Attribution of behavioral intentions to obese and normal‐weight stimulus persons
This study examines the relationship between the attribution of traits and the attribution of short‐term, situation‐specific intentions and probable behaviors, with particular reference to the perception of obese persons. College students performed one of four tasks: (1) Rating photographs of obese and normal‐weight female faces for likeability and attractiveness; (2) attributing short‐term intentions and probable behaviors to these stimulus pers…
Three Studies of Retroactive-Inhibition during Free-Recall from a Disinhibition Perspective
The effect of a whistle (hypothesized to be disinhibiting) on retroactive-inhibition was studied in three experiments each using a 2 (whistle, no whistle) × 3 (retroactive-inhibition, unrelated list, unrelated task conditions) factorial design. In Exp. 1 an unexpected blast (whistle condition) was presented as Ss began terminal List 1 recall. In Exp. 2 the whistle was presented as Ss began the first test trial of List 2 acquisition. In Exp. 3 the…
Can Unlearning Be Undone? Tests of the Inhibition Hypothesis
The inhibition hypothesis of unlearning suggests that A-B recall might be facilitated after A-C learning if A-C were inhibited by a third list. The first experiment showed that while A-C can be interfered with by a C-C'r list, A-B retention loss increased, contrary to prediction. A second experiment varied the A-C inhibition task without effect on A-B recall. However, in a third experiment, data consistent with the inhibition hypothesis were obta…
Stimulus Availability and Backward Association
It was found that increasing stimulus availability by manipulating stimulus meaning and frequency, increased the manifestations of backward association (Exp. I). In Exp. II, to determine whether increased stimulus availability increased backward association as a performance phenomenon or whether the backward associative bond was actually strengthened, results were indeterminate because over-all interference effects were obtained. It was concluded…
