“…Richards' (1929) view and the view of the New Critics who followed him hold that close textual analysis should serve äs a model for literature instruction. Nevertheless, bis research revealed just how varied individual response can be, and influenced the work of Rosenblatt (1938,1978,1985) and others, including those who have attempted to develop category Systems for organizing expressed response (Purves and Rippere 1968;Squire 1964).…”

The present study examined children's responses to humor in fiction in order to (1) to discover what children find humorous in books they read or in those read to them, (2) to discover how they respond to humorous books, and (3) to understand the implications these responses havefor their comprehension and appreciation of humor and for their reading interests and preferences. A qualitative field study was conductedto study responses of children in one grade 4/5 classroom over afive month period. Data were collected by means of participant observation, Interviews, and analysis of documents. The results revealed that participants appreciated humor related to (1) superiority or sense of accomplishment, (2) physical events and appearances, (3) the scatological and gross t (4) language and wordplay. Children most often responded to books by: (1) retelling or summarizing, (2) reading aloudfrom the text, or (3) offering subjective evaluations. Less frequently, they (1) made personal connections or connections to other books, (2) offered Statements of analysis, or (3) offered interpretations. Responses revealed that some children lacked background knowledge necessary to understand and appreciate potentially humorous material. Sensitivity to more subtle forms of humor was heightened when passages were read aloud by a skilled reader. The importance of reading and sharing humor äs a social process was also revealed by the study's results.

“…For example, right unilateral ECT does not affect performance on a remote memory test for T.V. programs that is a&cted by bilateral treatment [36]. Moreover, when impairment of memory for past events has been observed after unilateral treatment, it is less severe than after bilateral treatment [3X].…”

Recall of remote episodic memory in amnesia

1983

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract-Recall of remote episodic memory was assessed in three types of amnesic patient whose remote semantic memory had been evaluated previously. Patients with Korsakoffs syndrome, case N.A. and patients receiving electroconvulsive therapy all succeeded in recalling specific autobiographical episodes in response to single-word cues, and in many conditions performed as well as control subjects. Their pattern of performance generally paralleled that obtained in previous tests of remote semantic memory. These results argue against a view that amnesia reflects a selective deficit of episodic memory and suggest that the semanticepisodic distinction cannot illuminate the fundamental deficit in amnesia. Nor can the facts of amnesia confirm or deny the validity of this distinction in normal memory.

“…Therapy was attempted in this case in view of the history and in the hope that an alleviation of the respiratory obstruction would allow a successful completion of pregnancy. Cyclophosphamide and vincristine in combination with corticosteroids have been used for the treatment of lymphoreticular tumours in dogs and a reasonable remission rate is recorded (Squire and Burk 1973). The dose rate of cyclophosphamide and vincristine used in this case approximate those used in dogs and man bur corticosteroids were used at low dose in view of the risk to pregnancy.…”
