Abstract
A group of 114 junior high school children (57 boys and 57 girls, subdivided into two experimental groups) participated in a trial-and-error learning experiment utilizing a punchboard that provided graphic recording of responses and time, with differential signals for right responses and for different classes of errors. Results showed no relationships between the degree of 'like' or 'dislike' of a stimulus and average learning time, average errors, or the shape of the learning curve. Rate of elimination of errors was likewise unrelated to type of stimuli used in signalling errors but was influenced by its position in the pattern and followed a similar course for both good and poor learners.
