Classification of Sentences

In Exp. I, undergraduate students were asked to divide 8 short sentences into two groups of four in as many ways as they could. On the first trial, classification by meaning was the most frequent, but more Ss eventually classified sentences by pattern or subject than by meaning or adjective. These findings were successfully replicated by using different sets of sentences. In Exp. II, S was given a task of classification of sentences with feedback. Pattern and meaning cues were more easily identified than adjective and subject cues. The apparent inconsistencies with Sachs' study were discussed
