The effects of experience upon preference for stimulus complexity were investigated. On each of 8 trials, children chose a colored candy from 4 simultaneously-presented stimulus arrays of differing complexity levels. Results indicated a significant increase in the level of complexity chosen from Trial 1 to 2, a decrease from 2 to 4, and an increase from 4 to 8 ( p < .01). These results support predictions of AL theory but differ from those of Dember and Earl (1957).
