This study assessed the efficiency with which young and older adults of varying field dependence extract information from traffic signs. It also identified some visual attributes of signs which affect recognition time. Two experiments were conducted. In Exp. 1, digitized signs, embedded in rural and urban backgrounds, were presented on a computer monitor. Subjects indicated on which side a target sign had appeared. Analysis showed that recognition times were dependent on age and field-dependence scores. Also, visual backgrounds and spatial frequency of pictographs affected RTs. In Exp. 2, recognition RT to 2 signs with redesigned pictographs was measured as well as time taken to detect signs. The signs showing reduced spatial frequency were the fastest to recognize, although no effect was noticed during detection. The subjects who showed the worst performance when facing the original signs benefitted the most from the modifications.
Hypnotism and the administration of justice-Responsibility .of criminals, moral responsibility, legal responsibility-Philosophers and magistrates : the genesis of the idea of justice-Mitigated responsibility-History of an "irresponsible"-The theories of Lombroso upon the " born criminal"-The genesis of crime ; the part played by imitation ; religious education and the prophylaxis of crime-An army of offenders.Whether the studies in hysteria and hypnotism which were carried out, as we have seen, by Charcot and his pupils with such precision and so evident a love of truth, may be utilized in the cause of justice, is a question full of interest. Can the application of their results enable the judges of an accused person to search the depths of his mind for the truth respecting the acts imputed to him ? This question will lead us by degrees to understand the role of the neurologist-physician in his relations with human justice.But we must confine ourselves at first to the following query. In presence of an inculpated person who persists in denying his participation in a crime or an offence, may not the 'juge d'instruction,' or the president of the Court of Assize send for a doctor and direct him to E 5
Comme la majorité des adultes ont un niveau de compréhension très élevé des images, ils ont du mal à comprendre que l’interprétation des illustrations par des enfants ou adolescents peut poser des problèmes. Ces difficultés se sont manifestées à mesure que la recherche sur l’emploi des images dans l’enseignement a progressé. L’article qui suit passe en revue un certain nombre d’études qui ont voulu cerner les caractéristiques psycho-physiques de l’image. L’hypothèse de travail sous-jacente à cet ouvrage est que l’image pédagogique ne saurait être utilisée avec profit qu’à la condition de bien connaître les particularités qui s’y rattachent. C’est ce que nous tenterons de faire en analysant un certain nombre de paramètres importants pour une véritable compréhension de l’image
