Within this framework, the temporal organisation of such behaviour has been 'shown to reflect both the coordination within the individual and between participants in a situation. In this paper, it is proposed that observed behavioural sequences may be formally described by rules of syntax, thus implying the likelihood of structural organisation as opposed to, for example, linear time dependence between behavioural states. This being the case, differing sets of rules and grammars respectively can be expected for various social situations. Clinical interviews and discu~sions between couples on a topic of marital conflict were analysed, the on-off patterns of speech and gaze being taken as data. The resulting behavioural repertoire was regarded, in the sense of a formal grammar, as the terminal vocabulary. A set of rewriting rules was determined and their associated probabilities inferred. The situational conditions were found to be reflectedin the syntactic features of the grammatical model - the terminal vocabulary, the production rules and the production probabilities.}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} } @incollection{EllgringWagnerClarke1980, author = {Ellgring, Johann Heinrich and Wagner, H. and Clarke, AH}, title = {Psychopathological states and their effects on speech and gaze behaviour}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-50323}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {1980}, abstract = {Internal characteristics such as depressed mood, anxiety and general negative emotions are accompanied, particularly during depressive illness, by changes in observable behaviour. Accordingly, the following questions may be examined: are intra-individual changes in speech and gaze behaviour related to changes in the internal psychopathological state? Further, do these changes occur synchronously to changes in the state of subjective well-being? A longitudinal study was made on depressed patients. Their behaviour was observed during standardised interviews and diagnostic-therapeutic discussions held at regu~ lar intervals. Various speech and gaze parameters were examined with respect to their coordination and their relationship to the subjective state of well-being. Considerable variation was found in the temporal relationship amongst these variables. The results are discussed with respect to the relevance of speech parameters and the coordination of verbal and nonverbal behaviour as indicators of the psychopathological condition.}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} } @incollection{KruegerLehmacherWall1981, author = {Kr{\"u}ger, Hans-Peter and Lehmacher, Walter and Wall, K. - D.}, title = {The Fourfold Table up to N=80}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-87053}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {1981}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} } @incollection{ClarkeEllgring1983, author = {Clarke, AH and Ellgring, Johann Heinrich}, title = {Computer-aided video}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-50332}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {1983}, abstract = {The recent developments in microprocessor electronics and time-code equipment have vastly improved the efficiency of working with video material so that through the combination of data processing and video recording equipment a substantial rationalization of both data acquisition procedures and functional control of the recording machines may be achieved.

Eight classrooms were preselected on the basis of their widely differing slopes obtained in a regression analysis of pre- and posttest achievement scores. Mathematics achievement differences among sixth graders were analyzed in a four-wave design and explained by aptitude and instructional variables in a structural equation framework provided by LISREL.

The results confirmed the findings of previous Monte Carlo studies on clustering procedures in that accuracy was inversely related to coverage, and that algorithms using correlation as the similarity measure were significantly more accurate than those using Euclidean distances.

However, 6-year-olds showed higher levels of recall than 4-year-olds in both instructional conditions. Category cues were much more effective than color cues, regardless of age. In addition, clustering scores indicated that conceptual organization at both encoding and retrieval increased with age and with instruction. These results show that from 4 to 6 years of age children are learning to spontaneously employ memory strategies. In addition, they highlight the increasing importance of conceptual organization to retention of young children. Finally, the metamemory data suggest that there may be a lag between children's articulated declarative knowledge about the usefulness of conceptual organization and their procedural use of it.}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} } @article{Schneider1986, author = {Schneider, Wolfgang}, title = {The role of conceptual knowledge and metamemory in the development of organizational processes in memory}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-62022}, year = {1986}, abstract = {The present study investigated the relationshtp between developmental shifts in the organization of materials and developmental changes in deliberate strategy use.
