Abstract: | L indahl , M.-B. On transitions from perceptual to conceptual learning. Scand. J. Psychol ., 1968, 9, 206–214.—In a classification problem subjects showed to prefer perceptually determined solutions to conceptually determined ones, although both types were objectively possible and equally rewarding. With decreasing saliency of defining attributes increasing numbers of subjects adopted conceptually determined solutions, however. The results were discussed in relation to a non-formal information-processing mo del and a postulated perceptual-conceptual dimension of functioning. |
