Internal-external control of reinforcement and embedded-figures performance Male and female Ss were tested in an extended series of 68 embedded figures. Rate of decrease in discovery time was related to Ss' attitudes about locus of control of r~in.forcing outcomes. Results confirmed those of an earlier study, showing that practice dissipated sex-related performance differences observable in early trials.
