Insight into a Reasoning Task: An Experimental Analysis.
Skellern, C. I. B.
Programmed Learning and Educational Technology, v19 n4 p285-99 Nov 1982
This experiment in reasoning attempted to discover why simple logic tasks cause problems. An initial group investigation preceded the experiment, which tested two hypotheses: that subjects presented with a "four-card" problem make irrational responses, and that successful completion of a programed text will reduce irrational responses. Twenty-seven sources are provided. (Author/EJS)
