The effect of approbation and reproof on the mastery of nonsense syllables

Abstract

Approbation and reproof were found to be of practically equal value as incentives among a group of thirty college students for learning nonsense syllables. Galvanometric readings under proper experimental technique may be of value in ascertaining accompanying emotional states in praise and reproof.
