Abstract
A task involving formation of a complex size-position concept as the basis of sorting cards into exclusive and consistent categories was presented to 152 Ss divided into two groups--"real life" (RL) situation where the task was the S's own, and a "textbook" (TB) situation in which the S was told that he was helping a described fictitious person. The TB group produced significantly more solutions and concepts at a significantly higher rate. "Solvers produced concepts at a significantly higher rate than non-solvers. Solutions and concept-evocation rate are positively and highly related. Order and frequency of vocalization of particular concepts are similar for the RL and TB groups."
