. The pair, duo‐trio and triangle tests were compared, using three levels of instructions with orange drink as medium and sucrose as stimulus. If the subjects know only the nature of the test, the pair test cannot be performed and the frequencies of correct responses above chance of the two other tests do not differ significantly, in this case the triangle test is the more efficient. If the subjects know the nature of the test and the nature of the stimulus, the frequency of correct responses above chance obtained for the pair test is significantly higher than those of the two other tests, in this case the pair test is more efficient. Finally, if the subjects know the nature of the test, the nature of the stimulus and whether or not the sample to be selected contains the stimulus, the conclusions are more difficult to achieve but the triangle test seems to be the more efficient.
