Abstract
A MATHEMATICS test intended to in dicate the amount of retention of new knowledge and the ability of students to apply new skills can yield biased results as a consequence of ignoring the effects of psychological set. Psychological set is defined here as the tendency of a person to behave in a mechanical way, repeating a process in situation after situation whether the process is applicable or not. A test biased in this way will often favor the student with an ability to resist set formation, and it will often work against those who tend to be more vulnerable to set formation.
