In a study by Bowers and colleagues (1990),participants were shown three words and were asked to generate a fourth word consistent with the series.These researchers found that participants:
A)could not distinguish series that were solvable from those that were not above chance levels.
B)exhibited a strong bias to report that series were solvable.
C)exhibited a strong bias to report that series were unsolvable.
D)could classify series as solvable or unsolvable,even if they could not solve them.
