    Designs for sensory-motor tests and other psychological apparatus
    (1966) De Wet, Daniel Richard; Danziger, K; Abramovitz, Arnold
    The design and construction of equipment for both basic psychological research and applied purposes in occupational selection and guidance, ergonomics, and training, is an important area that has hitherto received comparatively little recognition. Apparatus is often taken very much for granted as useful furniture affording some passive assistance in the study of behaviour, but nevertheless remaining something extraneous, that belongs more fittingly in the realm of mechanics. Actually, the design and construction of testing equipment, no less than its application, is very intimately related to the measurement of psychological functions. Behavioural results can be no more sound than the instruments and techniques employed in deriving them. This dissertation attempts to make some contributions of a twofold kind: Technological, comprising detailed illustrated descriptions of some original apparatus designs by the writer, and Behavioural, comprising accounts of research findings obtained with these, mainly on air-pilot candidates for the South African Air Force, and African industrial personnel.

    Individual differences in the reproduction of temporal intervals
    (1964) Du Preez, Peter Derek; Danziger, K
    MAIN AIMS: (i) To determine the reliability of the reproduction of short time intervals by the method of linear arm movement under conditions of free movement (in which the distance and speed of the linear movement was left to the subject's own preference) and controlled movement (in which the distance, and, indirectly, the speed of linear movement was experimentally varied) (Chapter 4). (ii) To investigate relations among time judgements by different methods of reproduction and by verbal estimation (Chapter 5). (iii) To investigate motor time-space relations under conditions of free movement (Chapter 6) and controlled linear arm movement (Chapter 7). (iv) To investigate the effects of short periods of delay on the reproduction of short time intervals (Chapter 8). (v) To investigate the relationship between individual differences in extraversion (measured by the Maudsley Personality Inventory) and individual differences in the reproduction of short time intervals by both free and controlled linear arm movement (Chapter 9). (vi) To investigate the relationship between individual differences in measures of unstructured motor speed, measures of secondary functioning, and reproduction of short time intervals by free linear arm movements (Chapter 10). (vii) To investigate the relationship between individual differences in Taylor Manifest Anxiety score and individual differences in the reproduction of short time intervals by both free and controlled linear arm movement (Chapter 11). (viii) To investigate the relationship between individual differences in time imagery (measured by the Metaphor Preference Scale) and individual differences in the reproduction of short time intervals by both free and controlled linear arm movements (Chapter 12). (ix) To investigate the relationship between individual differences in n Achievement and individual differences in the reproduction of short time intervals by free linear arm movements (Chapter 12).
