Abstract
Bernstein's theory of code restrictedness was used to predict differences in problem solving efficiency among dyads structured to assure a comparison of messages crossing or not crossing code boundaries. A small set of dyads (16) were drawn from three subcultures represented in a high school equivalency training program and from middle class age mates. Dyads were tested on their success in communicating the solutions to two puzzles. While small sample size made statistical tests insensitive, results and even trends within the data largely failed to confirm expectations based on Bernstein's theory.
