Abstract
Lower- and middle-class preadolescent girls counted metronome clicks presented in 12 trials under conditions of independent judgment. The lower-class group made substantially more counting errors over the first 9 trials, but counting ability of the two groups was equated after 12 warm-up trials. The results have methodological implications for the use of the click stimulus in simulated group research on social conformity behavior.Keywords
