CACHE Digital Archive
CACHE Digital Archive (College Academic and Historical Experience) is a digital platform that collects, preserves, and distributes digital material. The Kalamazoo College Archives contains a broad range of materials on the 185-year history of Kalamazoo College, including administrative records, biographical files, publications, scrapbooks, photographs, and more.
At this time many of our archived materials are scanned and shared via PDF where a limited amount of metadata is stored. If you would like to work with a specific material and require accommodations due to a physical or mental impairment we are here to help! For accommodations in using archived materials please email the College Archivist at archives@kzoo.edu.

Item Mother-Child Interaction at Separation as Associated with Child Conflict-Related Behavior(1988-08-01)Ten preschool children ranging in age from two years to four years and their mothers were selected for observation. These dyads were chosen on the basis of two criteria: 1) the regularity of their visits to the nursery (so as to assess the feasibility of choosing the child to be a candidate for repeated measurements) and 2) the age of the child. Children's sexes were not a priority issue in this endeavor due to the limited number of children available for observation.Item Adolescent Suicide in a Changing Society(1988-01-01)Self-help groups have become an increasingly popular source od support for families in crisis. The present study analyzes the relationships between involvement in a self-help group, background, and coping outcomes (also ref erred to as positive psychosocial adaptation) parents of living children with cancer, parents of deceased children who died of cancer, and parents of murdered children. Direct correlations with involvement in a self-help group were only found to exist with feelings of empowerment, satisfaction with life in general and family life, and time since diagnosis or death of the child. Time since diagnosis, however, was correlated with involvement in a self-help group, empowerment, satisfaction with life in general and family life, and feelings of self-control. Similarities and differences in all three populations, parents of living children with cancer, parents of children who have died of cancer and parents of murdered children, are discussed and possible benefits of self help groups are proposed.Item Families in Crisis : an Exploration of the Experiences and Self-Help Groups as a Possibility for Support(1988-01-01)Self-help groups have become an increasingly popular source od support for families in crisis.

First, hyperactive children appear to be of multiple etiologies, require subclassification, and respond to different treatment approaches. Consequently, most researchers (e.g., Gittelman, 1981; Lambert et al., 1976; Prior & Sanson, 1986; Ross & Ross, 1982) now recommend focusing on individual differences in temperament, cognitive ability, social interactions, and treatment responses. Second, with regard to stimulant drug therapy, the evidence for its efficacy on various measures is still inconclusive. Weiss et al. (1975) assert, "It was wishful thinking on our part that a useful drug alone would change the outcome of a fairly serious condition like severe chronic hyperactivity" (p. 164). Thus, there is a recent trend toward multimodal treatment of hyperactivity, including pharmacological, psychological, and educational interventions (Ross & Ross, 1982). Until more conclusive answers to the nature of hyperactivity and the efficacy of stimulant drug therapy are obtained, the controversy over these issues will most likely remain.Item The Topographical Organization of Visual Area TEO in the Macaque Monkey(1988-01-01)Visual area TEO, located in the posterior portion of the inferior temporal lobe plays a major role in the neuronal mechanisms underlying object recognition. Removal of this area in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) leads to impairment in the ability of discriminating different objects. Supporting this idea, recent anatomical studies have shown that TEO receives forward projections from area V4 and send projections to area TE; however, neuronal properties TEO and its topographic organization are still unknown. The present study investigated this issue by conjunction of two approaches: Recording of single neuron activity and the use of anatomical techniques for tracing the pathways. Four monkeys have been used in these experiments. At present, only the data from the first case has been analyzed. Physiological results indicate that TEO has a poor topographic organization in which the eccentricities of the receptive fields tends to increase from dorsal to ventral. These results also show that TEO shares the representation of the horizontal meridian as a common border with V4. Anatomical results have shown backward projections from TEO to V3 and V4. Both physiological and anatomical data from this study indicate that TEO extends far beyond its architectural borders and suggest that this area may contain different subareas.
