Abstract

Tested the hypothesis that the more precisely one can express a concept in a given language, the easier it will be for Ss to acquire that concept. 24 illiterate adults and 48 bilingual children who were Adjukru of the Ivory Coast were administered various parts of the 4-card problem. Results were compared with J. Gay and M. Cole's (1967) results from the administration of the problems to the Kpelle of Liberia. The Kpelle and the Adjukru express inclusive disjunction in approximately the same way, but the Adjukru were found to have much more difficulty acquiring such concepts. Moreover, exclusive disjunction is expressed precisely and simply in Adjukru, but the acquisition of such concepts was found to be difficult. Results suggest the inadequacy of the above hypothesis.
