Modular solid state behavioral training system

A system of multifunction solid state modules to perform most behavioral training schedules is described. The system takes advantage of integrated circuit size, speed, reliability, economy, and sophistication to overcome the problems inherent in relay systems. However, unlike other approaches with solid state units, knowledge of circuit design is not required. The usual complexity of changing from one program to another is reduced to the simplicity of turning a switch.     

Psychological impact of women's name change at marriage: Literature review and implications for further study

Abstract

Because the custom of wives assuming husbands' surnames at marriage is now in question, we reviewed the published research on the psychological significance of names and name changes. Although names and name changes are relevant psychological variables, little data pertain to the implications of a woman's changing or retaining her surname at marriage. Research on such implications would have relevance for individual personality development, marital and family relationships, and social and cultural systems.
