Abstract
72 college men and 72 women were given a serial search task called the Tsai-Partington Numbers Test. The design employed 3 kinds of stimulus coding and 3 forms of the test. The results indicated that no coding produced significantly better performance over coding which was either relevant or irrelevant to the task. The constant form of the test was superior to both the half-variation and total-variation forms of the test. Half and total variations were conditions in which the position of the numbers in the numerical display changed position over trials. It was suggested that coding the stimuli in these visual displays increased the difficulty of the search task regardless of the form of the test.
