The effects of two differing concentrations of halothane, 2.1 MAC or 1.2 MAC, on the metabolic and endocrine responses to abdominal hysterectomy were investigated. The changes in blood glucose and lactate values, and plasma glycerol, cortisol, insulin and catecholamine concentrations were similar in both groups. We conclude that high concentrations of halothane do not suppress the responses to pelvic surgery, and that accurate quantification of the dose of halothane, within the concentration range of 1.2 to 2.1 MAC, is not essential in studies of metabolic changes associated with surgery.

Relation between dimensional distinctiveness and comparison format in a novel noun generalization task in preschoolers.

Numerous studies have shown that in novel noun generalization tasks, the simultaneous presentation of multiple learning examples increases the percentage of generalizations that are based on less salient properties, compared to the presentation of a single learning example. In this research with preschoolers ( = 300) we demonstrate that this effect can be modulated by dimensional distinctiveness, i.e.
