Abstract Compared the performance of pupils in Grades 5 and 6 working on programmed materials either singly or in pairs. In each of 5 groups, 10 Ss operated singly and 10 in 5 pairs. The pairs were classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous. The members of the heterogeneous pairs were further classified as having high or low intellectual capacities, scoring high or low on neuroticism, and having high or low motivation.
