Working Together for Better Student Learning
Students are not exposed to enough real-life data. This paper describes how a community of scholars seeks to remedy this deficiency and gives the pedagogical details of an ongoing project that commenced in the Fall 2004 semester. Fostering deep learning, this multiyear project offers a new active-learning, hands-on interdisciplinary laboratory program in which engineering, geoscience, and meteorology students are encouraged to participate activel…
Parental perception and perceived locus of control in psychopathology
S ummary The intrusion of anxiety and disruption of ego functions seen in the more serious forms of psychopathology would seem incompatible with maintenance of an unimpaired sense of personal identity. The present study took the position that the psychiatric patient's fragile or poorly developed sense of his own identity would be reflected (a) in deficient or tenuous identifications with parental norms and values and (b) in the perception of less…
Perceptual Manifestations of Experimentally Enhanced Body Boundary Experience
Results of the present study suggest that by articulating an individual's experience of the surface of his body one can differentially sensitize him to the surface qualities of external, nonbody objects. These results are consistent both with sensory-tonic field theoretical research demonstrating the interactive nature of body and nonbody spatial coordinate systems, and with body image research relating patterns of body activation or attention to…
Visual Acuity and Stimulus-Seeking Behavior
The classic concept of a sense organ as a passive receiver of stimulation is evolving toward a view that considers its exploratory capabilities and its implications for orientation and arousal. Recent research, for example, suggests that the pupillary response and fixation saccadic eye movements are directly implicated in processes of cortical activation. Results of this study suggest that visual acuity may also be better understood within an act…
Automatization and hypochondriasis
Visual Acuity and Excitement
Viewed within the framework of activation theory, individuals with low visual acuity might conceivably be seen as persons with low preferred levels of activation who seek to reduce stimulus input in order to maintain activation at their preferred level. It was hypothesized, therefore, that persons with low visual acuity would demonstrate less receptivity to environmental stimulation than high-acuity individuals. In support of this hypothesis, sub…
