Human Movement Response

12 cheerleaders and drum majorettes gave significantly more exhibitionistic M on the Rorschach than a control group of coeds matched on total number of M. However, the difference between these groups on the Hand Test EXH score was even more pronounced, leading to the tentative conclusions that: (1) M tends to be expressed behaviorally but that (2) M per se is not a necessary condition for the occurrence of organized and predictable behavior. These findings were discussed within the context of Structural Analysis.

8 student drama majors gave significantly more exhibitionistic M on the Rorschach than a matched control group. Results were construed as supporting Piotrowski's interpretation of the human movement response. Additional connotations of M were suggested.

The Difference

Fasting 24-hour exposures of altitude-acclimated rats (380 mm Hg, 18,000 ft. simulated) to ground level pressure (750 mm Hg) at either cold (3°C), neutral (24°C), or hot (35°C) temperatures seldom resulted in return of their metabolic functions to preacclimative ‘normalcy.’ Although the control and altitude-acclimated groups both were accustomed to neutral temperatures (24° and 26°C), quantitative differences at ground level and altitude occurred in various indices of water, mineral and nitrogen metabolism. Of the 32 physiologic variables studied, only 4 (ratio of urine volume/ water intake, and urinary excretion of potassium, creatinine and glycine) failed to differentiate the responses of the altitude- and ground-accustomed rats. The temperature response curves of the altitude group tended to parallel the corresponding ones for the control group, but most variables were on higher or lower planes. The difference in plane resulted either from the effects of the return to ground level pressure, or from nonreversible effects of acclimation to altitude per se.

The meaning of the human movement response ( M) to inkblot stimuli was explored in terms of correlations between children's M productions and the attributes of their parents in 119 families. M scores were available for the family members; and for each parent there were also measures of personality, values, and childrearing attitudes. A number of the parent-child correlational patterns were congruent with Rorschach's theories concerning the significance of M.

Fitts’ law predicts the human movement response time for a specific task through a simple linear formulation, in which the intercept and the slope are estimated from the task’s empirical data. This research was motivated by our pilot study, which found that the linear regression’s essential assumptions are not satisfied in the literature. Furthermore, the keystone hypothesis in Fitts’ law, namely that the movement time per response will be directly proportional to the minimum average amount of information per response demanded by the particular amplitude and target width, has never been formally tested. Therefore, in this study we developed an optional formulation by combining the findings from the fields of psychology, physics, and physiology to fulfill the statistical assumptions. An experiment was designed to test the hypothesis in Fitts’ law and to validate the proposed model. To conclude, our results indicated that movement time could be related to the index of difficulty at the same amplitude. The optional formulation accompanies the index of difficulty in Shannon form and performs the prediction better than the traditional model. Finally, a new approach to modeling movement time prediction was deduced from our research results.
