“…To measure proof-reading performance, a proof-reading task was constructed that required participants to find three types of errors: spelling, grammar, and APA format errors. From a psychological journal article on taste potentiation in mice (Davis, Bailey, Becker, & Grover, 1990), the abstract, introduction, method, results, and discussion sections were extracted to form a text comprising 1,126 words (6,073 characters) distributed over 107 lines. After revising the text to conform with British spelling and APA format (American Psychological Association, 2001), the text was modified by inserting 30 errors: 11 spelling errors, 9 grammar errors, and 10 APA format errors.…”

Investigating problem-solving performance, Ishida (2005) found high levels of perfectionism were associated with lower efficiency. Aiming to replicate and further explore this finding, the present study investigated how two dimensions of perfectionism (high standards, discrepancy between expectations and performance) predicted efficiency in proof-reading performance. N = 96 students completed a proof-reading task involving the detection of spelling, grammar, and format errors. When error-detection performance was subjected to signal detection analysis, high standards correlated positively with the number of incorrectly detected errors

In an investigation of perfectionism and proof-reading performance differentiating between perfectionist strivings and perfectionist concerns, Stoeber and Eysenck (2008) found that only perfectionist strivings (but not perfectionist concerns) showed significant correlations with proof-reading performance: a negative correlation with efficiency (accuracy divided by time invested in the task) and a positive correlation with false alarms (incorrectly detected errors).The aim of the present study was to expand on Stoeber and Eysenck's study investigating 156 students using different measures of perfectionism and a different text for proof-reading.Results replicated Stoeber and Eysenck's main findings: Perfectionist strivings showed a negative correlation with efficiency and a positive correlation with false alarms. In addition, they showed a positive correlation with invested time and a negative correlation with response bias against reporting errors. In contrast, perfectionist concerns did not show any significant correlations with proof-reading performance. The findings corroborate the association between perfectionist strivings and reduced efficiency. Moreover, they further confirm the importance of (a) differentiating perfectionist strivings and perfectionist concerns, (b) using signal detection analysis, and (c) considering both absolute performance and relative performance (efficiency) when investigating the relationships of perfectionism with performance.

Three dependent measures-a taste reactivity test, a two-bottle preference test, and a one-bottle extinction test-were used to investigate the conditioning effects of pairing a taste/taste compound with LiCl-induced illness in rats. Avoidance of saccharin consumption in the one-bottle test was attenuated if saccharin and denatonium were paired during illness training (overshadowing). Also, saccharin was found to be more palatable if paired with denatonium during training as reflected by aversive (but not ingestive) taste reactivity measures. It is argued that overshadowing was reflected mainly by a modulation of aversive taste reactivity behavior with little influence on ingestive taste reactivity. The results are discussed in terms of current palatability issues, and it is suggested that applying taste reactivity tests to phenomena associated with taste avoidance learning (e.g., overshadowing or potentiation) may further our understanding of the mechanisms that guide such learning.
