“…The experimenter remained present throughout all sessions, encouraged the subject to pay attention before each trial, and continuously monitored data to detect any tendency for the subject to develop a preferred response (Gerjuoy & Winters, 1968). In fact, although a problem during initial training, no subject did this during experimental sessions.…”

Ten subjects with WAIS Full Scale IQ scores ranging from 119 to 47 were required to discriminate between two lines of markedly different length, exposed in random order for ten different durations, by pressing one of two keys. Estimates of inspection time gamma, the rate at which sensory input is accumulated and passed to subsequent decision processes, were calculated directly from the psychometric functions obtained gamma was found to correlate negatively with subtests contributing to Performance IQ. There was a substantial degree of consistency between estimates of gamma on two different occasions and training did not appear to affect the index, although differences between the two estimates increased as the value of the first estimate increased. Mean overall response latency did not correlate significantly with intelligence and measures obtained from retarded subjects were very like those reported in similar experimental situations utilizing normal subjects. This unexpected finding is interpreted as suggesting that, in this situation, retarded subjects have been prepared to respond on the basis of less evidence than is usually required by intellectually normal subjects.

“…When people are required to produce binary sequences, they respond not in a random but in a patterned series, although they may be quite unaware of it. On the whole, investigators have found that in children the complexity of the resulting patterns increases with increasing age (Gerjuoy & Winters, 1968).…”

“…The former include position perseveration (always choosing the stimulus on the left or the stimulus on the right) and position alternation (alternating position, LRLR or RLRL). The latter include consistently choosing red (blue), consistently choosing circle (square), alternating or double alternating colours (forms).From the results of related studies (Gerjuoy & Winters, 1968;Spitz, Carroll & Johnson, 1975) it was assumed that position hypothesis would be high in the retarded subjects' hierarchy of hypotheses and consequently the dimension they would try before testing stimulus dimension hypotheses. It should be noted that the nature of the discrimination problem and the type of stimuli employed will determine, to some extent, the size and nature of the hypothesis that is sampled initially.…”
