Abstract
Johnson and Zara (1960) found that a group of preschool children trained on a discrimination problem showed the usual decline in transposition in a far test, while another group, trained with 2 different stimulus pairs, transposed in the far tests. They also found a difference in speed of learning in the original discrimination task, favoring the double discrimination group. The present study, employing different apparatus, again found the differences in transposition as a function of training problem. Performances during training were different from those of the Johnson and Zara groups.
