KLAUSMEIER, HERBERT J.; RAMSAY, JAMES G. – 1965
AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO CLARIFY RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN TWO VARIABLES TAKEN FROM TWO MAJOR CLASSES--A VARIABLE RELATED TO CONDITIONS OF LEARNING AND A STIMULUS VARIABLE. SPECIFICALLY, THE STUDY DEALT WITH CONCEPT ATTAINMENT BY INDIVIDUALS AND IDENTIFIED THROUGH FIGURAL OR VERBAL INSTANCES. PERFORMANCE WAS ASSESSED WITH FIVE DEPENDENT VARIABLES--TIME…
