Two non-verbal tasks of logical symbol use (SU) and of symbol discovery (SD) were devised. SU differentiated adults of higher and lower intelligence. Most pupils of chronological age (CA) 12 and older, but not younger, discovered the significance of the logical symbols in learning the paired associate task of SD. SD and SU were given to deaf subjects and to hearing subjects from a rural, lower-class milieu. These experimental subjects (CA around 18) performed similarly to controls on SU, but did not attain the success of 12-year-old controls on SD. On the basis of these results it is proposed that stimulating past experience may be required for success on certain conceptual tasks which are of the discovery type and depend on the initiative of the subject, but that more structured tasks of logical reasoning are not adversely affected by restricted experience or linguistic deficiency.
