“做中学”科学教育对儿童情绪表现的影响

儿童所具有的情绪能力在其以后发展过程中的重要作用,鉴于此,本文在总结国内外研究的基础上编制了儿童情绪表现的教师问卷,通过他评法对汕头市参与"做中学"科学教育项目的四所幼儿园的277名儿童进行随机抽查,结果显示"做中学"科学教育课程对儿童在确信度上具有非常显著的积极作用.儿童入园时间越长,代表他所接受的"做中学"课程培训的时甸也就越长,其确信度得分也越高.     

汉语字词的短时记忆容量

最简单的短时记忆信息加工理论认为短时记忆有一个固定组块数的容量。为了对短时记忆容量有更进一步的了解,用中文字词的即时回忆数量与英文的结果相对照将是有帮助的。本文对三种汉语材料,两种熟悉水平,两种呈现方法以及两种学习方式进行了控制对照实验。结果表明,以词为组块测量短时记忆容量比以其他单位测量更接近恒定。可是也观察到短时记忆容量随组块复杂性的增加而稍有下降。在机械学习中以其所用时间为测量单位也表现出组块相对恒定。刺激材料的熟悉程度对短时记忆容量的影响未显出大的差别,实验还发现视觉短时记忆容量比听觉大,序列位置分析表明主要在序列位置前部视觉成绩较听觉为好,并对其原因作了推测。     

中—英双语读者词汇表征的研究(二)

在本实验中。我们加入了单词的意象变量,进一步考察了中—英双语读者的词汇表征问题。让16名外语系本科生进行词汇判断,实验方法与程序与上一个实验相同。通过对被试反应时的比较发现,对于高意象词,在语言内和语言间重复条件下都有重复效应,而对于低意象词,只有在语言内重复条件下有重复效应。我们认为,中—英双语读者对来自两种语言的高意象词不但有两个独立的言语存储系统;还有一个为两个独立的言语存储系统所共有的意象存储系统;而对于低意象词,则只有两个独立的言语存储系统。两个独立的言语存储系统中的对译词Logogen不能自动地、直接地相互激活,而可能通过意象系统的中介作用自动地、间接地激活。对被试判断错误率的考察亦验证了上述假设。     

北京大学学生价值观倾向的初步定量研究

本研究应用价值观研究量表中文修订本施测690名北京大学学生,结果表明,大学生中价值倾向相对强弱的顺序是:政治、审美、理论、经济、社会、宗教,并表现出性别差异。因素分析发现,存在四种价值倾向组合型式。除宗教外,其余五种价值倾向测量均有足够的效度和信度。

基于语义的词汇判断的计算模型

词汇判断是一种在字词认知研究中广泛使用的实验范式。本文提出了一个基于分布式语义表征的计算模型,用来解释某些在词汇判断作业中出现的实验现象。模型是一个包括词形层、隐层、语义层、词典层和判断层的前传网络。词形层、隐层和语义层之间的连接权重在学习过程中被不断调整,使用反传算法进行学习。语义层、词典层和判断层之间的连接权重在学习前就已被固定,在学习过程中不进行调整。模型模拟了在词汇判断作业中出现的四种实验现象：（１）频率效应;（２）语义启动效应;（３）频率与语境的交互作用;（４）重复启动效应。模型所表现出的行为特性由模型的框架和学习算法所决定。

Parental stress, coping styles, and social supports in chinese families with hepatitis-b-carrying children

The purpose of the study was to examine the hypothesis that parents’ psychological well-being can be affected by a child’s illness and their social situations. In this study, we discuss the roles of coping, social support and situational context related to stress. These factors cannot only affect stress levels but can also influence whether the individual adopts a certain type of coping style for stressful events. Parental stress, coping styles and social support were compared between groups of parents of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier children or healthy children. Results showed that parents of affected children were significantly more stressed and psychologically at risk, and tended to mobilize personal resources and to rely more on themselves to solve stressful life events. They also sought help from social resources more often than did parents of healthy children. Parents of healthy children had a higher number of close friends and relatives available to them. Ninety Chinese parents and their HBV or healthy children participated in this study. These families were all living in the city of Guangzhou, China.     

大脑机能一侧化和表意文字符号的认读

本实验在速示条件下探讨认读作为表意文字符号的汉字和阿拉伯数字时,视野(大脑半球)一侧化问题。实验结果表明,单个阿拉伯数字不表现出大脑一侧化;单侧视野呈现汉字或双字词以及双侧视野同时分别是现汉字和阿拉伯数字时,表现出右视野(左半球)认读的正确率显著的高;在双侧同时分别呈现双字词和数字以及中央视野与单侧视野同时呈现汉字时,左右视野差别虽不显著,但仍表明左半球在汉字、词的认读中起主要作用。
