Abstract
9th grade students were used to investigate the relation between the objective validity of certain cues and the extent to which these cues were used. The purpose was to analyze the learning of responses to multiple cues of different validities to determine how much the responses came to depend on each cue. The independent variable was the correlation between a criterion and each of 3 simultaneously presented visual cues. The dependent variable was the correlation between the cues and Ss responses. Successful cue utilization increased during the learning session. Ss responded to different cues simultaneously, and the extent to which cues were used differed with validity. Throughout cue utilization was proportional to cue validity. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
