Abstract

Two-dimensional stimuli consisting of a color and a form were paired with single digits as responses, but in an unconventional manner. For three of the items, color was the relevant component, and for the other three items, form was the relevant component. The other components were re-paired on successive trials such that they were orthogonal to correct responding. Only 2 of 20 subjects learned the experimenter-defined list in the allotted 40 trials. Instead of selecting bidimensionally (three relevant colors and three relevant forms), they selected components from a single dimension, thereby precluding their learning the list. The theoretical implications of this selection behavior are discussed.
