A series of 5-item oddity tasks was administered to 44 EMR adolescents to determine whether a consistent strategy was used to achieve problem solutions. Such a strategy requires establishing a relational hypothesis for two items in a set and retaining that hypothesis in memory while testing subsequent items against it. Evidence for use of a consistent strategy would be found in a particular pattern of response latencies and errors dependent upon the position of the odd stimulus in each 5-item set. Analysis of variance of the mean latency scores and errors for the five positions in which the odd item occurred suggested that a consistent strategy was being applied.
对44名电子病历青少年进行了一系列由5个项目组成的奇异性任务，以确定他们是否使用了一致的策略来解决问题。这样的策略需要为一组中的两个项目建立一个关系假设，并在记忆中保留该假设，同时根据该假设对后续项目进行测试。在特定的反应潜伏期和错误模式中可以找到使用一致策略的证据，这些模式取决于每个5项目组中奇数刺激的位置。对奇数项目出现的五个位置的平均潜伏期分数和错误进行方差分析表明，正在应用一种一致的策略。
