Abstract: Two types of cue-criterion relationships were differentiated. They were the probabilistic structure in which the cue hits the criterion value at a given percentage and the covarying structure in which the cue values have significant regression upon the criterion value. These two structures were compared with regard to the detectability of cues in a task of detecting and utilizing the relevant cue, the payoff for correct utilization being controled. Ss were female college students. The probabilistic cue was clearly easier to detect, and the covarying cue was practically unrecognizable when the effect of higher percentage of hit was partialed out. Some of possible limitations, hypotheses and implications were discussed.
