Experiment 2
Experiment 2 tests whether participants can transfer knowledge gained during direct classification to the same–different task and vice versa. For example, if the information-integration participants in Experiment 1 learned the underlying categories, but were unable to apply that knowledge to the same–different judgment, then performance on a subsequent classification task with the same categories should be enhanced relative to a control group that did not have the prior same–different training.Experiment 2 will allow us to test for this possibility.Performance on the one-dimensional rule-based category structures from Experiment 1 did not statistically
differ and these one-dimensional conditions were easier than the information-integration condition. For this reason,the 1D-orientation condition was replaced by a more difficult rule-based condition (i.e., a conjunction rule).
