Experimentally Induced

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether experimentally induced expectational sets of success or failure differentially affect the performance of internal and external scorers. Another purpose was to determine the relation between locus of control and verbal and figural measures of inductive reasoning. Subjects were 144 fifth graders who were administered the children's Nowicki-Strickland instrument. Analysis indicated that the external scorers' mean was significantly lower than that of internal scorers on a verbal problem-solving task. Experimenter's instructions did not differentially affect performance on the two types of tasks and did not differentially affect the two groups of scorers.

Traumatically Brain Injured

Rapid Assessment of Problem Solving (RAPS) is a clinical test of verbal problem-solving skills for brain-injured persons. This modification of F. A. Mosher and J. R. Hornsby’s (1966) Twenty Questions Test (20Q) reduces the memory demands of the test for brain-injured clients. This article provides background on the 20Q Test and modifications made for RAPS. It describes RAPS materials, administration, and scoring procedures and reports RAPS results for 70 normal participants. Normal participants solved RAPS problems with an average of 5 questions. Questions were predominantly constraint seeking and focused on semantic categories or features. Normal participants also reflected substantial variability in their performance on RAPS. This appeared to be related to 2 metacognitive abilities associated with problem solving, planning, and shifting set. The performance of 3 chronic traumatically brain injured individuals is also described and compared to the normal sample to illustrate clinical applications of RAPS.
