Knowing and unknowing as cardinal virtues of the creative attitude
Maslow (1963, 1993) characterized the “creative attitude' in a wide variety of ways that seemed centered to him on” being lost in the present” and “fusion of person and world.” Perhaps his long list of circumventing attributes was intended to be more suggestive than definitive; thus, “Maslow's puzzle” (Germana, 2007). If so, the puzzle ought not to be approached as something to be completely solved, but rather as something to be played with in he…
Maslow's Puzzle: A Reconfiguration
Maslow's puzzle: A reconfiguration
A.H. Maslow (1963, 1993) characterized the “creative attitude” in ways such as giving up the past and future, loss of ego or self-forgetfulness, Taoistic receptivity, and innocence. He suggested that underlying these and related characteristics may be “certain prerequisites,” which he offered to us as a “puzzle.” “Maslow's puzzle” may be considered in relation to what he regarded as a sine qua non of creativeness: “fusion of person and world.” Th…

Effects of Behavioral Responding on Skin Conductance Level
The effects of behavioral response requirements on skin conductance level (SCL) were studied. Initial Ss were placed in either a “non-respond” (NR) or a “respond” (R) condition. No clear effects were observed other than large differences in individual response to both conditions. Subsequent use of a within- Ss replication design showed, however, that behavioral requirements have a tonic effect on SCL and that anticipatory changes in SCL may occur…
Psychophysiological correlates of conditioned response formation
Isolation of an Habituational Position Effect in Paired-Associate Learning
Verbal responses on Trial 2 of a paired-associate learning session were trichotomized into correct responses, incorrect or competing responses, and omission errors. When serial position effects were procedurally and analytically controlled, correct responses increased and competing responses decreased across the eight serial positions on this trial. Galvanic skin responses to the stimulus members of the pairs systematically decreased across posit…
Effects of Activation Level on Paired-Associate Learning
Ss were divided into high activation (HiAct) and low activation (LoAct) groups on the basis of pre-learning basal skin resistance (BSR). All Ss were given 3 trials on 2 different lists of paired-associates and the number of competing responses, omission errors, and correct responses emitted were recorded. In support of activation theory, it was found that HiAct Ss consistently made more competing responses but fewer omission errors than the LoAct…
