Organizational structures
The Japanese Psychological Association has expressed an interest in the organizational structure of The American Psychological Association (APA) that enables it to serve the broad needs of the discipline. The APA is the largest organization of individual psychologists in the world with approximately 150 000 members and affiliate members, including approximately 85 000 with PhD, PsyD, or EdD degrees; the APA also has approximately 5000 internation…
Science, applications, and regulation
About the time that Japan was opening its doors to Western societies (1868 Meiji Restoration), those Western societies were establishing psychology as a scientific and laboratory-based discipline (1879 Wundt's Laboratory). Two Japanese scholars, Yujiro Motora and Matataro Matsumoto, obtained their PhD degrees in America in the 1880s, and G. Stanley Hall and Y. Motora published a joint paper in the first volume of the American Journal of Psycholog…
An acute stressor enhances sensitivity to a chemical irritant and increases51CrEdta permeability of the colon in adult rats
On learned helplessness
Conditional choice-unique outcomes establish expectancies that mediate choice behavior
Psychoneuroimmunology
Richard L. Solomon and learned helplessness
A reevaluation of Rescorla's early dictums about Pavlovian conditioned inhibition
Rescorla's (1969) recommendations concerning the logical and empirical operations for inferring Pavlovian conditioned inbibition were examined in light of modern comparison theories of Pavlovian conditioning and new data that question whether excitation and inbibition are opposite ends of a single continuum of associative strength
A reevaluation of Rescorla's early dictums about Pavlovian conditioned inhibition
Effect of Inescapable Shock on Efficacy of Punishment of Appetitive Instrumental Responding by Dogs
Exposure of 4 dogs to a series of 60 5-sec. inescapable electric shocks increased the effectiveness of subsequent reinforcement correlated shock punishments of VR-3 responding for food, relative to 4 non-preshocked control dogs
A Note on Subception
It was noted that the usefulness of subception in the analysis of problems in perception and personality is dependent upon the hypothetical autonomic discriminatory process being more sensitive than the conscious discriminatory process. A recently proposed index (Chun & Sarbin, 1968) of subception was analyzed and found not to require greater autonomic sensitivity as a condition for subception; it was shown that random nondiscriminatory autonomic…
Effects of inescapable shock upon subsequent escape and avoidance responding.
Exposure of dogs to inescapable shocks under a variety of conditions reliably interfered with subsequent instrumental escape-avoidance responding in a new situation. Use of a higher level of shock during instrumental avoidance training did not attenuate interference; this was taken as evidence against an explanation based upon adaptation to shock. Ss curarized during their exposure to inescapable shocks also showed proactive interference with esc…
