The Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test
Massey (1951) provided tables the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test of goodness of fir any specified function. He pointed out that more conservative values would be required cases where the population was derived from sample values. Lilliefors (1967) provided the corrections tests of normality with a population of unknown mean and variance. Rosenthal (1968) pointed out the usefulness of these corrections and suggested, as an example, that on reevaluation o…

Psychology of the Scientist
Responding to a commentary by Rosenthal (1967) on Ingraham and Harrington (1966), it is suggested that interest has centered on the existence of experimenter bias to such an extent as to obscure questions of relevant variables. Some surprisingly neglected aspects of statistical procedures and critical variables are examined
Psychology of the Scientist
Rosenthal (1967a, 1967b) in the most recent of a series of interchanges over a study by Ingraham and Harrington (1966) points up residual differences in interpretation. These differences remain
Psychology of the Scientist
Although E bias has been experimentally induced and its effects discussed, few attempts have been made to explain it or to study it when E simultaneously runs all experimental conditions. In this study 27 naive Es conditioned fictitiously typed “bright” and “dull” rats for bar-pressing. Six Es ran only “bright” Ss, 6 Es ran only “dull” Ss, and 15 Es ran both types. The mean differences among groups were not significant, although there was evidenc…
Sensory Deprivation and Sensory Reinforcement with Shock
Groups of rats were raised from weaning under normal animal colony conditions and conditions of reduced sensory stimulation. In a shuttle box groups of 5, 2, and 2 showed acquisition for mild shock proportional to degree of deprivation ( P < .02). In a second experiment 16 deprived animals preferred shock more than did 14 nondeprived animals ( P < .01). Nondeprived rats preferred shock to no shock ( P < .01). The results are interpreted as effect…
Stimulus Intensity, Stimulus Satiation, and Optimum Stimulation with Light-Contingent Bar-Press
Three groups of hooded rats were tested in a Skinner box with light reinforcement, using two intensity levels and both fixed and variable light locations after dark operant pretests. The results lend support both to a stimulus satiation hypothesis and to an optimal stimulation hypothesis. It is suggested that intensity and light location are potent variables which have opposite effects on response level, intensity showing relatively more rapid ef…
