Mode Of Production

After reading prose passages, undergraduate students retrieved and reported information in either the oral mode or written mode of production. Current information processing models indicate that superordinate concepts are recalled better than subordinate ideas from a text. Thus, dependent variables were number of superordinate concepts recalled, number of subordinate ideas recalled, number of readergenerated elaborations, and time taken to respond in each mode. Recalls were scored against an outline, for presence or absence of superordinate, subordinate, and reader-generated ideas contained in the passages. Total number of superordinate concepts, subordinate ideas, or reader-generated elaborations yielded no differences across modes of reporting. However, initial or ending position of information in the original text produced significantly different results when subjects recalled in the oral mode versus the written mode. For end position topics reported in the oral mode, when one level of concept was recalled without the other, it was always the subordinate concept that was recalled alone. These results have valuable implications for generative learning.

Positive Correlations

Chiang and Atkinson (1976) reported evidence of sex differences in the correlation between information-processing speed and intelligence. For males, speed of information processing correlated positively with intelligence, as indicated by negative correlations between intercept and slope measures and Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores; for females, speed of information processing correlated negatively with intelligence, as indicated by positive correlations between intercept and slope measures and SAT scores. To assess the findings of Chiang and Atkinson, an information-processing test battery and the Wesman Personnel Classification Test were administered to 28 female and 24 male undergraduate students. The results of the present study did not support the sex differences described by Chiang and Atkinson.

Poker Players

Poker is characterized as a “mixed” game: a game that includes both skill and chance components. But what individual differences are characteristic of skilled poker players? No previous study has sought to evaluate the full scope of characteristics contributing to playing skill. The purpose of this study was to fill this void by attempting to comprehensively examining the individual characteristics associated with good poker players. Results from a sample of undergraduate students and community members (n = 100) showed that good players are more likely to be male, to have lower susceptibility to gambling fallacies, a greater tolerance for financial risk, superior social information processing skills, and less openness to aesthetic and imaginative experience. Evidence from this study also indicates that having sufficient levels of most of these attributes is more important for poker success than having exceptional strength in just one or two of these areas.

This paper suggests that the expectancy of an opponent's competence can make players conserve their attention towards the opponent's discrete attributes and make them confirm their expectancy with the attributes. 11 male and 9 female undergraduate students expected to compete with a fictitious subject under three conditions; conditions created by the opponent's record of four wins, four losses, or no record. Subjects made comments about the opponent's discrete abilities, some weaknesses, and some strengths into a tape recorder. Both weaknesses and strengths of the opponent with no record were attended to more than those with records. Concerning the opponents with records, a tendency to reconfirm expectancies was detected, that is, the discrete abilities were likely to be attributed to the record.
