Abstract
Tested a previous interpretation that Ss of superior intelligence attain concepts by testing hypotheses while Ss of normal intelligence attain concepts through S-R associative learning. 120 elementary and junior high school children were employed, ½ solving a task with simple stimuli and ½ working with complex stimuli. It was predicted that the complex stimuli would generate more hypotheses than the simple ones and thus slow down superior Ss but not affect normal Ss. This prediction was confirmed.
