MIRROR DRAWING MEASURES ON THE VERTIVITY AXISEIICHI OKAMOTO1964 Volume 6 Issue 3 Pages 99-107
Published: 1964
Released on J-STAGE: February 24, 2009
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSVarious aspects of the mirror-drawing were analyzed in relation to the vertivity scale (extraversion-introversion). A new measuring method was tried to turn out more information on the locus of mirror-drawing than the conventional method. The subjects were divided into three groups according to their response to a questionnaire. Being viewed in terms of a model of automatic control theory, the result has shown that the vertivity had a close relationship to the feedback mechanism. In addition, some reference has been made to Eysenck's typological postulate.View full abstractDownload PDF (621K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe “vigor” of water drinking behavior was measured with 11 rats primarily in terms of “tongue pressure”, “lapping rate”, and “amount of ingestion per lap.” After having been trained to drink water from a tube, each S was tested once each for 5 min under high and low thirst drive. The Ss tended to lap with stronger tongue pressure under high drive than under low drive at the later part of the test session. The Ss lapped with significantly higher rate at the first part of the test session. The amount of ingestion per lap was greater under high drive than under low drive. The results were interpreted as suggesting the incentive motivational factor K being a function of time of deprivation.View full abstractDownload PDF (483K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this exp. is to find basic criteria for odor classification.Method: Multidimensional scaling was applied to the direct estimation of perceived similarities, Henning-Zwaardemaker-Crocker's scheme (I), Piesse's table (II), McCall's categories for perfumes (III), spices (IV), and offensive odors (V) were examined in this order.Results:(a) The most important criterion of classification by naive Ss is pleasantness-unpleasantness dimension, (b) reliability of judgment for naive Ss ranged 0.2-0.6, (c) Similarity based on direct estimation corresponds roughly to that based on semantic differential or Crocker's 4 place digits.View full abstractDownload PDF (747K) -
SHIGEO KASHIWAGI1964 Volume 6 Issue 3 Pages 125-128
Published: 1964
Released on J-STAGE: February 24, 2009
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIt is pointed out that any analytical criterion which has been proposed in the oblique case does not satisfy the simple structure criteria in Thurston's 20 box problem, and thus our new method for the oblique transformation is proposed. This method is an objectification of the Thurstone's oblique reference method. It tries to obtain the transformation matrix directly from the orthogonal factor matrix orthogonally rotated by the geometric vector solution (Kashiwagi, 1963) without requiring iteration of factor pairings. The procedures for obtaining this matrix are discussed, and our solutions of two examples-Thurstone's 20 box problem and Harman and Holzinger's 24 psychological tests-are presented. The results satisfy well the Thurstonian simple structure criteria, and show that our method is practical and useful in multiple factor oblique transformation.View full abstractDownload PDF (193K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA 2×2 factorial experiment was run in order to obtain information regarding the effects of “shuttling” condition and those of 15-cm barrier upon avoidance learning in a modified Mowrer-Miller shuttle box. 40 male albino rats were randomly assigned to one of the four groups, Sh-0, Sh-15, nonSh-0, and nonSh-15, and they all underwent 15 daily avoidance learning sessions of 10 trials each. The results indicated that rate of acquisition was faster and overall level of avoidance performance higher in the nonshuttling condition than in shuttling condition. The level of avoidance performance was higher in nonbarrier groups than in barrier groups. An interpretation in terms of “conflict” was attempted of the fact of inferior performance of shuttling groups. Hullian notion of Ir was applied to account for the barrier effect.View full abstractDownload PDF (439K) -
GRADIENT OF VISUAL FIELD AS A DETERMINANT OF SIZE CONSTANCYTATSURO MAKINO, TAKEHIRO UENO1964 Volume 6 Issue 3 Pages 136-144
Published: 1964
Released on J-STAGE: February 24, 2009
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA theory is developed with respect to size constancy in two stimuli comparison situation. Two kinds of polar comparisons between the standard and comparison stimuli presented at different distances, are enunciated; one is comparison of occlusion, and the other is comparison of proportionality. The gradient in visual field was experimentally treated as a physically controllable variable for these comparisons. Results are:(a) Perceived size varies as a function of gradient in visual field.(b) Under non-reductive condition, the physical-parallel gradient has larger effect upon perceived size than the retinalparallel gradient. Under reductive condition, the opposite result is obtained.(c) The gradient of visual field has larger effect in monocular observation than in binocular one.(d) Constancy of large square is higher than that of small one.View full abstractDownload PDF (2338K)
