Locus of control, interpersonal trust, and autonomic responding during visual orienting
Internal-External Control, Divergent Thinking and Levels of Abstractness
This study deals with the relationship of scores on Rotter's I-E scale with scores on Guilford's Unusual Uses Tests and on a sorting task judged for level of abstractness ( n = 90 junior high students). There were no relationships between the locus of control scores and measures of uncommonness and of levels of abstractness of responses

Are the Principles of Behavior of “Exceptional Children” Exceptional
The thesis was presented that behavioral differences in groups of “exceptional” children do not imply different principles of behavior are applicable to each group, as is often suggested, but instead are consequents of differences in learning capacity and modified environmental conditions associated with the exceptionality. Methodological problems in the identification of unique characteristics of the exceptional child were discussed, and it was …
Persistence and Intermittent Reinforcement
The effects of prior experienced or instructed reinforcement schedule of success were investigated in a subsequent persistent situation. Rotter and Feather predict greater persistence or resistance to extinction, the higher the probability of previous success, while the extinction model would predict the greater resistance to extinction, the lower the previous probability of success. The results supported the extinction model
Electric Shock Therapy and the Mecholyl Test
An attempt was made to determine the efficiency of the mecholyl test as a predictor of EST. The criterion employed was whether the patient improved or did not improve after a course of EST. In general, we found no consistent relationship between grouping as based on the mecholyl test and the criterion of recovery following EST. In our study we were not able to verify the results of Funkenstein. The differences in the two studies might be attribut…
The Reliability of the Mecholyl Test
Thirty patients in a psychiatric hospital and 15 medical students were administered mecholyl and epinephrine on each of 2 occasions. Systolic blood pressure readings were obtained and an attempt made to establish the reliability of the aforementioned drugs. Reaction to epinephrine as reflected in systolic pressure was "somewhat" reliable. Reactions to mecholyl, on the other hand, indicated a rather low order of test-retest reliability. It is sugg…
Effects of Cortisone on Psychological Test Performance
Since 1946 when cortisone was first used to treat physical illness at the Mayo Clinic, interest has been growing in the possible psychological effects of this drug. Investigators (3) have thought that at least some cases of mental illness are associated with an imbalance in body biochemistry. Although no one has yet been able to work out a theory which will predict the occurrence and course of a mental illness on this basis, Selye's (6) recent fo…
Effects of Cortisone on Psychiatric Patients
Studies on 16 subjects were made to determine whether behavioral changes occur as a result of cortisone therapy. All subjects were treated exactly alike, except that half the group were given tablets containing cortisone and half were given placebo. A battery of psychiatric and psychological tests was administered: two forms of interview; part of the Wechsler-Bellevue Adult Intelligence Scale; the Rorschach test; part of the Thematic Apperception…
