[Anxiety in the context of cognitive semantic processes].

In this experiment anxiety is understood as an indicator for specific structures in the semantic memory. In order to prove this hypothesis a number of positive (12) and negative (11) events were associated. Furthermore the events have been classified the scale "anxious--non anxious". In the experiment 69 subjects took part. Previously the subjects completed the STAI-Trait-part; these data were used to divide the subjects into groups of high (HA) and low (LA) anxious persons (median of the sample). Those associations were analysed in a qualitative and quantitative way. ANOVAS were calculated as well as overlap coefficients and Type-Token-Ratios. HA have more negative associations. LA produce more positive associations. LA show a significantly higher overlap coefficient with positive events, respectively a smaller TTR. The results are discussed in context with psycholinguistic theories.

[Processing of a speech signal and thereby necessary attention: a contribution to dual performance].

UNLABELLED: Speech intelligibility during the performance of a second task (sorting of small plates), and the frequency of sorting in dependence of the phases of speech processing (input-processing-output) are investigated. A fixed speech level (65 dB) is combined with 5 different noise levels (55, 60, 65, 70, 75 dB). The speech material and the sorting task vary in difficulty (words, sentences, small texts; simple and complicated sorting). By rating 3 questions the subjective quality of both tasks is inquired. MAIN RESULTS: speech intelligibility and frequency of sorting vary in dependence of noise level; frequency of sorting varies in dependence of the phases of speech processing and speech material; subjective ratings are corresponding with the performance of both tasks.
