Probability Strategies in Similar Concurrent Tasks as a Function of Instructions and Stimulus-Presentation Conditions
48 adults learned 2 concurrent 4-choice tasks with 70% probable reinforcement for the correct choice. Stimuli for the 2 tasks were presented in 3 orders, and 2 instruction conditions were used. One stimulus order led to more maximization than the others, and 48% of the Ss changed strategies between the 2 tasks. Questions about the predictability of individual behavior in probability-learning situations are discussed
Re-Evaluation of the Use of the Quick Test with a Sample of Institutionalized Mentally Retarded Subjects
The present study sought to evaluate the usefulness of the Quick Test (QT) as a measure of intelligence in mentally retarded persons. Both the QT and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) were administered to 109 institutionalized retarded Ss, ranging in age from 10 to 57 yr. in the order Form B, A (PPVT), QT 1, 2, 3. An order of test effects was clear. The results suggested that, although the QT is effective with persons in the normal range…
