The abundance of scale passages found in Joaquín Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez for guitar and orchestra tests the stamina and swiftness of even the most capable guitarists. A relatively new technique of using three fingers of the right hand, known as A-M-I, to articulate fast scales provides an alternative means of effectively mastering Rodrigo's masterpiece. A-M-I scale technique is a fast and effective way to play scales on the classical guitar. In various forms, this three-finger right-hand system of fingering scales has been used effectively by a small group of classical guitarists since being pioneered by Narciso Yepes in the mid-twentieth century. The current approach to A-M-I scale technique requires specific fingering systems to effectively coordinate and synchronize the left and right hands, making it a distinct technique demanding thorough consideration and deliberate study. The increased right-hand velocity and greater efficiency inherent in A-M-I technique can greatly enhance the performance of Joaquín Rodrigo's virtuosic Concierto de Aranjuez.

Gudjonsson developed two scales to measure interrogative suggestibility: Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scales I and 2 (GSS I and GSS 2; Gudjonsson, 1984a; 1987c). The aims of the present thesis were to examine issues related to the reliability and validity of these scales. Three studies are presented. Study I assessed the effects of two interviewer styles on measures obtained on the GSS 1. The hypothesis was that a generally abrupt demeanour adopted by the interviewer would lead to higher scores than a friendly demeanour. Results showed that participants tested in the Abrupt condition gained higher scores on two of the post-feedback GSS measures than those tested in the Friendly condition. It was concluded that post-feedback scores may be more sensitive to social aspects of suggestibility than responses to leading questions. Study 2 assessed the effect of the same interviewer demeanours on a sample of adolescents, a more vulnerable population (e. g. Richardson, Gudjonsson, & Kelly, 1995). It was hypothesised that the abrupt demeanour would produce higher GSS I scores, than a friendly demeanour and that this difference would be more marked than that found for normal adults. Results did not support the hypothesis. Scores were lower in the Abrupt condition; this difference was significant for post-feedback responses to leading questions. It was concluded that results provided further evidence that GSS scores are not readily predictable. Study 3 aimed to investigate indicators of "faking bad" on the GSS. It was hypothesised that participants instructed to fake suggestibility would demonstrate a unique scoring pattern. Results supported the hypothesis. It was concluded that an elevated pre-feedback score in the absence of any other raised scores may indicate malingering on the GSS. Issues related to the reliability and validity of the scales are discussed.

A spring scale was constructed by attaching several extension springs in series. The springs were acquired by disassembling a collection of staplers; however, these springs proved to be limited in their use, since they did not have a clearly defined elastic limit. The spring scale constructed has a k value of 7.05 ± 5.7x10-3 N/m. The measurement error was calculated to be equivalent to 0.34 grams. The scale is accurate to 1 gram and has a functional range from 60 grams to 450 grams.
