Seasonal distribution of live births in a rural community in the southern United States
Intermittent Isolation in a Serial Anticipation Task
Introductory student volunteers anticipated a 12-CVC series in which the 7th member was isolated on 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of the trials. The magnitude of the isolation effect proved to be a direct function of the frequency of occurrence of the isolating stimulus, supporting predictions based upon relative utility of cues of different reliability and also extending the notion of “degree of isolation” to include repetition frequency. The resul…
A conceptual framework for psychosocial rehabilitation
Three conceptual dimensions are presented relating diagnostic and treatment considerations to theory in the area of mental health, and specifically in the planning and evaluation of psychosocial rehabilitation. Theoretical possibilities within each dimension and some relationships among them are described, and an example is given of the application of the conceptual framework in the design of a psychosocial group service program

The Social Meaning of Leisure in Uganda and America
Data from 108 college students in Uganda and 119 students in America showed general similarities in both preferences for and the importance of social contact to 21 leisure activities. Based on the mean ratings, Americans like the activities slightly more and rated the importance of social contact for participation somewhat higher. Correlations between preferences and the importance of social contact suggest that social contact was more important …

Gratification patterns in Buganda: An Explanation of Intra-Cultural Diversity1
Despite the increasing amount of research and debate being devoted to the problem of individual modernization, behavioral scientists have largely failed to reach an adequate understanding of the processes and transformations involved. The present investigation of economic gratification behavior in Buganda demonstrates the importance of examining patterns of intra-cultural diversity in order to assess the full range of transformations and relation…

Seasonal Variation in Conception in Rural Uganda and Mexico 1
Using data from rural Uganda and Mexico, this study explores the use of multivariate statistical procedures for examining the combined effects of certain socio‐cultural and climatic variables on seasonal variations in conception. In addition, it fails to support the hypotheses advanced by Nurge (1970) that more conceptions occur during periods of heavy work and that more births occur during periods of light work. Different results and alternative…

Influence of Magnesium Pemoline upon Acquired DRL Performance
5 rats, previously trained to a criterion on drl, were tested, in 3 replications, with injections of tragacanth on 2 days and of magnesium pemoline on 1 day. Magnesium pemoline significantly impaired drl performance, but there were no significant changes within each session not as a function of replications
Effect of Electroconvulsive Shock (ECS) on Retention of a Passive Avoidance Response in Rats
Three groups of Ss were given passive avoidance response (PAR) training in a step-down box. Group NT was given neither foot shock (FS) not electroconvulsive shock (ECS) upon stepping down, Group FS received FS but no ECS, and Group FS-ECS received FS followed by ECS. Subgroups from each of these treatment groups were tested for retention 24, 48, or 72 hr. after original treatment. PAR learning was found in all of the FS groups and in the 48-hr. F…
Effect of Shock Intensity on Escape and Avoidance Learning in Rats Trained under Bilateral Spreading Depression
Two experiments investigated the effect of shock intensity on escape learning in a straight alley (Exp. I) or avoidance learning in a one-way shuttle box (Exp. II) in operated control (OC) rats or rats under bilateral spreading depression (BSD). Results of Exp. I using 0.6-, 1.2-, and 2.4-ma. shock indicated no interaction of shock level with cortical treatment and that BSD Ss were inferior to OC Ss. A low level of shock resulted in poorer perfor…
Amnesic and Aversive Effects of Electroconvulsive Shock
4 groups of 5 rats were pre-trained to run to a goalbox for food reinforcement and then were given differential goalbox treatment. Groups FS-PECS received foot-shock (FS) and pseudo (P) electroconvulsive shock (ECS) in goalbox and did not differ in trials to fear acquisition from a group receiving FS and ECS in goalbox. Group FS-ECS extinguished goalbox fear faster than Group FS-PECS demonstrating amnesic properties of ECS. Group ECS received onl…
Effect of Electroconvulsive Shock on Passive Avoidance Learning with High and Low Intensity Footshock
A 2 × 2 factorial design was used to investigate the effects of electroconvulsive shock (ECS) and pseudo-ECS (PECS) on a passive avoidance response learned under 2 intensities of footshock (FS). There were no differential effects during acquisition, however, ECS and 0.3-ma. groups extinguished faster than PECS and 2.0-ma. groups
Retention of an Avoidance Response Learned under Bilateral Spreading Depression
An experiment investigated the effect of recovery or no recovery from bilateral spreading depression (BSD) during the retention interval on an avoidance response learned and tested for retention under BSD. One group experienced BSD throughout the retention interval, another had cortical recovery. A third group had a sham BSD treatment before each training session and between sessions. A fourth group was treated like Group 1 except it was given no…
Effect of Intertrial Interval on Avoidance Learning in Rats Trained under Bilateral Spreading Depression
Groups of 10 rats were given one-way avoidance training under bilateral spreading depression (BSD) or Sham BSD (control) with ITIs of 30, 60, 120, or 240 sec.; shock side confinement was held constant at 20 sec. Results indicated BSD Ss were inferior to Sham BSD Ss; there was a significant ITI effect, the short ITIs resulting in slower learning
