Effects Of Serial Position Of Relevant Cue In The Rehearsal Order And Method Of Encoding On Attention In A Single Cue Concept Identification Task, Barbara M. Bethel
Student Work
Five groups of Ss were forced to encode briefly exposed stimuli in a prescribed order and to classify the stimulus as a negative or a positive instance of the concept. For the first four groups, trials to criterion were found to be a function of the ordinal position of the relevant cue in the encoding order.

In addition, it is hoped that this study will make a significant contribution to the large body of knowledge spawned in the field of achievement motivation.
