complexity was assessed. None of the models did a thoroughly satisfactory job of fitting the data over all levels of stimulus complexity. Possible reasons for this lack of fit were discussed
