To explore further the potential relationship between material rewards and developmental regression, this research examined the effects of material rewards on perceptual organization as measured by Holtzman inkblot responses. Forty introductory psychology students (20 males and 20 females) were assigned to either a reward or nonreward group initially matched on sex and IQ. Reward subjects had lower scores on form definiteness, form appropriateness, integration, human, movement, color, and shading; faster response time; and higher scores on location and on pathognomic verbalization. Although reward/nonreward differences reached significance only for form definiteness, form appropriateness, shading, and response time, the differences on all 10 Holtzman Inkblot Technique variables that are sensitive to developmental change were in the predicted direction of a lower level of functioning under reward.
为了进一步探究物质奖励与发育退化之间的潜在关系，本研究考察了物质奖励对通过霍尔兹曼墨迹测验反应所衡量的知觉组织的影响。40名心理学入门课程的学生（20名男性和20名女性）最初按照性别和智商进行匹配，然后被分配到奖励组或无奖励组。奖励组的受试者在形状清晰度、形状适宜性、整合性、人物、动作、颜色和阴影方面得分较低；反应时间较快；在位置和症状性言语表达方面得分较高。尽管奖励组与无奖励组之间的差异仅在形状清晰度、形状适宜性、阴影和反应时间方面达到显著水平，但对发育变化敏感的所有10个霍尔兹曼墨迹测验技术变量上的差异都朝着奖励条件下功能水平较低的预测方向发展。
