This study confirmed an earlier finding that two strategies, termed formula and graphic, markedly affected the speed of learning a binary task, with the former being much the superior. Both “fast” and “slow” learners were able to utilize these strategies; however, “fast” learners were superior throughout, both in terms of number of trials to criterion and total amount of time taken to learn the tasks. Evidence also was obtained suggesting that the use of the more efficient (but also more demanding) strategy by “slow” learners had a certain cost associated with it. Overall, “slow” learners exhibited much more anxious and avoidant behavior than did “fast” learners. Post hoc data obtained on the Ss suggested slow binary task learners to be more field dependent than fast learners
