Question: A group of navy pilots is first trained on a brightness discrimination task to a criterion of 9 correct responses of 10 trials. Following this, the same pilots are trained on a pattern discrimination task to the same criterion. Compare the results to see whether one task was easier to learn than the other. Scores shown are the numbers of errors made before achieving the criterion:
| Pilot No. |
Brightness Discrimination |
Pattern Discrimination |
| 1 | 22 | 14 |
| 2 | 16 | 8 |
| 3 | 10 | 5 |
| 4 | 15 | 7 |
| 5 | 25 | 13 |
| 6 | 33 | 15 |
| 7 | 8 | 10 |
| 8 | 26 | 15 |
| 9 | 18 | 11 |
| 10 | 13 | 14 |
Why do you think one task was easier to learn in this study?
