irrational behavior when they are accompanied. Participants with given budget intend to spend
more in similar consuming properties than those without budget. Thus the mental accounts are
actually redistributed. This study also examines the impact of social comparison information on
consuming types which are influenced by partners.
5083.4 Age-of-acquisition effects in picture naming in Turkish using Snodgrass and Vanderwart
pictures, Ilahan Raman, Psychology, Middlesex University, UK
The arbitrary mapping hypothesis (Ellis & Lambon-Ralph, 2000) predicts that AoA effects should
be stronger for tasks that involve arbitrary mappings between representations than for tasks that
involve consistent mappings. The role of AoA was explored in transparent Turkish orthography in
a picture and a word naming task in order to test these claims. Independent ratings were obtained
for Snodgrass and Vanderwart (1980) line drawings and presented for naming. Evidence from
Turkish and other orthographies with a varying degree of transparency between print and sound
suggest that AoA effects are perhaps universal irrespective of orthographic transparency.
Implications are discussed.
5083.5 A research on high school student’s subjective well-being and relationship, Yingchun
Wang, Li Wen, Jianzhong Wo, Beijing Normal University, China
1372 high school students were investigated to exploring the factors influencing the subjective
well-being (SWB)of high school students. The result showed the SWB level of the juniors is the
highest, but the changes are not magnificent. The main effect of sex is not magnificent too,
excluding the seniors in which the SWB level of the boys is higher than the girls. The results of
regression showed that relationship with teachers are also important to the high school students’
SWB, as well as the skill of relationship. For the junior students, the relationship has the smallest
influence to their SWB.
5083.6 Why can we hardly recall personal events experienced before around age 4?
Longitudinal case studies, Izumi Uehara, Seisen Jogakuin College, Japan
We can hardly recall personal events experienced before Age3-4 (infantile amnesia). To
investigate this phenomenon, I examined the critical developmental period for episodic memory
and its relationship to children's recallable ages in later days by longitudinal case studies. First,
three critical ages were identified for each child: First Episodic Report at 2-3 years, First
Recognition at 3-4 years and Memory-Verb Acquisition at 4-4.5 years. Second, when they were at
5-6 years, children hardly recalled the events they had experienced before Age 3-4. It is discussed
that the age of First Recognition is presumably the most important for the infantile amnesia.
5083.7 The study on relations among achievement goal orientation, achievement motive,
self-regulation tactics and performance, Xia Liu, Beijing Institute of Graphic Communication,
China
Performance is the behavior carrying out for finishing a certain task or upping to a certain goal. It
is discovered that there is function of predicting on performance in achievement goal orientation.
The author probes into relations between achievement goal orientation and performance in the
educational field in this research. The author measures 282 undergraduates and postgraduates by
achievement goal orientation questionnaire, achievement motive questionnaire, self-regulation
