语音与汉字识别

以速示的方法,在单侧视野呈现单字词和双侧视野同时呈现单字词的条件下,比较了有听力的被试和聋人被试在汉字识别时大脑两半球机能的非对称性。结果表明,有听力的被试表现为右侧视野(左侧大脑半球)的优势效应、而聋人被试则表现出相反方向的大脑半球的优势功能。但聋人被试左侧大脑半球的功能明显降低,而右侧大脑半球的功能与有听力的被试相比几乎是同等的。表明言语知觉的缺失严重地阻碍了以语音为中介的左侧大脑半球功能的正常发展。     

FACTORIAL INVARIANCE OF BIOGRAPHICAL FACTORS

A biographical information blank (BIB) was administered to students in grades 7, 9, and 11, and was subsequently analyzed to determine the stability of both its factor pattern and structure. This was done by deriving a single average factor pattern matrix which was rotated to simple structure and then to similarity to each of three factor matrices at each grade level. Of 11 factors extracted, all but three showed reasonably good stability. Those factors that showed the greatest change, in terms of their presence over the three grade levels, were General Appreciation of School Courses, Social Activities, and High Level Literary Activities. Implications of stability in factor pattern and structure for further BIB development and for utilization in the framework of a longitudinal study are discussed.     

FACTORIAL INVARIANCE OF PERSONALITY RATINGS

K uusinen , J. Factorial invariance of personality ratings. Scand. J. Psychol ., 1969, 10 , 33–44—Three studies employing the same set of 33 personality rating scales are described. (I) Five factor structures of the scales, derived from ratings of five groups of stimuli, were compared. (2) One subject rated different personality concepts three times at one week's intervals. (3) 12 individual factor structures were compared to the factor structure computed from peer ratings of a group of 39 subjects. Results: (a) the factor structure of the scales was largely independent of stimuli, (b) the structure for an individual was stable, (c) the group structure represented the individual's structure, ( d ) differences between group and the individual structure and between individuals were negligible.     

关于健康社会性格的跨文化研究

A MULTIVARIATE INVESTIGATION OF PREFERENCES

The performance of four rules for determining the number of components to retain (Kaiser's eigenvalue greater than unity, Cattell's SCREE, Bartlett's test, and Velicer's MAP) was investigated across four systematically varied factors (sample size, number of variables, number of components, and component saturation). Ten sample correlation matrices were generated from each of 48 known population correlation matrices representing the combinations of conditions. The performance of the SCREE and MAP rules was generally the best across all situations. Bartlett's test was generally adequate except when the number of variables was close to the sample size. Kaiser's rule tended to severely overestimate the number of components.

THE APPLICATION OF NATURALISTIC CONVERSATION TRAINING TO SPEECH PRODUCTION IN CHILDREN WITH SPEECH DISABILITIES

The purpose of this experiment was to test the effectiveness of including speech production into naturalistic conversation training for 2 children with speech production disabilities. A multiple baseline design across behaviors (target phonemes) and across subjects (for the same phoneme) indicated that naturalistic conversation training resulted in improved spontaneous speech production. The implications of these findings are discussed relative to existing models of speech production training and other aspects of communication disorders.     

GENDER, ROLE, AND POWER: A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF SPEECH

It seems possible that gender differences may often be reducible to differences in role. The authors sought to explore the effects of role and gender on hostile and anxious communications. Role was manipulated through the use of the Melian Dialogues, a technique borrowed from community organization training that asks participants alternately to assume roles of superior and inferior power. Fourteen groups of college students, each with a four-member team of women and a four-member team of men, engaged in the Dialogues. Their communications, recorded and transcribed verbatim, were coded according to the Gotts-chalk-Gleser method of content analysis. A multivariate analysis of variance revealed that while role had a highly significant effect (p <.0001) on the content of the communications, neither gender nor the order in which roles were assumed exerted a significant influence. Results were interpreted as a consequence of role justification.
