Consistent Contrast and Correlation in Free Sorting
Authors: Billman Dorrit , Davies Jim 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Two experiments investigated free sorting, a type of unsupervised learning, with multiattribute drawings of alien animals. In previous research on concept formation, with simpler stimulus structure than ours, participants were insensitive to correlational structure in the stimuli, producing primarily "1D sorts," based on the values ofjust 1 dimension or attribute. Our experiments showed that participants used many strategies in categorizing but preferred to generate groupings that reflected the correlations in input when this did not violate consistent contrast. The second experiment used hierarchically structured stimuli to show that participants’ sort strategies favor consistency within a set of contrasting categories, distinct from any preference for 1D sorting. Finally, both experiments show that correlational sorts are much more likely when the correlation-based sort contrasts consistently. Our data show complexity at work in free sort tasks: People are sensitive to multiple and sometimes conflicting biases for consistency and correlational structure in the category systems they create.
The Influence of Stimulus Array on Training of a Speeded Response
Authors: Bourne Lyle E. , Healy Alice F. , Pauli Paul , Parker James T. , Birbaumer Niels 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
We conducted two experiments to study the training of speeded responses to stimuli in a clock face array. Participants were trained on one clock face and later tested on either the same or a different clock face. The clock faces varied along 3 dimensions of change (left-right flip, up-down flip, and 180° rotation). Skill acquisition was reflected in decreases in overall, initiation, and movement response times in the training and test phases except that movement time reached an asymptote during training and did not decrease further during test. Test performance was best when training and test used the same clock face and worst when the training to test change involved an up-down flip. The transition to different clock faces was consistent with an interpretation based on the violation of expectations about target positions acquired during training. Consistent trial-by-trial feedback led to better initiation time but not movement time during training than periodic feedback, but this effect did not persist into the test phase.
Memory Retrieval Tasks Determine the Serial Position Curves of Linear Orders with Categorical Structures
Authors: Jou Jerwen 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
I examined 2 different views on organization of linear order information in memory: the linear schema view and the hierarchical structure view. The linear schema view holds that there is a strong tendency in memory to organize an array of transitively related elements into a unidimensional order. The hierarchical structure view maintains that the transitively related elements are organized in memory in a hierarchy of items. I proposed an input structure and retrieval compatibility hypothesis as a coherent explanation for the contradictory views on the memory organization of serial elements. I argue that the organization of linear order information in memory is determined by the nature of the memory retrieval task used. For example, a comparative judgment task is more compatible with a unidimensional structure, whereas a sequential recall or serial position identification task is more compatible with a hierarchical organization. The input structure and retrieval compatibility concept can also explain why dichotomous categories imposed on a linear order play very little role in comparative judgments.
Impact of Learning Orientation on African American Children’s Attitudes toward High-Achieving Peers
Authors: Marryshow Derrick , Hurley Eric A. , Allen Brenda A. , Tyler Kenneth M. , Boykin A. Wade 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This study examined Ogbu’s widely accepted thesis that African American students reject high academic achievement because they perceive its limited utility in a world where their upward mobility is constrained by racial discrimination. Boykin’s psychosocial integrity model contends that Black students value high achievement but that discrepancies between their formative cultural experiences and those imposed in school lead them to reject the modes of achievement available in classrooms. Ninety Black children completed a measure of attitudes toward students who achieve via mainstream or African American cultural values. Participants rejected the mainstream achievers and embraced the African American cultural achievers. Moreover, they expected their teachers to embrace the mainstream achievers and reject those who achieved through high-verve behavior. Results suggest that Boykin’s thesis is a needed refinement to Ogbu’s ideas. They indicate that Black children may reject not high achievement but some of the mainstream cultural values and behaviors on which success in mainstream classrooms is made contingent.
Field-Generated Research Agenda in Music Education: A Qualitative Study of Music Supervisors and Music Teachers
Authors: Fung C. Victor 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The aim of this study was to create afield-generated research agenda in music education based on the viewpoints of practitioners in the field. The main research question being: What knowledge could research create that would help music teachers in the schools? I interviewed four music teachers and three music supervisors individually across three school districts in the southeastern United States. I used a guided interview approach. All participants had over ten years of music teaching experience. Interview data were analyzed using an inductive approach. Close examinations of the suggested research agenda revealed four themes (advocacy orientation, need to understand, best practices, and interest to change). This study clearly shows that the practitioners have strong desires to use research as a tool for advocacy. Findings also suggest that the practitioners desire to improve in dealing with issues at hand. They are attracted to research that can provide immediate application. While the practitioners suggest a research agenda with a heavy emphasis on applied research, researchers must read the agenda beyond the surface to see what basic research questions are needed to support studies addressing the concerns of these practitioners.
Community-Based Children’s Choirs: Selected Literature and Material Culture in Printed Programs
Authors: Hedden Debra G. , Daugherty James F. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The purposes of this study were to examine a body of repertoire that was selected and programmed by community-based children’s choirs (N = 73) in North America over the course of one year, and to investigate the material culture of the choirs’printed concert programs. Primary results indicated (a) 3,906 literature titles were sung and publicly performed by these choirs over the course of a single year (M = 52.6, range = 8 to 158 pieces of literature per choir); (b) significant differences among repertoire selection according to historical period, language sung, and genre most frequently used; and (c) according to analyses of the material culture of printed programs, chorister names were not listed in 76.7% of printed programs, there were frequent errors of spelling and punctuation in such items as repertoire titles and composer names, frequent confusion between composers and arrangers in printed programs, and apparent disparity between the quality and content of printed programs. Further disaggregation of data indicated significant differences among repertoire performed according to choir tuition costs and number of printed program pages. Results were discussed in terms of implications for further research.

Predictors of Form Perception in Preservice Music Education Majors
Authors: Duling Ed 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Thirty-four undergraduate music education majors in a general music methods class created and present kinesthetic analogues (bodily movements) of recorded music (Cohen, 1997), which were then scored for quality of representation of pitch, rhythm, and form. Students’ACT scores and composite GPAs in music history, theory, and aural skills were used in the data analysis. Significant correlations were between form and pitch, form and rhythm, form and ACT, and form and GPA. A regression analysis for ACT with form perception as the dependent variable showed that ACT scores explained 16% of the variance [F(1, 33) = 6.445, p &lt; .02]; analysis for GPA with form as the dependent variable showed the GPA explained 13% of the variance [F(1, 33) = 5.066, p &lt; .03].The implications of the results for music education and directions for further research are discussed.
Investigating Relationships Between Participation in High School Music Ensembles and Extra-musical Outcomes: An Analysis of the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 using a Bioecological Development Model
Authors: Miksza Peter 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the potential reUtionships among participation in high school music ensembles and extra-musical educational outcomes broadly defined (i.e., math achievement, community ethic, commitment to school) using data from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002. The sample (N =12,160) was representative of white and minority high school sophomores from 603 rural, suburban, and urban schools across the United States. Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological development model was used as a theoretical framework to guide the selection of predictor variables. Multilevel model analyses accounting for both individual-(i.e., music participation, SES, minority status, peer influence) and school-level (i.e., urbanicity, percent of teachers certified, number of music teachers) effects were conducted for each outcome variable. Music participation was found to be significantly (p &lt; .001) rebted to all outcome vanables. Furthermore, this relationship remained significant after controlling for the remaining individual- and school-level effects. Students in high school music ensembles are significantly more likely to (a) have higher standardized math achievement scores, (b) be more concerned about community ethics (i.e., building friendships, helping others, correcting social inequalities), and(c) be more committed to school (i.e., less late arrivah, less cuts/skips, less absences).
Relationships Between College-level Wind Instrumentalists’ Achievement in Intonation Perception and Performance
Authors: Ballard Dennis L. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Undergraduate wind instrument majors’ (N = 60) perceptual and performance intonation achievement were measured and compared on four separate tasks. Paired tasks between perception and performance and between instrumental and vocal performances were included. Multiple tuning conditions (equal temperament, Pythagorean, and just intonation) were compared on both perceptual and performance tasks. No significant correlations were found between any of the four tasks. The influence of tuning condition was mixed with some advantage for equal temperament for performance. Vocal performances were significantly less accurate than instrumental performances. Recommendations for future research and implications for teaching are discussed.
The Hazel Green Herald and the "Idea of Appalachian"
Authors: NeCamp Samantha 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article examines a late nineteenth-and early twentiethcentury newspaper published in Appalachian eastern Kentucky for evidence of literacy practices in the locality as a way to counter the myth of Appalachian illiteracy that characterizes the "idea of Appalachia." I demonstrate that a wide variety of literacy practices are documented within the newspaper but also that the newspaper itself both creates and invokes a literate populace.
Evaluating Appalachian Distinctiveness for Gender Expectations, Sexual Violence, and Rape Myths
Authors: Swank Eric , Fahs Breanne , Haywood Holly N. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Scholars and pundits have asserted that the United States has regions and pockets that serve as hotbeds of traditional gender roles. Through quantitative techniques, this analysis explores whether Appalachian college students differentiated themselves from others on a litany of different gender role measures (n = 508). Ultimately, Appalachian college students failed to distinguish themselves in the Feminist Perspectives Scale, the Modern Sexism Scale, Attitudes toward Rape Victims Scale, and the Sexual Experiences Scale. In fact, the only statistically significant measures found that Appalachians were less likely to know school acquaintances who were the survivors of sexual violence, thus implying that Appalachians did not distinguish themselves by their "rural distinctiveness" with regard to gender roles.
Valle Crucis Mobile Performance Stage: A Transformative Response to a Changing Landscape
Authors: Everhart Chad 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In general, buildings are comprised of numerous inactive elements and rooted to a site. With the exception of a few operable doors and windows, buildings are static. What if architecture were able to move and transform? Can a building serve multiple purposes and change appearances in an effort to adapt to its users and context? To address the vernacular architecture and fragile floodplains of the Valle Crucis community, students and faculty from Appalachian State’s Building Science Program designed and built a mobile, off-grid performance stage for Valle Crucis Community Park. Since the park’s former performance accommodations could no longer handle the large crowds at weekly events, a new performance stage was needed. Unfortunately, because most of the park was recently designated as a floodplain, permanent structures were not allowed unless constructed upwards of ten feet above the ground, causing acoustic, visual, and crowd interaction problems for a stage. Through extensive research and creative problem solving, a design solution was reached: build a transformable structure that serves multiple junctions and can be moved based upon user needs as well as flooding.
Performance of thin Vivacit-E hip liners: no relevant wear during ex vivo testing at high acetabular inclination angle
Authors: Saikko Vesa , Neuvonen Perttu , Reito Aleksi 
Published: December 2022

Background and purpose: There is concern among clinicians regarding the performance of thin, highly cross-linked polyethylene acetabular liners at high inclination angles that cause edge contact and high contact stresses. We studied ex vivo wear performance of thin, vitamin-E grafted, highly cross-linked polyethylene (Vivacit-E) liners in relation to high acetabular inclination angle.Materials and methods: Wear of Vivacit-E acetabular liners (thickness 4.0–5.7 mm) was studied with a validated hip joint simulator at 2 different acetabular inclination angles, 40° (optimal) and 65° (high). The test simulated walking. Wear was evaluated gravimetrically and dimensionally.Results: At the optimal inclination angle, slight weight gain occurred. At the high angle, the liners lost weight slightly. Due to the minimal weight loss, gravimetric wear rates were difficult to determine. Linear wear was below the detection limit of 0.01 mm.Conclusion: Even with the high acetabular inclination angle, the prostheses performed well in the present test conditions. The wear rates of the liners were estimated to be clearly below the osteolysis threshold of 0.05 mm/year, below which osteolysis is absent. Since the present hip joint simulator has been shown to produce clinically relevant wear, these ex vivo results are likely to reflect the in vivo behavior of the design.

Modeling of transport properties of binary mixtures including ionic liquids based on their experimental estimation
Authors: Steltenpohl Pavol , Holečková Anna , Graczová Elena 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Transport properties of selected imidazolium ionic liquids (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, [emim][ac], and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate, [bmim][triflate]) as well as of binary mixtures of these ILs with water and ethanol were estimated experimentally. Density data were obtained within the temperature range of 293.15—333.15 K and used for the excess molar volume calculations. For the binary mixtures comprising selected ionic liquids and water/ethanol, partial molar volumes of mixture components were computed and the excess molar volume variation with the mixture composition was correlated using the Redlich-Kister equation. Dependence of viscosity on the binary mixture composition and temperature was described using the Jouyban-Acree model. These data form a base for the assessment of OPEX connected with transportation of mixtures containing these ionic liquids.
