MEMORY LOAD AND INFORMATION CODING IN CONCEPT LEARNING,
Abstract
An investigation was made of the effects of different methods of solution on solution efficiency and memory error. The three methods used varied the kind of perceptual assistance Ss used. These methods also varied the availability of previously presented stimuli. The three methods of solution for the two rules of inclusive and exclusive disjunction were studied under conditions of temporal stress, with all methods using a 30 second interval between the onsets of successive stimuli. In solving the attribute identification problems, Ss used a method involving the use of either no memory aid, or a cumulative record of S hypothesis notations, or a display allowing them to view the last 10 stimuli between trials.
