Two experiments on the learning and transfer of the hypothesis testing strategy of testing easy-to-test hypotheses first were conducted. The first experiment found that this strategy could be discovered and used in a very simple fault diagnosis task but not in a slightly more complicated task. Subjects who learned the strategy in the simple task were able to transfer it to the more complicated task. The second experiment showed far transfer: The learning of this principle of hypothesis testing transferred to a task sharing no surface features with the training task. It is concluded that it is worthwhile to train people on the use of fault diagnosis strategies.

The efficacy of small group instructional programs in classificatory, seriation, and combined class/series skills was evaluated for a sample of 60 urban, middle-class 4- to 5-year-old children in a transfer of training design. Significant specific transfer effects were found for the seriation instructional condition whereas little differences were found for the classification, verbal intelligence, and far transfer conservation task measures. Sex differences, school location effects, teacher biases, and pretesting effects were generally absent. The apparent feasibility of seriation skill instruction for preschool aged children and the general non-effectiveness of the classificatory and combined instructional conditions, particularly insofar as far transfer effects are concerned, suggests a nonunitary picture of cognitive functioning during the transitionary phases between preoperational and concrete operations period thought.

The Relationship

As for this problem that the equipment/devices maintenance and troubleshooting of new avionics systems is very difficult, the fault Diagnosis Method based on testing is proposed. This method is used to build fault diagnosis model and generate diagnostic testing strategy by establishing the relationship between the fault and test, and then the automatic test equipment is used to test for fault under the reasoning of the diagnosis inference, finally, fault conclusions are drawn. Application shows that this method is feasible, fault location accuracy is high and application prospect is broad.

Complicated Task

The aim of the research was to determine how the reaction time and the movement speed depend on the complexity of the task. The research was carried out in the Laboratory of Human Motor Control at the Lithuanian Academy of Physical Education (LAPE) applying the analyzer of dynamic parameters of human leg and arm movement (DPA-1; Patent No. 5251; 2005 08 25), which is used for the qualitative estimation of the dynamic parameters of one arm and leg target movement, two arms and legs coordinated and independent target movements, when the resistance power and target are coded with different programmable parameters. We registered the reaction time (RT) and the movement speed (Vmax) performing simple tasks of reaction and speed and a complicated task of accuracy. Research results indicated that performing a complicated task the reaction is slower, and the maximal movement speed is lower than performing a simple task. However, it does not mean that movement speed will be higher when the reaction is faster performing a simple task. The data obtained confirmed Hick’s law proposing that reaction time is directly proportional to the complexity of the task because performing the tasks of different levels of complexity the reaction time values of the right arm were statistically significantly different (p < 0.001). After performing the analysis of variation coefficients we established that the highest coefficient of variation was received from the indices of movement speed performing a speed task (23%), and the lowest — of reaction time performing a reaction task (10%). The obtained results confirm other authors’ suggestion that performing a complicated task the reaction time is a more steadily controlled index than maximal movement speed. A strong correlation was determined between the reaction time values performing the tasks of reaction and accuracy, but there was no statistical link between the maximal speed values performing the tasks of speed and accuracy. This indicates that if the movement speed is high performing a simple task, it does not mean that it will be high performing a complicated task. Conclusions: 1) performing a complicated task reaction time is longer, and maximal movement speed is lower than performing a simple task; 2) the complexity of the task more impacts the dispersion of results of the movement speed than of the reaction time; 3) high speed performing a simple task does not indicate that it will be high performing a complicated task.Keywords: reaction time, movement speed, the complexity of the task.

Research testing hypotheses derived from evolutionary psychology about sex differences in romantic jealousy has been hampered by a confirmationist hypothesis testing strategy. We report three studies conducted in Austria and Australia that employ a conditional hypothesis testing strategy to investigate variations in sex differences in jealousy under different relationship conditions, namely opposite-sex and same-sex infidelity among heterosexual individuals. In Study 1, heterosexual women found a same-sex sexual infidelity more aversive than heterosexual men did, and this difference persisted after adjusting for other likely predictors of this difference. In Studies 2 and 3, enhanced sexual jealousy in heterosexual men was not observed when the rival was the same sex as his partner. This effect was reversed for women, who were more distressed by sexual versus emotional infidelity when the rival was the same sex as her partner. An explanation for this set of findings, based on sex differences in sexual and attachment motivation, is proposed.

Transfer of training from a pursuit rotor to an epicycloid pursuit rotor was assessed by means of a response surface methodology (RSM) central-composite design. Number of training trials, time between training trials, and tracking speed of the training task were combined in a three-factor, RSM central-composite design. Multiple-regression prediction equations relating these three independent variables to trials to criterion on the epicycloid pursuit rotor were calculated for both an unreplicated and replicated RSM design. A representative first-order response surface was plotted for the replicated design. The results are discussed in terms of necessary RSM central-composite design modifications and the overall applicability of using RSM in transfer of training research.

Mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) survivors claim advantage in retraining their brains with neuroplasticity based cognitive training after trauma. Significant growth in computer based cognitive rehabilitation is spurred on by positive research findings on neuroplasticity and advances in accessible computer technology. Drawbacks include limitations on the part of both patient and therapist in regards to time expenditure, cost of therapy, ease of use/learning curve, and the availability of long-term studies in regards to near and far transfer of training. MTBI patients may have sustained motor, visual, auditory, and chronic pain difficulties that complicate computer use. Benefits and barriers as perceived by patients and psychologists who are using the interventions for patient rehabilitation are critical. MTBI patient and therapist feedback concerning efficacy, usability accessibility, and satisfaction are needed to realize this form of rehabilitation.
