Abstract
The study examined changes in hypothesis sampling behavior as a function of eight successive solutions in a concept-ID task. It was found that the probability of a win-stay response increased with experience. No change. was observed in lose-stay behavior. The results are consistent with a sampling-with-partial-replacement hypothesis.
