TL;DR: This article showed that serial choice RT is longer on the trials where the stimulus is different from the preceding one, and the influence on this phenomenon of the duration of the time-lag between the end of the response and the arrival of the next signal was examined.

TL;DR: It is concluded that, in spite of a number of methodological problems, the time seems ripe to apply the estimation procedure as a more general measurement technique in situations where expectancy appears to be important.

TL;DR: G. A. Kohnstamm et al. as mentioned in this paper expose des resultats nouveaux concernam l’apprentissage de structures logiques, and propose to renvoyer lc lccteus aux travaux originaux and supposerons qu’il s-y referera de luimknc pour les details experimentaux ou pour leur discussion.

TL;DR: In this article, the general criterion question regarding small group behavior, namely, "How is the group doing?" was expanded to include questions concerning the total behavior of group members as they worked on a task, i.e., their interpersonal behavior, their goal-contributory behavior as well as those behaviors directly related to task performance.

TL;DR: The addition of a self-concept variable was expected to refine the prediction of the Aronson and Carlsmith effect: subjects with a negative self- Concept would in general strive for a poorer performance than Subjects with a positive self- concept.

TL;DR: The findings show that attitude scales such as the T-scale are not influenced to any significant extent by response styles such as indecisiveness, or agreeing and disagreeing, and that people respond to the content of attitude scale items when they are not ambiguous, difficult or badly worded.

TL;DR: The results indicate the inferences concerned with the perceptual functioning of either brain-injured or normal individuals must take instructional conditions into account.

TL;DR: Stimuli acquire secondary reinforcing properties by association with primary reinforcement, which means that they act as signals that primary reinforcement is forthcoming and that which acquires primary reinforcement and maintains the primary-secondary association.
