Abstract
Two-dimensional, binary-valued stimuli were presented to 64 Ss in a simple concept-identification task to determine the effect of negative reinforcement on Ss' hypothesis-testing. Whereas the patterns of responding of Ss as a group indicated linguistic syntax appeared profoundly to affect performance, closer inspection indicated that subgroups of Ss were responding to other characteristics in the stimulus display and the language patterns observed ignored individual strategies and thus were an artifact of grouping the data.
