Lateral preferences as manifest in handedness, footedness, eyedness, and earedness were assessed in 497 college students. Consistent right-handedness was most prevalent in students majoring in the language and literature areas, however, no relationships between academic major and the other indexes of lateral preference were found. This result is discussed in light of implications for cerebral lateralization of language functions.

The topic of this literature review is the effects of non-cognitive, and cognitive skills in college students, and how it correlates to admissions. Assessing personality traits for college students has been high criticized. The examination of college medical students can be strictly autonomous. Studying College medical studying while looking at their admissions, grades, curriculum, dropout rate, and other things like self-disciple, self-control, and optimism can all lead to performance in college.

Communication Performance

Congenitally deaf college students with deaf parents who were native ASL signers (the ASL group) were compared to congenitally deaf college students who learned to sign between the ages of 6 and 12 years and who had hearing parents (the Delayed sign language group) on tests of cognitive skills, the cognitive style of field independence/dependence, and English language presented and produced through spoken, written, and sign modes. A control group of hearing college students was also included in the study. Differential effects of parental deafness and early exposure to manual communication, generally reported for deaf children, were not observed in the cognitive and communication performance of the experimental subjects. Furthermore, the Delayed sign language group performed significantly better than the ASL group on tests of speech perception and speech intelligibility. No differences on tests on cognitive skills were observed between the deaf and hearing subjects or between males and females. However, deaf females in both groups were more field dependent than deaf males and hearing females, while deaf males did not differ from hearing males. A test of speech reception skill was the only predictor of field independence for the ASL group while a test of cognitive skills was the only predictor of field independence for the other two groups.

Preliminary Research

This article summarizes projects and experiences the author shared with Thomas Budzynski over two decades of friendship and collaboration. Examples include a variety of sound and light stimulation systems, including Budzynski's use of such devices in a clinical context; his Hemifield project; and subliminal audio techniques. The author discusses Budzynski's role as director of research for SynchroMed, LLC, a small Seattle-based neurotechnology research and development company. His work there culminated in a two-university study of the effects of light and sound stimulation and GSR biofeedback on the academic performance of college students. Finally, some of Budzynski's ongoing preliminary research ideas are described. These include high/low alpha ratios and their potential application to the enhancement of cognitive skills and Budzynski's “brain brightening” concept, which used multifrequency flicker stimulation intended to evoke broadband shifts in electroencephalogram spectral activation.

This study tested the correspondence between the general semantics notion of intensionality and Ellis' Irrational Beliefs. It was hypothesized that greater intensionality would be associated with greater endorsement of irrational beliefs. 73 introductory college students completed the “Is” of Identity measure of intensionality and an Irrational Belief Questionnaire. As hypothesized, scores reflecting greater intensionality on the “Is” of identity questionnaire were significantly and directly correlated with endorsement of irrational beliefs. These findings support the notion of correspondences between principles of general semantics and those of Rational Emotive Therapy.

Analysis Models

The purpose of the study is to improve the understanding of transfer college students, by examining the patterns in and predictors of cognitive skills development among transfer college students. Moreover, this study examined how such patterns and predictors differ by student’s gender and race within this population. Results found that men and women transfer students have differing cognitive skills gains after transferring to a 4-year institution. Results also indicated that there are differences in the cognitive skills gained in college by transfer students from various races. Finally, using regression analysis, models were developed to predict the variance in cognitive skills development for transfer students. Models were able to 33% and 46% of the variance in cognitive skills gains, when evaluated by gender or ethnicity.
