Relating Sensation Seeking and the von Restorff Isolation Effect
Sensation seeking was examined in a short-term memory task involving the serial recall of a 10-item list of consonants with (isolated) and without (non-isolated) a distinctively larger item in the fifth position. 126 students were given the Sensation Seeking Scale Form-V and 32 10-item lists to memorize in a 1 by 3 mixed design. Sensation seeking was a between-subject factor and Blocks (Trials 1-16 and 17-32), Isolation (isolated and nonisolated)…
Effects of Directions to Remember or to Forget on the Short-Term Recognition Memory of Simultaneously Presented Words
An initial study suggested that directions to forget actually resulted in better remembering in a short-term word-recognition memory task. Four follow-up studies showed no statistically significant evidence that directions to forget caused either increased remembering or forgetting. The evidence supporting the enhancement effects of directions to remember a single word in a 5-word array (arranged as the 5 dots on a die) is strong, and the resulti…
Sex Differences in Romantic Love Attitudes among College Students
Previous research, using factor analysis, derived seven dimensions of romantic love. We sought to address whether these dimensions differed in importance for women and men. Specifically, it was hypothesized that women would consider Marriage and Family, Traditional Romantic Behavior, Routine Activities, and Religion, and men would consider Sexual Behavior, Aberrant Sex, and Drugs as more romantic. These specific predictions were seen as consisten…
Effects of Aids on Homosexual Attitudes and Behavior
A questionnaire was designed to assess attitudes and behaviors with regard to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) and distributed to 66 male adult gays In the Buffalo, NY area. Volunteers were recruited at gay support meetings with more than 75To of the membership present. Ages ranged from 18 to 65 yr. and were evenly distributed across this range and blueand white-collar workers were approximately equal. Forty-three reported being exclusiv…
Isolation Effect in Simultaneously Presented Lists of Different Lengths
In the middle of half the 12 lists of stimulus consonants studied by a subject, either a Consonant, Vowel, Consonant (CVC) or Consonant, Consonant, Consonant (CCC) twice as large as the surrounding items was presented. Each list of 7, 9, or 11 items was presented simultaneously in a horizontal array to college students. Memory for the enlarged trigram was superior to that for normal-size controls, and the superiority increased with list length bu…
Preferences and Behaviors of Morning and Night People
The history of individual differences for those who might be described as morning or night people (a.m.-p.m. people) dates back at least to O'Shea ( 7 ) , who tried to determine the time of day when people were at their best and their worst and found individual differences. There has been some debate as to how many categories and types exist. Freeman and Hovland ( 3 ) proposed four types, classified as to patterns of body temperature. Kleitrnan (…
Aging and the von Restorff Isolation Effect in Short/Term Memory
College students (n = 36) and elderly persons (n = 28 females, eight males; 60–83 years old) were compared on an immediate-memory task involving an outstanding item in the center of the array. The college students remembered the outstanding item well, the elderly did not. Both groups displayed better overall performance for the list containing the outstanding item. The results are discussed in terms of differences in processing strategies
The Isolation Effect in Children's Short Term Memory
Two short-term memory probe experiments involving the isolation effect (IE) were each done with two groups of children (5–6 and 9–11 years). Strong evidence was found for the IE. In simultaneously presented lists there was evidence for an overall list facilitation due to isolation, and younger children actually performed better on the isolate. The IE in children was described as a short-term perceptual process which is more active in younger than…
Short-Term Memory Isolation
This study attempted to account for the three possible outcomes which result from creating an outstanding item in a serial list. The existing literature reports null, facilitative, and debilitative effects on overall list performance. Eighty-two male and female undergraduates were shown either a simultaneously or successively presented 11-item list of letters and instructed for immediate recall. The isolate, which appeared in the middle of the li…
Isolation Effect
In a study of overall list facilitation and debilitation effects with an isolated item, it was hypothesized that a moderate difference for the isolate relative to the other list items would improve memory performance for a serial list, whereas larger differences would actually disrupt performance. Fifty students from an introductory psychology class, who participated to fulfill a class requirement, served as Ss. They were shown 11-item lists of s…
The Course of Love
The perceived importance of sex and security, estimates of loving and liking, and the physical proximity for 32 couples married 0 to 15 yr. were analyzed. Results indicated that, as the duration of marriage increased, the importance of sex increased while security decreased and love scores decreased. The results were attributed to personality shifts for husbands or wives and/or the possibility that marriage may satisfy the security needs but not …
Crowding and Satisfaction in a Banking Environment, an Ethological Approach
86 customers were randomly selected for observation as they entered a bank. A number of behavioral and situational variables were recorded by the experimenter on a portable tape recorder. The only significant predictor of satisfaction was the number of customers in the bank. The more crowded the bank, the less satisfied was the customer. The results were explained in terms of the violation of personal space and/or the subject's perception of depe…
Attitudes, Cognitive Structures and Emotional Reactivity to Sex and Security
An attempt was made to determine if sex differences existed for attitudes, cognitive structures, and emotional reactivity for concepts of sex and security and for stimuli. It was hypothesized that for males, the concept of sex and/or sexual stimuli will be ranked higher, elicit a stronger physiological response, elicit a greater number of responses in a free-association task, and be more prevalent in compositions written about love, and that for …
