小学儿童运算思惟灵活性发展的研究

本研究是密切结合学校第一线教学工作进行的。它通过横断方法与纵向方法相结合,教育与心理发展相促进,使整个研究处于“动态”,即从发展变化的观点来研究问题,围绕着小学儿童运算过程中思惟灵活性品质发展与培养,展开全面的研究。     

Ambiguity,cubist works of art,and preference

Number of one sec views and verbal judgements of interestingness and pleasingness of Cubist paintings were found to be a function of subjective ambiguity, defined in terms of the Shannon-Wiener average information measure, especially when an expectancy had been established regarding the identity of the main object or person in the paintings. Viewing behaviour was found to increase with subjective ambiguity; verbal judgements were found to decrease. Titles corresponding to varying degrees to the content of the paintings or instructions involving guessing were used to manipulate expectancy. An attempt was made to explain these findings and those involving recall of titles by making reference to Berlyne's point of view and the experimental literature.     

小学儿童数概念与运算能力发展的研究

我们曾对学龄前儿童和初入学儿童数概念与运算能力的发展作了研究。小学儿童的运算思惟是如何发展的呢?这也是儿童心理学重要研究领域之一。 我们围绕着小学儿童数概念与运算能力发展的研究,企图摸索一下小学儿童运算中     

锂盐对大鼠脑单胺类和氨基酸类神经介质含量的影响

本文以111只大鼠为材料,研究了锂盐重度中毒、血清锂达2.67±0.9meq/升,小脑锂达2.05±0.92meq/kg时,脑及各脑区六种单胺类和氨基酸,类物质含量的改变。结果表明,与正常动物相比,脑多巴胺(DA)和谷氨酸(GA)含量显著下降,5-羟色胺(5-HT),5-羟吲哚醋酸,(5-HIAA)和γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)显著增高,去甲基肾上腺素(NE)虽有下降却未达显著水平。就各脑区而言,端脑DA和GA含量显著下降,5-HIAA和GABA显著升高;间脑的NE显著下降,5-HT和GABA显著升高;脑干中除GABA增高外,其他五种测定物未发生显著改变。 这一结果似乎支持了情感活动和情感性精神病的单胺假说;但它并不是锂盐作用的唯一的和特异性机制,它也引起包括脑干在内的各脑区的GABA含量的增高。     

高原低氧对脑功能的影响

本文报告了海拔4,000米左右低氧对脑功能的影响,并观察了高原现场驾驶汽车劳动6小时后脑功能的变化。所用测试指标如下:视觉机能(颜色分辨、深度觉、视觉疲劳和视觉注意稳定性等测验);听觉机能(听阈测验、听觉疲劳、声音强度辨别阈和声源定向等测定);记忆联想和演算能力测定;反应时和手脚协同活动反应;驾驶追踪动作和汽车穿桩实验等多种综合指标。结果表明,一些指标有影响,另一些指标没有影响。总的看来,海拔4,000米左右的高原现场对人的感觉机能和脑功能没有明显的影响。     

Psychometric functions and a correlation model of binaural detection

Sets of psychometric functions for the detection of tone in noise are reexamined for several interaural listening conditions. Best-fit sets of functions are determined for a “correlation” model of binaural masking level differences (MLDs). Based on only three parameters, this model predicts both the forms and relative positions of all such functions. The finding that MLDs are relatively independent of the detection level chosen for their determination is predicted by the model, and the sets of theoretical functions describe the data nearly as well as a previously determined empirical relation which requires M + 1 parameters for M curves.     

Development of self-recognition in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes).

Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) demonstrate the ability to recognize themselves in mirrors, yet investigations of the development of self-recognition in chimpanzees are sparse. Twelve young chimpanzees, grouped by age, were given mirror exposure and tested for self-recognition and contingent movement. All 6 juveniles, 4 and 5 years old, exhibited mirror-guided, mark-directed behavior and clear evidence of self-recognition. In contrast, among the infants, only the oldest group of 2 1/2-year-olds exhibited clear evidence of self-recognition. All chimpanzees exhibited both self-directed behaviors and contingent movements. These results suggest that self-recognition occurs at a slightly older age in chimpanzees than in human infants. In humans, self-recognition is linked with other cognitive abilities. The results conform to the general pattern that great apes exhibit many cognitive skills comparable to those of 2-year-old humans.     

恒河猴数相加能力的初步研究

本实验训练恒河猴对两组其和不超过8的刺激实体(卡片上的黑色圆点)进行相加,再与第三组刺激实体进行数多少的比较判断。实验共有9个训练程序,课题逐次由易到难,刺激的数目也由少到多。有一只恒河猴达到了全部9个程序的训练标准。证明恒河猴的确具有学会把两个数进行相加的能力。这种相加不可能是数数的结果,极可能是在知觉上将它们融合或接合在一起。     

Chinese teenagers' concerns about the future: a cross-national comparison.

Teenagers in the U.S., U.S.S.R., Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and New Zealand have consistently rated death of a parent and nuclear war as their greatest concerns about the future. In the present study, however, Chinese teenagers rated overpopulation and environmental pollution as their greatest concerns; these were usually rated quite low by teenagers in other countries. While still of concern to Chinese teenagers, nuclear war seemed more remote to them than it did to U.S. and U.S.S.R. teenagers and therefore more survivable. Speculation is offered as to how teenagers' concerns reflect those of a country's general population.
