DESCRIPTIVE HISTORY:

Concept identification. The ability to identify concepts in the context of a problem solving task is also evaluated. Each of 12 concept problems requires the identification of one or two "poisoned" fc> ods. The subject selects "meals" consisting of four of the foods on a list, and the experimenter indicates whether that "meal" is fatal. The task is to identify the "poisoned" foods with as few "meals" as possible. The two primary performance measures are correctness of the identification and effectiveness in reaching a solution as indicated by the number of "meal" selections. Concept problem solving, initiated in 1967, is administered at six-year intervals.
