The Effect of Partially Valid Cues on Children's Discrimination Learning
Offenbach, Stuart I.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 16, 1, 91-97, Aug 73
Second graders were administered a two-choice discrimination task in which irrelevant dimensions were correlated .50, .75, or 1.00 with the 100 percent rewarded cue. Results indicate that learning was most impeded in the .75 condition and was most efficient in the 1.00 condition. These results support the Hypothesis Testing Theory of discrimination learning. (DP)
