Abstract Subjects learning single-cue probability learning tasks were told that the cue presented to them was only one of the two cues necessary for perfect predictions of the criterion. Because they knew that the information was incomplete, they also knew that there was only a probabilistic relation between the cue and the criterion. Subjects given this information did not, however, perform better than control subjects not given this information, indicating that this way of giving the subjects information about the probabilistic nature of the task is no more effective than giving them information that probabilism is an inherent feature of the cue-criterion system as done in earlier experiments.
