A test of a general utility theory model for probability learning.

Abstract
80 6th grade children were required to predict the occurrence of alphabetical letters on 400 consecutive trials. There were 3 experimental conditions: the relative frequency of the most frequently appearing letter, the number of choices available, and the even or uneven division in frequency of occurrence of the less frequently appearing letters. The results were discussed in terms of a utility theory model derived from Siegel. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
