Abstract
The hypothesis that the difficulty of discrimination determines whether rate of discrimination learning is affected by greater opportunity to compare the stimuli (positive with negative) was tested by using 2 levels of discrimination difficulty. For each level, half of a group of Ss learned under conditions of simultaneous presentation of stimuli while the other half learned under successive presentation. By either method of stimuli presentation, advanced students learned the easier discrimination more rapidly than the elementary Ss, but there was no significant difference between the 2 methods of stimuli presentation in learning the easier discrimination.
