"Development of Species Identification in Ducklings: I. Nature of Perceptual Deficit Caused by Embryonic Auditory Deprivation": Erratum.

Reports an error in the original article by Gilbert Gottlieb (Journal of Comparative & Physiological Psychology, 1975[Jul], Vol 89[5], 387-399). The eighth line in the right-hand column on page 392 should read "hatched about 9 hr earlier ...." (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record 1975-31344-001.) Reports results of 2 experiments with over 150 Peking ducklings. In simultaneous choice tests with normal and filtered maternal calls, devocal-isolated Ss were much more likely than vocal-communal Ss to select the mallard maternal call in which the higher frequencies were severely attenuated, thus indicating their relative insensitivity to the higher frequency components of the maternal call. However, the devocal Ss were as adept as vocal Ss in selecting the normal mallard maternal call when it was pitted against a low-frequency attenuated mallard call. Thus, the perceptual deficiency resulting from embryonic and postnatal auditory deprivation is selective in the sense of being relegated to the higher frequency components of the maternal call. Devocalization prevents the embryo and hatchling from hearing their own vocalizations, all of which happen to be in the high-frequency range (greater than 1,500 Hz).

"Maternal Stress and Pituitary-Adrenal Manipulations During Pregnancy in Rats: Effects on Morphology and Sexual Behavior of Male Offspring"; Corrections to Chapman and Stern.

Reports an error in the original article by Robert H. Chapman and Judith Stern (Journal of Comparative and Physiological Psychology, 1978, Vol. 92[6], pp. 1074-1083). On p. 1081, paragraph 2, line 27, "handling" should read "group housing." Reference Note 3 should be a Reference entry: Dunlap, J. L., Zadina, J. E., & Gougis, G. Prenatal stress interacts with prepubertal social isolation to reduce male copulatory behavior. (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record 1980-08973-001.) Investigated whether the demasculinizing and feminizing effects of prenatal stress (i.e., stress applied to the mother during pregnancy) in rats reported previously by I. L. Ward (1972) are mediated by activation of the maternal pituitary-adrenal axis. Neither whole-body restraint, with or without hyperthermia, nor ACTH treatment during the last third of gestation had any reliable effect on masculine or feminine sexual behavior in male Sprague-Dawley offspring, although these treatments produced maternal pathology and evidence of maternal adrenocorticoid release. Significant littermate similarity was found for almost every morphological and behavioral measure. Failure to control for the litter variable may account for many previously reported effects of prenatal stress on sexual behavior in rats. The discrepancy between the present and earlier findings is discussed in terms of methodological and theoretical considerations. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

"Estrogen-Progesterone Regulation of Nest-Building and Incubation Behavior in Ovariectomized Ring Doves (Streptopelia risoria)": Erratum.

Reports an error in the original article by Mei-Fang Cheng and Rae Silver (Journal of Comparative & Physiological Psychology, 1975[Jan], Vol 88[1], 256-263). The address for the request for reprints should have read "Institute of Animal Behavior, Rutgers University, Newark, New Jersey 07102." (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record 1975-08949-001.) Determined the role of ovarian hormones in the induction of nest-building (tucking) and incubation behavior in female doves by systemic injections of estrogen, or progesterone, or estrogen combined with progesterone, or oil in 40 reproductively experienced, ovariectomized Ss. Combined estrogen and progesterone treatment was the most effective hormone regimen for eliciting both behavior patterns in females and also facilitated these behaviors in their 40 untreated mates. Differences in role of the gonadal progesterone in male and female doves are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

"Facilitative and disruptive effects of prior exposure to shock on subsequent avoidance performance": Erratum.

Reports an error in "Facilitative and disruptive effects of prior exposure to shock on subsequent avoidance performance" by H. Anisman and T. Waller (Journal of Comparative and Physiological Psychology, 1972[Jan], Vol 78[1], 113-122). On page 114, the sentence beginning on Line 56, Column 2, should read: "Thirty seconds after placement in the compartment one half of the rats were given 10 CS (light and tone) presentations in which the CS was 9 sec. in duration, while the remaining rats received 10 CS-US presentations in which the US was a 1-ma. shock (constant current, ac) 2 sec. in duration." (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record 1972-22565-001.) Subjected 40 male rats from each of 5 strains to 10 signaled inescapable 1-ma shock presentations. Shock facilitated subsequent 1-way and shuttle-avoidance performance (1-ma shock) in Charles River hooded, Wistar, Holtzman, and Sasco Ss, but did not significantly affect avoidance learning in Sprague-Dawley Ss. A 2nd experiment employing 120 male Holtzman rats indicated that inescapable shock of 1 ma. facilitated subsequent 1-way and shuttle-avoidance performance, while exposure to shock of 2 ma. facilitated 1-way and interfered with shuttle-avoidance performance. Movement ratings recorded during both CS and intershock intervals in pretraining were found to be good predictors of subsequent avoidance performance in preshocked Ss. Results are interpreted in terms of response repertoire changes produced by shock in conjunction with the defense reaction necessary in acquiring the avoidance response.

"Home environment, self-concept, and academic achievement: A causal modeling approach": Correction to Song and Hattie.

Reports an error in "Home environment, self-concept, and academic achievement: A causal modeling approach" by In-sub Song and John Hattie (Journal of Educational Psychology, 1984[Dec], Vol 76[6], 1269-1281). The caption to Figure 3 on page 1271 is incorrect. "SOSC = social self-concept" should read "NASC = nonacademic self-concept." In addition, on page 1274 in the Results section, the reference to McDonald & Leong (1974) should have been deleted. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 1985-15818-001.) Investigated the relation between home environment, self-concept, and academic achievement in 2,297 14-15 yr old Koreans. Data on Ss was collected in 4 different samples to test 4 structural equation models. Group 1 consisted of 537 males, Group 2 consisted of 537 males, Group 3 consisted of 611 females, and Group 4 consisted of 612 females. Results show that over the 4 samples, self-concept was a mediating variable between home environment and academic achievement. Results did not support the commonly held view that home environment exerts direct effects on academic achievement. Social status indicators had indirect effects on self-concept via family psychological characteristics. Academic self-concept affected academic achievement more strongly than did presentation-of-self or social self-concept. (51 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Erratum to Widom.

In the article "Interpersonal Conflict and Cooperation in Psychopaths" by Cathy Spatz Widom (Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1976, Vol. 85, No. 3, pp. 330-334; see record 1976-24264-001), a line of type was incorrectly placed. On page 332, in the section Willingness to Resist Temptation, the first paragraph should read: Rapoport and Chammah (1965) proposed a number of conditional probability measures derivable from PD game responses. Among these measures, they defined x as the probability that a player will choose C (cooperative) following a trial on which both players chose C [p(Cn/CCn-1)] and suggested a "willingness to continue tacit collusion...associated with a willingness to resist the temptation to defect, which is always present" (p. 72).

"Effects of Reinforcement Omission on Rats with Lesions in the Amygdala": Erratum.

Reports an error in "Effects of Reinforcement Omission on Rats with Lesions in the Amygdala" by Peter G. Henke (Journal of Comparative & Physiological Psychology, 1973[Jul], Vol 84[1], 187-193). On page 188, the sentence beginning on Line 20, Column 1 should read: "Prior to any behavioral training, six animals received bilateral RF lesions in the amygdaloid complex." (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record 1974-06538-001.) Trained 12 male Wistar rats with bilateral lesions in the amygdala to barpress on an FI schedule of reinforcement. During test trials, when reinforcement was occasionally omitted, response rates of 12 controls increased in the subsequent interval, whereas lesioned Ss showed no significant change. In Exp II Ss received fixed-ratio reinforcement on 1 lever, which was followed by a time-out period and fixed-ratio reinforcement on a 2nd lever. Results indicate that after reinforcement was withheld Ss with damage in the amygdala did not increase responding in the subsequent time-out period, whereas controls showed significantly higher rates. Differential latencies to initiation of response after nonreinforcement were also found. The deficits following brain damage are attributed to a reduction in nonreinforcement-induced frustration.

"Dimensions of career indecision": Correction to Vondracek, Hostetler, Schulenberg, and Shimizu.

Reports an error in "Dimensions of career indecision" by Fred W. Vondracek, Michelle Hostetler, John E. Schulenberg and Kazuaki Shimizu (Journal of Counseling Psychology, 1990[Jan], Vol 37[1], 98-106). Editorial error resulted in several misstatements. On page 98, second column, in the 11th line of the second paragraph, the word students ought to read studies; on page 101, in the 9th line, the word Behaviors ought to read Barriers. On page 102, in line 5 of the first paragraph, the reference ought to be to the top left panel of Figure 2. The second paragraph ought to begin with the reference to the top right panel of Figure 2. Also on page 102, the sentence that begins on line 5 of the first paragraph was intended to read, as follows: Two of the groups of girls changed significantly in the expected direction: Group 2 (decided-undecided) significantly increased and Group 3 (undecided-decided) significantly decreased over time. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 1990-13462-001.) Recent studies have clarified the factor structure of the Career Decision Scale (CDS), thereby permitting the construction of 4 linearly independent scales to measure dimensions of career indecision. The CDS was administered to 465 junior and senior high school students. The study examined whether the CDS total score and the 4 subscales were related to the students' career decision status, grade level, and gender. Data were collected twice, 6 months apart, to study whether changes in decision status were accompanied by changes in the CDS total score and the 4 subscales and whether these changes differed according to gender or grade level. In addition, a subsample was followed for 3 years to examine long-term change. The results demonstrated the utility of using factor-based subscales to create a typology of career indecision. Many significant differences on the various indecision scales were found to be due to gender and to career decision status but not to grade level.

"Drinking patterns and dating violence among college students": Correction to Williams and Smith.

Reports an error in "Drinking patterns and dating violence among college students" by Janice G. Williams and J. Patrick Smith (Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, 1994[Mar], Vol 8[1], 51-53). The first author's name in the second entry of the References on page 53 was misspelled. The correct reference appears in the erratum. Likewise, the citation on page 52 in the first paragraph in the Materials and Procedure section should read "Cahalan, Cisin, & Crossley, 1985." (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 1994-40914-001.) Investigated the relationships between 221 college students' (1) alcohol use, (2) perceived antecedents and consequences of alcohol use, and (3) experience with dating violence. It was hypothesized that the highest level of dating violence would occur in those Ss who reported drinking moderate amounts of alcohol and having the expectation that drinking would have negative effects on their behavior. Ss completed a questionnaire measuring the 3 factors being studied. Results of a multiple regression analysis supported the hypothesis: Higher dating violence was predicted by lower use of alcohol and by stronger expectancies of negative effects of alcohol.

Erratum to Tesser and Paulhus.

Reports an error in the article, "Toward a Causal Model of Love," by Abraham Tesser and Delroy Paulhus (Journal of Personality & Social Psychology, 1976[Dec], Vol 34[6], 1095-1105). There are six incorrect entries in Table 2 (p. 1101). In addition, on page 1104, left-hand column, the sentence beginning on the 15th line of the paragraph headed Reproducing the Correlations reads: This value was comfortably small, .027 z units. The sentence should be changed to read: This value was comfortably small, .039 z units. Details underlying these corrections are available from the authors.(The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record 1978-31808-001.) Under a proposed systems model of love, (a) thought about other and love for other have a positive causal impact on one another, (b) dating frequency and love have a positive causal impact on one another, and (c) dating has a positive impact on "reality constraints," which, in turn, (d) have a negative impact on love. Questionnaires administered 2 wks apart to a 202-member panel of college students (106 females and 96 males) served as the data collection vehicle. Temporal order of the measures was used to determine causal direction, and path analysis was used to analyze these correlational data. Results support Hypotheses (a), (b), and (d) but do not support Hypothesis (c). (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

On the Acoustic Basis of Species Identification in Wood Ducklings (Aix sponsa): Erratum.

Reports an error in the original article by Gilbert Gottlieb (Journal of Comparative & Physiological Psychology, 1974[Dec], Vol 87[6], 1038-1048). The time base for the Sonagrams in Figure 7 on page 1046 should be .5 and 1.0 sec instead of 1.0 and 2.0 sec. (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record 1975-11335-001.) Tested the hypothesis that frequency modulation is an important feature of the acoustic basis of species identification by synthesizing a call that was as attractive to maternally naive wood ducklings as the natural wood duck maternal call itself. 3 experiments were performed with over 250 wood ducklings hatched in the laboratory from eggs collected in the wild. The critical acoustic feature of the wood duck maternal call is a descending frequency modulation. It is suggested that the attractiveness of the wood duck maternal call to maternally naive ducklings derives, at least partially, from prior exposure of the ducklings to their own embryonic vocalizations, each of which is composed of a very pronounced descending frequency modulation.

"Temporal measures of vocalization: Some methodological considerations": Correction to Swingle.

Reports an error in "Temporal measures of vocalization: Some methodological considerations" by Paul G. Swingle (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 1984[Dec], Vol 47[6], 1263-1280). The copyright notice was inadvertently omitted. The notice that should have appeared on the first page of this article is provided in the erratum. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 1985-11098-001.) Five studies--with 164 university students, 56 military personnel, and 4 elderly persons--examined methodological issues associated with temporal measures of vocalization. The simple measures of phonation, silence, and interrupt and measures of silence relative to phonation were found to be sensitive to task and emotional factors and were stable across experience. A procedure for analyzing interviews is presented, and potential applications of the temporal measures are discussed. (46 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

"What is learned during automatization? The role of attention in constructing an instance": Correction to Logan and Etherton.

Reports an error in "What is learned during automatization? The role of attention in constructing an instance" by Gordon D. Logan and Joseph L. Etherton (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 1994[Sep], Vol 20[5], 1022-1050). In the aforementioned article, the Appendix on page 1050 was incomplete. The complete Appendix is presented in the erratum. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 1995-04305-001.) Seven experiments with 372 Ss were conducted to examine the role of attention in automatization. Ss searched 2-word displays for members of a target category in divided-attention, focused-attention, and dual-task conditions. The main issue was whether attention conditions would affect what Ss learned about co-occurrences of the words in the displays. The attention hypothesis, derived from the instance theory of automaticity, predicts learning of co-occurrences in divided-attention and dual-task conditions in which Ss attend to both words but not in focused-attention conditions in which Ss only attend to 1 word. The data supported the attention hypothesis and therefore the instance theory.
