(Author/SM)

Causes of inconclusive results concerning learning hierarchy research are examined. Two suggestions are given for overcoming problems and research flaws: maintain Gagne's original design, modifying shortcomings; and follow more rigorous methods presented by the author. (SM)

An adult model (teacher) displayed a preference for the doll least selected by the children in her classroom.
