S ummary . Students taking a sophomore course in logic and students taking a sophomore course in applied psychology were administered the Valentine Reasoning Test during the first and last weeks of the semester. A test was made of the null hypothesis that there would be no difference in the test score due to type of instruction. The null hypothesis could not be rejected. The implication for the use of this test in the admission of advanced transfer students is indicated.
