[A model of the influence of processing effort and number of changes on subjective time perception].

The paper is concerned with a model for subjective time estimation as determined by processing effort and number of changes. In a previous paper, a proposal was made that should solve a problem of confounded variables in the area of time estimation. An experimental design was developed to allow for the independent manipulation of processing effort and number of changes. It is shown that this proposal is valid only under the assumption that Stevens' law holds with exponent one. Therefore, another way of conceptualizing this problem is advanced in which one asks for the relative impact of processing effort and change on the parameters of Stevens' law. It can be demonstrated that this law yields considerable fit despite interindividual differences.

An instrument to assess the quality of maternal behavior.

Early assessment, detection, and therapeutic intervention in maladaptive maternal behavior can be facilitated by a simple nursing appraisal instrument employed initially on the third postpartum day. The Funke-Irby Interactional Assessment not only discriminates between early adaptive and maladaptive maternal behaviors, but it also illustrates a mother's progress or lack of progress toward adaptive mothering, making the instrument useful to the community health nurse during the early postdelivery weeks. This instrument has been effectively used as a screening device for nurses making decisions about the need for further referral for family therapy.
