The time required to recognize that two perspective drawings portray objects of the same three-dimensional shape is found to be a linearly increasing function of the angular difference in the portrayed orientations of the two objects.

2,962 Citations1967Daryl J. Bem
A theory of self-percepti on is proposed to provide an alternative interpretation for several of the major phenomena embraced by Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance and to explicate some of the secondary patterns of data that have appeared in dissonance experiments.

1,835 Citations1976David S. Olton, Robert J. Samuelson
Rats were tested on an eight-arm maze in a paradigm of sampling with replacement from a known set of items until the entire set was sampled and there was a small but reliable recency effect with the likelihood of a repetition error increasing with the number of choices since the initial instance.

All statements about the nervous system are theories in the sense that they are not expressed in the same terms and could not be confirmed with the same methods of observation as the facts for which they are said to account.

An operational version of Underwood's distinction between response recall and associative hook-up is applied to the analysis of sequences of freely recalled items for the assessment of clustering and the development of constancies in the sequential ordering of successive free recalls of given stimulus items.

229 Citations1980Herbert L. Roitblat
The delayed matching-to-sample (DMTS) task was used in three experiments to investigate how pigeons code information about sample stimuli and it was found that pigeon DMTS performance depends on a gradual encoding process in which a representation isomorphic with the test stimuli is generated and maintained.

The performances of two infants less than one year old were investigated on fixed-interval schedules and supported Lowe's (1979) suggestion that verbal behavior may be responsible for major differences in the schedule performance of older humans and animals.

The controlled cognitive behavior modification - behavior therapy comparisons show the two types of techniques to be equally effective, and the question remains unresolved pending comparisons involving clinically relevant targets.

141 Citations1976Charles P. Shimp
The functional stimulus present when a reinforcer is delivered may include a subject's short-term memory for the temporal organization of recent events, such as the pattern of its own recent behavior, consistent with a molecular analysis of operant behavior focusing on local patterns of behavior.

118 Citations1983Douglas T. Kenrick, Arthur Dantchik
It is concluded that the present developments have had a stimulating effect on the field but they need to be integrated with the traditional personological goals of developing taxonomy of individuals and developing a more satisfactory theory of the whole organism within which to embed the authors' minitheories.
