Respiratory symptoms and lung function 8–10 months after community exposure to chlorine gas: A public health intervention and cross-sectional analysis
Eight to ten months after acute chlorine exposure, the Graniteville health screening participants under-reported respiratory symptoms when compared to abnormal spirometry results. Sensitivity and specificity were low, and we determined that relying upon the self-report questionnaire was not adequate to objectively assess the lung health of our population following irritant gas exposure
Predictors of time to enter medical care after a new HIV diagnosis: A statewide population-based study
Public health benefits of expanded HIV screening will be adequately realized only if an early diagnosis is followed by prompt linkage to care. We characterized rates and factors associated with failure to enter into medical care within three months of HIV diagnosis and assessed the predictors of time to enter care over a follow-up period of up to 60 months. The study cohort included 3697 South Carolina (SC) residents' ≥13 years who were newly HIV…
Associations of Rural Residence With Timing of HIV Diagnosis and Stage of Disease at Diagnosis, South Carolina 2001-2005
CONTEXT: Rural areas in the southern United States face many challenges, including limited access to health care services and stigma, which may lead to later HIV diagnosis among rural residents. PURPOSE: To investigate the associations of rural residence with timing of HIV diagnosis and stage of disease at diagnosis. METHODS: Timing of HIV diagnosis was categorized as a diagnosis of acquired immune deficiency syndrome within 1 year of a first pos…
Visually Controlled Locomotion and Visual Orientation in Animals
A general theory of locomotor behaviour in relation to physical objects is presented. Since the controlling stimulation for such behaviour is mainly optical, this involves novel assumptions about object perception and about what is called 'visual kinaesthesis'. Evidence for these assumptions is cited. On the basis of this theory it is possible to suppose that animals are visually oriented to the surfaces of their environment, not merely to light …

The Ecological Approach to the Visual Perception of Pictures
Having rejected the picture theory of natural perception we can make a start on picture perception. To see the environment is to extract information from the ambient array of light. What is it, then, to see a picture of something? The information in ambient light does not consist of forms and colors but of invariants. Is it implied that the information in a picture does not consist of forms and colors but of invariants? That sounds very odd, for …

Pickford and the Failure of Experimental Esthetics
The appearance of a careful and scholarly book by R. W. Pickford on experimental esthetics presents an opportunity to review this century-old discipline and try to decide whether or not it has been worth the effort. Has the approach of the experimental psychologist to art taught us anything? Is it something that the artist and the perceiver of art should know about? The title of the book is Psychology and Visual Aesthetics (London: Hutchinson Edu…

On Information Available in Pictures
The author reviews two current conflicting theories of what a picture is: (1) that it consists of a sheaf of light rays coming to a station point orperceiver, each corresponding to a spot of color on the picture surface and hence that the picture can standfor a real object or scene insofar as the rays from the picture are the same as the rays from the real object; (2) that it consists of a set of symbols, more or less like words, and the perceive…

On the Relation between Hallucination and Perception
The author challenges the concept that hallucination is indistinguishable from perception. His view is that a mental image, such as that occurring in a hallucination, can be differentiated from a percept when perception takes place over a period of time. His theory is supported by the fact that during perception the percept is subject to tests for reality, for example, scanning and inspection with the eyes and by head, hand and body movements, wh…

A Technique for Investigating Retroactive and other Inhibitory Efects in Immediate Memory
Résumé Une forme non-sens quand vue seule est beaucoup mieux rappelée et reproduite que lorsqu'elle est précédée ou suivie d'autres formes dans une série. On décrit une méthode pour mesurer la rétention d'une forme visuellement perçue comme fonction de sa position en série, indépendamment du facteur récence. Dans une série de cinq formes il y a une augmentation progressive des résultats de la rétention depuis la première position jusqu'à la cinqu…

Perceptual learning: Differentiation or enrichment?
means different things to different psychologists. To some it implies that human perception is, in large part, learned—that we learn to see depth, for instance, or form, or meaningful objects. In that case the theoretical issue involved is how much of perception is learned, and the corresponding controversy is that of nativism or empiricism. To others the term implies that human learning is in whole or part a matter of perception—that learning de…
