Abstract
Subjects were given lists of attributes of people and told to find the attribute common to the people. For some conditions subjects received cues designating the people as members of particular groups. These cues either did or did not provide a basis for the correct solution to the task. Decision time was found to be a function of whether or not the cue provided was meaningfully associated with attributes in the lists. The results are interpreted as evidence of theory-driven or schema-based problem-solving.Keywords
