Abstract:
The purposes of the study were 1 To examine the utility of the proposed schema for investigating behavior in concept attainment tasks by a Determining the strength of the theoretical hypotheses relating the five stipulated constructs magnitude, and scope of relations over conditions. b Determining the locus of effect of various independent variables known to affect terminal performance on the above response variables encompassed by the theoretical hypotheses. c Determining the locus of effect of numerous subject-determined variables such as content--total population of instances, and sequence--order in which instances are tested on the response variables encompassed by the theoretical hypotheses. d Determining the temporal and sequential orderings in behavior involving these constructs prior to attainment of the concept. 2 To explore other interesting relations manifest in the data that have not as yet been incorporated within a formal theory. 3 To compare the theory with other models at points where there exist common terms.
