Tube feeding: Intestinal factors in gastric loadingSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 373-374 - 2013
Saul Balagura, Hans C. Fibiger
An experiment was performed to measure stomach retention as a function of stomach load in 60 female albino rats. Each group (N = 10) was loaded with 5, 12, or 25 ml of either isotonic saline or Metrecal. It was found that stomach retention was equal to stomach load only in the 5 ml condition. When greater loads were used, an increasing proportion of the loads passed into the intestine. Intestinal ...... hiện toàn bộ
Exploratory behavior in response to the spatial rearrangement of familiar stimuliSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 117-118 - 2013
Kenneth J. Wilz, Ruth L. Bolton
The effects of the spatial rearrangement of familiar stimuli on exploratory behavior were studied in the Mongolian gerbil. Using an open-field situation, Ss were exposed to one or a number of stimuli in a particular spatial relation to each other and to the walls of the container. A rearrangement of these stimuli (or stimulus) subsequently evoked considerably more exploration than did the control ...... hiện toàn bộ
The effects of prior training to imitate or nonimitate on subsequent susceptibility to social influenceSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 67-68 - 2013
Roberta Baron
The effects of prior training to imitate or nonimitate on subsequent susceptibility to social influence were investigated. It was hypothesized that training Ss to imitate the responses of another individual would increase their susceptibility to social influence, while training Ss to nonimitate the responses of another individual would decrease such susceptibility. Results indicated that conformit...... hiện toàn bộ
The delineation and application of three mnemonic techniquesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 20 - Trang 339-341 - 2013
Charles E. Boltwood, Kenneth A. Blick
In an experiment to determine what mnemonic techniques Ss would employ in learning a list of 19 unrelated nouns, Ss used the first-letter (FL), clustering (C), and descriptive-story (DS) techniques. In a second experiment three groups applied the mnemonic techniques, and recall was compared to a no-mnemonic condition. No significant differences were found at the immediate-recall test; however, 1 w...... hiện toàn bộ
Recognition of recalled and non-recalled itemsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 291-292 - 2013
D. W. Packham
An experiment was conducted to investigate whether the presence of previously recalled items in a recognition test affected Ss’ efficiency in discriminating items they had previously failed to recall. Two different tests of recognition were given to both groups of Ss after they had attempted free recall. Inclusion of recalled items in the first test significantly impaired overall recognition score...... hiện toàn bộ
The effects of information redundancy on evaluations of social stimuliSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 245-246 - 2014
Robert S. Wyer
Subjects were asked to estimate their liking for persons described by pairs of adjectives. These estimates were analyzed as a function of the favorableness of the adjectives in each pair and the redundancy of these adjectives. The degree of redundancy of an adjective B with a second adjective A was defined as the conditional probability of occurrence of B given A; these probabilities were estimate...... hiện toàn bộ
Recovery from punishment as a function of deprivation levelSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 119-121 - 2013
Larry MacDonald, Alan Baron
Rats lived in an operant conditioning chamber where maintenance water was continuously available as a consequence of leverpressing. Under these conditions of very low deprivation, a 1-day period of shock punishment severely suppressed responding. To observe the influence of increased motivation on recovery from punishment, Ss were deprived of water outside the chamber for 0, 24, or 72 h and then r...... hiện toàn bộ
Adaptation to the dominance tubeSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 119-120 - 2013
Wayne J. Wilson
Two groups of rats inexperienced in dominance tube competition opposed respectively an established group of dominant and submissive Ss. Results were negligible between dominant and naive Ss but submissive animals performed below chance against naive opponents, after displaying transitory ascendance during early dominance contests. A fifth group of rats was used to demonstrate the reliability of tu...... hiện toàn bộ
Albinism and audiogenic seizures in the mouseSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 97-98 - 2013
Keith Gutherz, D. D. Thiessen
Albino (cc) and non-albino (CC or Cc) mice were tested for audiogenic seizure susceptibility beginning at all of the ages from day 14 to day 21 postpartum. At every starting age the onset of first seizure was later for the albino genotype. The latency measures and day of death indicate, however, that the initial retardation is overcome by a faster subsequent development.
