    Emotionality and intelligence in the hooded rat as a function of different periods of post-weaning rearing in a "meaningful" environment
    (1971) Vasiljkovich, Alexandra; Radloff, W P
    4 groups of Ss ( N = 24 ) were exposed for different lengths of time to a situation where the variable of "meaningfulness" (in terms of contingency of food and water presentation on behaviour) was manipulated. Predicted differences in weight gain and emotionality but not in problem-solving ability were found. Certain shortcomings of the design as well as the inadequacy of testing tools presently available, were discussed as possible confounding factors. It was concluded that the experimental analysis of behaviour framework offered a useful alternative approach in investigating problems of early development.

    The role of rhythmic factors in the perception of time
    (1971) Oxtoby, Richard Markham; Radloff, W P
    In the past, research into the perception of time and the perception of pattern have proceeded independently. In the present study, the effect of the patterning of stimuli on the perception of time is investigated, and a theory of time perception elaborated. An experiment designed to investigate some of the factors postulated in this theory is described. It is suggested that really significant results can only be expected from a close analysis of the performance of individuals. Such an analysis of the data from this experiment provides definite evidence for the existence of some of the processes postulated in the theory.
