    The purpose of this exp. is to find basic criteria for odor classification. Method1: Multidimensional scaling was applied to 24 stimuli based on Kainoshow's scheme.Results:(a) The most important criterion of classification by the experts was resinous; burnt vs. sweetness.(b) The results based on direct estimation roughly correspond to those of indirect calculation from semantic differential or Crocker's 4 place digits. Method2: Two batteries of semantic differential scales which are relevant to odor description were proposed, type one is 25 bipolar and the other is 20 monopolar.Results:(a) Both of them yielded factors of sensory pleasure, harshness, and vividness.(b) Experts have relatively few reference to pleasantness dimension, which is the most predominant factor for the naïve Ss.

  • CLASSICAL CONDITIONING OF HUMAN PUPILLARY CONSTRICTION

    The pupillary conditioning of human Ss was studied as a function of CS-UCS interval (Exp. I) and CS intensity (Exp. II). With a CS-UCS interval of 0.5 sec the conditioned reflex occured very little, and with an interval of 6 sec, considerable occurrence of conditioned reflex was observed. The conditioned reflex, however, occurred more frequently on the early period of conditioning, and gradually diminished in the latter half. The results of Exp. II, in which a CS intensity was varied but a CS-UCS interval was kept at 6 sec, were similar to those of 6 sec group of Exp. I.

  • ANALYSIS OF FACTORS THAT DETERMINE SUBJECTIVE WEIGHT

    The present study was designed (1) to discover the main factors that determine the positive size-weight illusion, and (2) to find an equation which relates the subjective weight with perceived size. Two types of cylinders and a series of cardboard boxes were used. Subjective weight was measured by the method of adjustment, and subjective size was determined by the constant-sum method. Effects of kinetic, tactual, and visual cues were investigated, with the result that visual ones were the most important determinants of the illusion. An equation which relates subjective weight with visual size was found as a first approximation. The limitation of the application of the equation was also investigated.

  • A NEW PROPOSITION ON NUMBER OF FACTORS AND COMMUNALITIES IN MULTIPLE-FACTOR ANALYSIS

    The new feasible criterion is presented regarding the adoption of the number of factors and the estimation of communalities. First of all, necessary notations are defined. Second, the basic assumptions for the factorization through iteration are discussed. Third, the TRACCON (trace convergence) criterion for the process convergence is discussed. Fourth, this criterion is pointed out to be not higher than one of the Guttman's algebraic lower bounds. Finally, our analysis of Harman and Holzinger's data is shown.

  • PERSONALITY CORRELATES OF PIDGIN ENGLISH USAGE AMONG JAPANESE-AMERICAN COLLEGE STUDENTS IN HAWAII

    Hawaii has developed its own characteristic speech, Island Dialect, or Pidgin English. The present study investigated the personality characteristics of college-level Japanese Americans in Hawaii referred to remedial speech courses because of severe Pidgin English usage. 79 Island-born Japanese Americans in remedial speech were compared with 60 Caucasian Americans and with 75 Island-born third-generation (sansei) Japanese-American “controls” on the Cattell 16 P. F. Questionnaire. Both first- and second-order factors in the personality sphere differentiated the groups and findings were discussed in terms of the operation of physiological, educational and socio-cultural variables.
