Abstract

This research was designed to investigate concept learning and relearning as related to the frequency of supporting stimuli. The specific problems were the following: (1) Does the presence of stimuli supporting the formation of inconsistent concepts influence the amount of effort required to learn and relearn consistent concepts? (2) Will concepts be learned in proportion to the number of words suggesting their formation? (3) What are the individual differences in concept formation?
