插图在说明文阅读理解中的作用

研究的目的在于揭示插图对说明文阅读理解的影响。实验中使用移动窗口技术对阅读过程中插图的作用进行探讨,并考察空间想象能力在其中的作用。结果表明：１．插图可以改进说明文的阅读理解,提高阅读速度;２．插图可以帮助读者建立文章所描述物体的参照表征,在建立参照表征的过程中,插图有利于重要概念的理解和有关参照表征信息的整合;３．插图有助于空间想象能力低的读者理解重要概念以及整合有关信息。     

开发儿童创造力的实验研究

采用吉尔福特的智力结构模型,结合现代心理学对创造力的研究观点,编出一套实验教材,为学生开设每周２课时的创造活动课,对学生进行创造力的全面培养。研究结果表明,创造活动课促进了学生智力和创造力的发展,同时也促进了学生其它学科的学习。     

形声字心理词典中义符和音符线索的作用

本实验采用启动条件下的词汇判断法,用形声字的义符或音符作为启动刺激,对形声字心理词典中义符和音符线索的作用进行探讨。结果发现：义符线索比音符线索的作用更大;义符、音符对低频字的影响比对高频字的影响更大;当义符、音符与字义、字音一致和不一致时,又符线索和音符线索的作用不一样。     

Effect of response practice variables on learning spelling and sight vocabulary

Four experiments were conducted to examine variables associated with response practice as an instructional technique for individuals with intellectual disabilities. In Experiment 1, the effect of the cover component in the "cover write" method was evaluated, as were the comparative effects of written versus oral practice of spelling words by rehabilitation clients. The results showed that the cover procedure generally did not enhance performance over and above that produced by practice alone, and written practice generally was not superior to oral practice. Experiment 2 demonstrated that less response practice (i.e., five times) was as effective as more practice (i.e., 10 and 15 times) for teaching spelling to adolescents with developmental disabilities. Experiments 3 and 4 also showed that even less response practice (i.e., one time) was as effective as more practice (five times), and irrelevant practice following errors was as effective as relevant practice for teaching spelling and sight vocabulary to adolescents with behavior disorders and developmental disabilities, respectively. The findings suggest that a parsimonious procedure of limited response practice and positive reinforcement may be effective for the tasks and populations studied.     

How Tillich and Kohut both find courage in faith

Courage has long been considered an important virtue, but throughout most of history its prime location was the battlefield. The chief exemplars of courage were warriors. Theologian Paul Tillich and psychologist Heinz Kohut have both written about courage, and each in his own way contributes to a new and broader understanding of courage, making it more applicable to the battlefields of everyday life. Specifically, they explain why courage is needed to fight emotional and spiritual dangers— and why religious faith vitalizes the self to overcome those dangers. Although the ideas of Tillich and Kohut on courage have been critiqued separately, this essay is the first attempt to integrate the two writers' theories. As psychologists and theologians look for intersections between their disciplines, this case study on courage shows how two prominent representatives in their fields are more compatible than people may realize.     

气质与学业成就的相关及其机制的研究

该研究考察了３１６３名中小学生的气质与学业成就、人格特征的关系。结果说明：１．学业成就与情绪性、内外向性气质特征相关显著,多血质、多血,粘液质和多血－胆汁质是有利于学习的气质类型。２．气质与人格存在着相互依赖性,不同气质类型学生群体具有与其气质相应的典型人格特征。３．要重视学生的气质差异对其人格和学业成就的影响。     

中国人眼对非彩色系表色色差辨别的实验研究

报道了中国人眼对表色色差辨别的实验研究中非彩色系列实验研究结果,并与国外有关结果进行了比较。结果表明,非彩色的明度特性变化,对人眼色差辨别无显著影响,色差值仅随目视评价的感觉等级不同而异。此结果与国外有关报道的结果基本一致。实验结果为中国颜色体系的非彩色系颜色样品提出了色差宽容度：△Ｅ＜１．５。此色差宽容度已被全国颜色标准化技术委员会认定为ＧＳＢＡ２６００３—９４《中国颜色体系》国家标准中颜色样品色差宽容度的技术参数。     

初中生考试成绩归因模式研究

在广泛调查初中生对考试成绩的归因和情感反应的基础上,根据Ｗｅｉｎｅｒ的动机和情绪的归因理论,提出了初中生对考试成绩归因的假设模式,然后运用协方差结构模型的统计方法对这个假设模型进行了检验．虽然最初模型经ｘ２拟合度检验被拒绝,但经设定探查产生的最终模型较合适地拟合了数据,并部分支持了Ｗｅｉｎｅｒ的归因理论．按照这个模型,努力归因一内源性维度对初中生的自信心、期望、成就动机产生积极的影响．     

卒中部位及局部脑血流量对智力的影响

用长谷川智力测定量表法测定了１８９例卒中患者的智力,分析了病变部位、脑萎缩及局部脑血流量（ｒＣＢＦ）对智力的影响．其中６９例患者长谷川分数低于２１．５分．当病变位于左半球时,属痴呆或可疑痴呆者达４２．９％;而病变位于右半球时,仅２３．１％属痴呆及可疑痴呆．ｒＣＢＦ与长谷川分数之间的相关分析显示：左额、右颞及左顶叶的ｒＣＢＦ与长谷川分数呈极显著正相关．提示左半球在智力活动中起主导作用．脑萎缩亦是影响智力的因素．     

试论反应性抑郁形成的心理过程

对反应性抑郁形成的心理过程进行解释的理论中 ,较有影响的有精神分析理论、控制理论、认知理论、自我注意理论和行为主义理论。由于这些理论都仅强调某一个因素的作用 ,因而有一定的局限性。如果综合考虑这些因素 ,同时还考虑到评价、个体扮演角色的多少及其采用的应付方式等因素的作用 ,就可以看出反应性抑郁形成的完整心理过程。
