An efficient stratagem which may be used by Ss in two-response PA learning is that in which Ss learn only the stimuli associated with one of the two responses. Groups of 30 Ss were instructed to use this stratagem (Group S), not to use it (Group N), or were not instructed either way (Group C). Performance of the groups was predicted to be in the order S, C, N in terms of rate of learning. Variances were predicted to be in the order C, N, S, with C the largest. Results were as predicted.
