Differentiating visual and kinesthetic imagery in mental practice.

Through two experiments, the study sought to emphasize the usefulness of the visual and kinesthetic imagery in mental practice. In Experiment 1, it was hypothesized that when the task to be learned through mental practice necessitates the reproduction of a form by drawing, the visual image, which provides a wide span of apprehension, is more suitable than the kinesthetic image. On the other hand, the kinesthetic image that supplies inputs from the muscles' positions and movements should be more appropriate for the acquisition of the duration of the drawing. In Experiment 2, it was hypothesized that the task, transformed into a motor task necessitating minute coordination of the two hands, would benefit more from kinesthetic imagery. To have optimal control over what was actually experienced during mental practice, the participants' imagery skills were measured. The participants also benefited from prior imagery training. The results demonstrate that when using mental practice to initially acquire a task, visual imagery is better for tasks that emphasize form while kinesthetic imagery is better for those tasks that emphasize timing or minute coordination of the two hands.     

当代北京大学生工作价值观结构研究

本研究旨在考察当代北京大学生的工作价值观。研究使用作者自编的调查问卷调查了北京4所大学的350名学生。调查结果揭示,当代大学生看重的工作价值观呈现4因子的结构模型,分别是:经济报酬与工作环境,个人成长与发展,组织文化与管理方式,社会地位与企业发展。与10年前的大学生需要结构相比,当代北京大学生已经从绝对个体观念转为集体中的个体观念,能够更加全方位地考虑个人的工作价值观。     

微创技术在脑血管病诊治中的应用与存在的问题

脑血管病是危害人类健康的三大疾病之一.随着CT、,MRI、DSA等先进设备的应用,脑血管病的诊治水平进入一个新的阶段.显微手术、血管内栓塞、γ-刀或X-刀等很多微创技术不断应用于脑血管病的治疗.由于各地区发展不平衡,微创技术的应用尚存在不少问题.因此,必须积极稳妥地开展脑血管病诊治中的微创技术.     

Asian Pentecostalism: a religion whose only limit is the sky

The study surveys the current growth of Pentecostal Christianity, as defined broadly, in Asia, particularly in comparison with Latin America and Africa, predicting that the future growth is expected to be exponential. In a brief historical survey, the continent is divided into four categories depending on the beginning and development of Pentecostal Christianity: Pre‐Azusa Revivals; Azusa Missionaries; New Pentecostal churches; and ‘None of the above.’ The study concludes with the discussion of four unique characteristics of Asian Pentecostalism: the movement in the context of suffering; the charismatic nature of the church as demonstrated by some Asian churches; explosive church growth among Pentecostal churches; and the emergence of strong Pentecostal scholarship in Asia. The author presents the bright future for Asian Pentecostal Christianity, but also raises a warning signal for the healthy development of its spirituality and theology.     

名人与产品一致性对名人广告效果影响的实验研究

本研究通过实验考察了名人与产品的一致性对名人广告效果的影响,结果表明,名人为高档商品做广告时,广告效果优于非名人广告效果,为低档商品做广告时,非名人广告效果优于名人广告效果,进一步分析表明,受众相信名人使用广告中商品的可能性是制约名人广告效果的重要心理机制。

The multiple dual-pair method

A model for the multiple dual-pair method, a generalization of the traditional dual-pair (4IAX) paradigm, is given. This model is expressed in terms of normal and beta distributions. This generalization allows for the simultaneous estimation of the perceptual distances among three or more stimuli. This model has applications in cases in which multiple two-sample comparisons would be too time consuming and labor intensive. The theory discussed shows how unequal variances can be estimated on the basis of results from that method. Two numerical examples that illustrate the ability of the beta distribution-based model to retrieve the appropriate parameters are given. It is also shown how the traditional dual-pair model is a special case of the multiple dual-pair model.     

Team climate,climate strength and team performance. A longitudinal study

We tested the hypothesis that the relationship between team climate and team performance is moderated by climate strength. The study sample was composed of 155 bank branches, and a two‐wave panel design was implemented. We measured four team climate facets (support, innovation, goal achievement and enabling formalization). We obtained two subjective indicators of team performance (ratings provided by team members and by team managers) and a financial indicator of team performance. Seven out of the 12 interaction effects tested were statistically significant and showed the expected sign. When financial team performance was the criterion, only the interaction term was significant. This suggests that only strong climates are related to financial team performance over time.     

Refutation by Parallel Argument

This paper discusses the method when an argument is refuted by a parallel argument since the flaw of the parallel argument is clearly displayed. The method is explicated, examined and compared with two other general methods.

Lesions of the dorsal subiculum and the dorsal hippocampus impaired pattern separation in a task using distinct and overlapping visual stimuli

The contribution of the dorsal subiculum (DS) and of the dorsal hippocampus (DH) to memory for distinct and overlapping visual stimuli was examined. Rats with selective lesions of the DS or the DH were compared to sham-operated rats on a delayed matching-to-place task guided by distal visual cues in a modified radial-arm maze. Overlapping distal visual cues could be perceived from three arm entrances (adjacent arms) and a unique set of distal cues were more likely to be seen from the other two arm entrances (distinct arms). Rats with DS lesions were impaired on trials with baited adjacent arms, but not on trials with baited distinct arms. Rats with DH lesions were impaired on both types of trials. These results suggest that the DS and the DH are necessary for pattern separation and that they may have different contributions to memory.
