A comparison of two types of theories of multiple-category concept identification

Two hundred and eight Ss were randomly assigned to four conditions in which they solved unidimensional concept problems with 2, 3, 4, or 5 categories. The number of errors to criterion was a negatively accelerated function of the number of categories. The results were counter to the prediction of hypothesis-sampling theories and were interpreted as support for hypothesis-construction theories.
