Abstract
The general problem of this experiment was to investigate the influence of hints on the formation and retention of concepts. The specific problems were the following: 1. How do specific and non-specific hints influence the amount of effort required to learn and relearn concepts? 2. What is the relation of specific and non-specific hints to the percentage of consistent concepts learned and retained? 3. Is the difference in the rate of learning inconsistent and consistent concepts significantly greater in the specific group than in the non-specific group? 4. What are the individual differences in the procedure for forming new concepts?
