Some groups of preliminary year indigenous students at the University of Papua and New Guinea were Ss for an investigation of concept selection strategies among students from a non-Western culture. Some of the methods of Bruner, Goodnow, and Austin (1) were replicated. It was found that in forming conjunctive categories the students were consistent in maintaining a definite strategy, that more students adopted a scanning strategy, and that focusers were the most successful. Mixed strategists attained no success. The abstraction of disjunctive concepts provided more difficulties, as it did with their Western counterparts. The Ss, especially focusers, did not maintain their strategies. Focusers and scanners on the conjunctive problems did not interchange roles on the disjunctive problems, but some of each adopted mixed strategies with the latter problems. Mixed strategists and focusers were more successful than scanners, though focusers either solved all or no problems. The Ss generally found the use of negative examples difficult. The investigation is the first part of a series of studies. © 1971 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
