“…The open-field defecation and activity data were subjected to a biometrical genetic analysis following the classic method (Katzenmeyer et al, 1969). With defecation raw scores, a significant Genotype by Environment interaction was indicated from the scores of the nonsegregating genotypes (Fmax = 3 Al, p< .05).…”

“…The best fitting model is chosen by a combination of criteria. In most published applications, models have been fit with a least-squares error criterion (Chandler 1969;Reed 1976), with the quality of the fit assessed by goodness-of-fit statistics, such as adjusted-R 2 (Judd and McClelland 1989). Model fits are performed for the averaged data for expository purposes, but it is essential to model each participant's data separately (and by items), allowing evaluation of the consistency of parameter estimates across participants (and items), and inferential tests of significance.…”

Judgements have been key to theory building in linguistics, yet judgements are inherently susceptible to a tradeoff between the speed and accuracy with which they are made. This chapter highlights insights gained by using the speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT) technique to model this tradeoff. We focus on how SAT evidence has been instrumental in integrating sophisticated memory models into psycholinguistic theory. We describe the SAT procedure and explain how SAT modeling disentangles accuracy from time course of processing. We review SAT evidence that bears on key linguistic issues, with examples involving long-distance dependencies, garden-path sentences, and anaphora resolution. Additional areas where SAT has been informative, such as scalar implicatures, are also briefly noted. Challenges and promising future directions are discussed.

“…(1961), Bruell (1962), and Newell (1967) uses two inbred strains (Pi and P 2 ), their FI, F 2 , and backcrosses. The analysis of the classic method employed here is derived from Cavalli's (1952) joint test for epistasis, and is explained more fully by Katzenmeyer, Whitney, and Newell (1969). Briefly, genetic parameters estimate genetic influences due to additive genetic effects, d, dominant genetic effects, h, and epistatic effects, i, j, and 1.…”

The classic, partial-classic, and diallel combining ability analyses were applied to behavioral measurements of activity and shock-elicited activity made on mice. The analyses for males indicated that additive but not dominant gene action influenced activity and significant general combining ability effects were present. The mode of inheritance of activity for females was more complex involving additive gene action and some specific combining ability effects. Shock-elicited activity was shown to be genetically influenced to a marked degree with complex types of gene action. The mode of inheritance of behavior traits was often specific to one particular cross or sex and generalizations based upon one method involving only a few genotypes were unsuccessful. Theoretical and methodological problems regarding scaling assumptions, detection of genetic variance, estimation of number of effective genetic factors, and choice of analytical techniques were discussed.
