Abstract
A concept learning model was developed and tested in two conjunctive attribute identification tasks. The model includes assumptions about the focus of attention, decision making, and memory for stimulus information and prior decisions. Predictions are made about how S changes his hypothesis following an error. Procedures in both tasks allowed inference of the subject's current hypothesis. The hypothesis selections and error statistics were in the majority of cases accurately predicted by the model. Deviations from predictions on hypothesis sampling occurred for naive Ss but not for trained Ss who were required to state a hypothesis on each trial.

A model for visual recall tasks was presented in terms of visual information storage, scanning, rehearsal, and auditory information storage and the main implication of the model for human factors is the importance of the auditory coding in visual tasks.

A class of information-processing models is constructed for a concept attainment experiment previously studied by Bower and Trabasso, and the formal process models are shown to be useful in discovering inconsistencies and unstated assumptions in informal descriptions of the psychological processes underlying the stochastic theory.

It can be shown that hypotheses may change after a positive reinforcement, which has an information content for subjects that has not yet been adequately recognized in concept formation studies.
