| Abstract | In an attempt to specify the nature of the variables associated with socioeconomic status, Jensen has proposed a two-level model of mental abilities. The first level represents associative learning. The second level involves higher-order conceptualization, and problem solving. The purpose of the present study was to develop a matrix completion training task that could be mastered by either Level 1 or Level 2 processing. The different modes of processing should be reflected in three kinds of performance differences: Initial ability to solve matrices, learning proficiency, and ability to transfer acquired skills. A matrix completion training task consisting of four sets of items, each of which could be solved by using a specific rule, was administered to low-SES and middle-SES first and third grade boys. Differences between grades were found for the more difficult sets. In these cases, the third grade middle-SES subjects outperformed all of the other groups. For those subjects who reached a learning criterion, all groups performed significantly better on the transfer items. These findings suggest that although there are social-class differences in rate of acquisition, once criterion has been reached there is considerably less evidence that what has been learned is different for different social class groups.
