Abstract
- Summary Dyadic performances on easy and difficult cross-word puzzles were examined for possible temporal changes in the ability-performance relationship. Ss were 144 male undergraduates. Results indicated that there were differences in the point in time at which member ability maximally predicted group performance, with the peak r tending to occur earlier on the difficult task than on the easy task. However, the maximum ability-performance relationship occurred earlier on tasks performed in a relatively favorable task-solving organizational structure. After reaching a peak, the ability-performance relationship declined over time, with this effect being most pronounced on the easy task.
