The application of temporal correlation techniques in psychology.

Abstract

"Definitions and computation procedures for various temporal correlation techniques are presented. These techniques include serial correlations for discrete data and correlation functions for continuous data. Specifically described are autocorrelations for temporal relatedness within one series of data, and crosscorrelations for such relatedness between two series. These techniques are appropriate for discovery of both cyclical and noncyclical temporal phenomena. Various applications of temporal correlation techniques within psychology are described." 29 references.
