Glomus tumors can be classified as to their origin in the temporal bone. Those limited to the middle ear and mastoid are referred to as tympanicum tumors while those originating in the jugular bulb are known as jugulare tumors. Diagnostic studies such as polytomes of the temporal bone, retrograde venograms and arteriograms now make it possible for the surgeon to determine not only the origin of the tumor but also the extent of its involvement in the temporal bone and base of the skull. Surgical removal is the treatment of choice for these lesions and radiation therapy is considered palliative and used only in inoperable cases. The theme of this paper is that extensive tympanicum and jugulare tumors can be removed with preservation of the eardrum, ossicles, posterior canal wall and cranial nerves. Twenty‐one patients are presented with summarized case histories. A protocal for diagnosis and a system of operations for the removal of these tumors has been presented in detail.

The effects of reader perspective and cognitive style on encoding, storage, and retrieval processes were investigated in two experiments. In both experiments, subjects read a story from one of two different perspectives or from no directed perspective, recalled the story from either the originally assigned perspective or the alternative perspective, and then took a recognition test on the story. In addition, subjects in both experiments were given an embedded figures test. In Experiment 1, subjects took the recall and recognition test immediately after reading the story and in Experiment 2, the recall and recognition tests were given four days later.In Experiment 1, subjects who read the story from either of the assigned perspectives (burglar or home buyer) correctly recognized more items that were important to the burglar perspective, but subjects who were not assigned a perspective showed no difference in recognition of burglar and home buyer information. It was suggested that perhaps assigning subjects a perspective induces them to think more about the passage and relate it to their world knowledge. The results of the immediate recall test suggest that readers use their knowledge associated with the assigned perspective as a retrieval plan. Individual differences in cognitive style had no effect on subjects' recall or recognition performance in Experiment 1.In Experiment 2, subjects with either high or low scores on the embedded figures test who recalled the story from either of the assigned perspectives (burglar or home buyer) recalled more burglar than home buyer information. Subjects with intermediate scores, however, showed no difference in recall of burglar and home buyer information. These results, together with those of Ex-117
