Abstract

The hypothesis that subjects' beta weights tend to match the cue-criterion correlations rather than the cue-criterion beta weights was tested in an experiment on the multiple-cue probability learning of tasks with intercorrelated cues (rij = .00, .40, and .80). The results supported that hypothesis and indicated that subjects are able to utilize the correlations between each cue and the criterion, but not the correlation between cues, as a source of information about the validities of those cues.
