Ability and Group Problem Solving.
Laughlin, Patrick R.
Journal of Research and Development in Education, v12 n1 p114-20 Fall 1978

Performance proved proportional to the number of high ability group members. The underlying group process was inferred through social decision scheme analysis. (Author/SJL)
