Selection Of

Previous research has indicated that selection strategies of Ss differ as a function of the nature of the stimulus array. The present paper suggests several problems with the construct of strategy and proposes a distinction between the encounter with informative instances and the assimilation of information from instances encountered. Several modifications in selection paradigm procedure are introduced to allow the measurement of these two dependent variables. Female college students were assigned to geometric or thematic stimulus-array conditions. Ss in the thematic condition performed significantly more poorly in the assimilation of information but did not differ from Ss in the geometric condition with regard to their selection of informative instances.

Main Effects

40 male and female college students participated in a concept attainment experiment. The type of material, figural or verbal, in which the concepts were embedded, and arrangement of the instances on the display, ordered or random, were investigated. The sex of the S was also included as a stratifying variable. The data were analyzed according to a 2 × 2 × 2 analysis of variance. Concepts embedded in figural material were attained in significantly less time than concepts stated in words; also less, but not significantly less, time was required on the ordered arrangement. on the second dependent variable, number of incorrect hypotheses, the main effects were not significant; however, the type of material interacted significantly with arrangement. Errors on the ordered figural display and on the random verbal displays were low but were high on the random figural and ordered verbal displays. Sex was not significant.

A description of an instrument designed to facilitate concept attainment research. The Concept Attainment Device (CAD) was built to reduce several sources of E error in concept attainment experiments. S is presented with a 64 stimulus-position board. Associated with each of these positions are two response-key-feedback-lights. S's card choices are displayed on E's console in a decimal read-out. S's hypotheses are automatically checked for accuracy by CAD. Problems may be easily changed, and the amount of information displayed to S may be systematically varied. CAD is especially useful in concept attainment experiments on selection strategies, rate of information acquisition, and accuracy of information utilization.
