The Iowa State College Reasoning Test

In order to arrive at the point of this paper on the subject, The Iowa State College Reasoning Test it is necessary to describe briefly the other tests of which it is one in the series. The psychological test which has been given this year to the Freshman class of Iowa State College is a modified Alpha. The Alpha was chosen as a basis on which to construct a new form for the reason that it has given consistently higher correlations than it has been possible to secure with any other test. In the modified form, Arithmetic, the Synonym and Antonym, the Disarranged Sentence, the Number Series, the Analogies and the Information tests remain very much the same as they appeared in the original form. The easier exercises at the beginning of each of these tests have been advanced to the bottom of the preceding page to serve in the capacity of fore-exercises which gives the student a preliminary practice before beginning the test proper. (After the fashion of the National Intelligence Test.) More difficult exercises were added toward the close of each test with the purpose of making the series more difficult

A Parent That Needeth Not to be Ashamed

If I should be permitted to evaluate, in a word, the answers which have been given in these pages to the question: Who is responsible for the child? I should say that all of the contributors have been correct. Everyone who has reached the age of discretion and judgment is responsible for the child. No one can escape the responsibility which all the powers that be-biology, civilization, God- have placed upon him

The Effect of Size of Peg and Form Boards upon the Performance Scores of Young Children

Sylvester, in 1913, characterized the form board test as one that appeals to the child\u27s interest, affording him a short and fascinating task which calls for his best effort and helps to free him from the fear and self-consciousness which often interfere seriously in a mental examination. The inclusion of the form board test in certain well-known scales and its serving as the basis of a number of extensive studies bear testimony to the truth of Sylvester\u27s evaluation. Further study of the form-board may thus be justified on the basis that a still greater refinement in technique may be attainable

The Food Selections of Nursery School Children

The observations herewith reported were made during the Fall and Winter quarters of the school year 1929 and 1930 at the Nursey School of the Iowa State College. Twenty-seven children served as subjects during the first quarter and twenty-four for the second. Twenty-one were on the roll for both quarters

The Evaluation of the Musical Capacity of Nursery School Children

The elements in the situation which focused attention upon the possibility of evaluating the musical capacity of nursery school children by a method which might have some approach to reliability were three-fold: an enrollment of thirty-one children, a number of which were almost invariably eager for and interested in the musical phase of the nursery school program; a teacher whose musical ability was considerably above the average, with a professional interest in a problem of this kind; and a psychologist on the staff also interested in the problem

Optimization of a 96-Well Electroporation Assay for Postnatal Rat CNS Neurons Suitable for Cost–Effective Medium-Throughput Screening of Genes that Promote Neurite Outgrowth

Following an injury, central nervous system (CNS) neurons show a very limited regenerative response which results in their failure to successfully form functional connections with their original target. This is due in part to the reduced intrinsic growth state of CNS neurons, which is characterized by their failure to express key regeneration-associated genes (RAGs) and by the presence of growth inhibitory molecules in CNS environment that form a molecular and physical barrier to regeneration. Here we have optimized a 96-well electroporation and neurite outgrowth assay for postnatal rat cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) cultured upon an inhibitory cellular substrate expressing myelin-associated glycoprotein or a mixture of growth inhibitory chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans. Optimal electroporation parameters resulted in 28% transfection efficiency and 51% viability for postnatal rat CGNs. The neurite outgrowth of transduced neurons was quantitatively measured using a semi-automated image capture and analysis system. The neurite outgrowth was significantly reduced by the inhibitory substrates which we demonstrated could be partially reversed using a Rho Kinase inhibitor. We are now using this assay to screen large sets of RAGs for their ability to increase neurite outgrowth on a variety of growth inhibitory and permissive substrates

Irrigated wheat : eastern Oregon -- east of Cascades [2000]

Good management practices are essential if optimum fertilizer responses are to be realized. These practices include adequate irrigation, use of recommended varieties, selection of adapted soils, weed control, disease and insect control, proper seeding methods, and timely harvest. It is important that the soil be sampled and tested as a guide to fertilization. Follow recommended soil sampling procedures to estimate fertilizer needs. The Oregon State University Extension Service agent in your county can provide you with soil sampling instructions, soil sample bags, and information sheets.Revised July 1983. Reprinted January 2000.
