A Comparison of Aural and Visual Instructional Methodologies Designed to Improve the Intonation Accuracy of Seventh Grade Violin and Viola Instrumentalists.
… methodology: aural and aural/visual, (2) performance tasks: A, B, and C; (3) individual pitches (seven from each of the music tasks), and (4) differences between instrument groups: violin and viola. Sixty-eight seventh grade string students from three string classes of two middle schools …

Individual differences in the recall of performance appraisal feedback
… this goal. It was hypothesized that if recall of performance appraisal feedback was tested in both an immediate and a delayed recall condition, at time one, both theories would predict superior recall of negative information. At time two, competence motivation theory would predict superior recall …

Information processing in narcolepsy
… and the potential lack of sensitivity of routine performance tasks to sleepiness induced changes. The first study reported in this thesis developed a research protocol which allowed subjects with narcolepsy to express states of sleepiness and non sleepiness and to then compare the performance of …

Evaluating the effect of spacesuit glove fit on functional task performance
… activities in a manner that enables acceptable performance and minimizes the risk of injury. Currently, knowledge gaps exist in how to dene optimal suit t, how to more effectively incorporate fit into the suit design process, and how fit is related to performance. While it is understood that fit …

Proactive techniques for correct and predictable Internet routing
… protocols to realize various economic and performance goals. Unfortunately, there is no systematic way to predict how the configuration will affect the behavior of the routing protocol or to determine whether the routing protocol will operate correctly at all. This dissertation develops …

Goal Setting and Physical Task Performance: Investigating the Moderating Effects of Skill Levels and Outcome Difficulty
Guided by the research on cognitive performance tasks (e.g., Wood, Mento, & Locke, 1987), the potential moderating effects of skill and outcome difficulty upon the relationship between specific, difficult goals and physical task performance were examined from an attribute treatment approach. …

The Effects of Caffeine and Expectancy on Short Term Memory
… research on the effects of caffeine on mental performance tasks (especially short term memory tasks) is inconclusive. One possible explanation for this limited understanding is the lack of studies accounting for participant expectancy surrounding caffeine. This study examined the effects of …

Equating discriminability of subjective contours across the visual field requires two scaling factors
Performance in visual tasks can often be equated across eccentricities by proper scaling. The scaling or inverse magnification function (EMF), describes the ratio of peripheral to foveal stimulus size required to equate performance. Tasks and visual brain regions have different IMFs. It is argued …

The Effects of Highlight Color on Immediate Recall in Subjects of Different Cognitive Styles
… than field-independent learners in terms of performance tasks where organizing or restructuring visual information is required. By using color as a mechanism to highlight objects within a visual field, we potentially increase figure-ground separation, which may help facilitate learning for …
