Sampling without replacement and information processing following correct responses in concept identification.

Abstract
Performed 2 * 2 Latin square experiments in concept identification, each involving the balancing of 2 concepts with respect to presentation order. The 3 experiments involved, respectively, overlap of no values, 1 value, and 2 values between instances and noninstances of the concept. 90 undergraduates were Ss. Blank-trial series were included to assess the pattern of hypothesis sampling. Results indicate that Ss sampled subsets of hypotheses compatible with an initial instance and narrowed down possible hypotheses in accord with incoming information on both instances and noninstances.
