Abstract/Description
-
The effects of retinal and objective orientation on recognition of novel stimuli were examined in a two-phase experiment. In Phase 1 novel stimuli were presented to tilted subjects placed in either an intentional learning condition (they were instructed to remember the stimuli) or an incidental learning condition (they received no instruction regarding memory). In Phase 2 the same stimuli were randomly mixed with distractor stimuli in a recognition test. Stimuli were presented to upright...
Show moreThe effects of retinal and objective orientation on recognition of novel stimuli were examined in a two-phase experiment. In Phase 1 novel stimuli were presented to tilted subjects placed in either an intentional learning condition (they were instructed to remember the stimuli) or an incidental learning condition (they received no instruction regarding memory). In Phase 2 the same stimuli were randomly mixed with distractor stimuli in a recognition test. Stimuli were presented to upright subjects in either their objectively upright orientation (the same orientation relative to gravity as in Phase 1) or their retinally upright orientation (the same orientation relative to subjects' tilted retinas as in Phase 1). The instructions produced no effect on recognition. Evidence that both retinal and objective orientation influenced recognition was obtained in both conditions. Alternative interpretations hypothesized that: (1) dual memory representations of Phase 1 stimuli, referenced to both retinal and objective upright, were formed and (2) a single memory representation of Phase 1 stimuli, referenced to an axis intermediate to retinal and objective upright, was formed.

Abstract/Description

This study explored the effectiveness of the Manpower Development and Training Program in Broward County, Florida. A telephone survey was conducted with graduates from MDTA classes of 1970, and interviews were held with counselors, teachers, labor supervisors and analysts. The study disclosed that forty percent of the graduates had never worked in the occupations for which they were trained; thirty-nine percent had worked in the occupation, yet left for various reasons. The researcher...

A telephone survey was conducted with graduates from MDTA classes of 1970, and interviews were held with counselors, teachers, labor supervisors and analysts. The study disclosed that forty percent of the graduates had never worked in the occupations for which they were trained; thirty-nine percent had worked in the occupation, yet left for various reasons. The researcher concluded that the program needed improvement. Suggestions included: implementing the skills center approach; closer coordination between employment service counselors and vocational instructors; and concentrated job placement effort prior to training completion.
