Kenneth Mark Colby, Lawrence G. Tesler, Horace Enea · 1969
A large data base was collected from a human informant. The data consisted of beliefs regarding parent-child relations. A variety of factors in searching the data base were manipulated in an attempt to discover which were the more important in contributing to estimates of credibility. Problems of data collection, data representation and a searching algorithm are discussed in detail.
