Abstract
The current study is a pilot study, in which a computerized dynamic test paradigm based on
analogical reasoning was used in a clinical sample. The relationship between fluid reasoning
and visual processing on the one hand, and learning potential on the other hand was
investigated. Furthermore, the relationship between fluid reasoning and instructional needs
was examined. The sample consisted of thirteen specialist mental healthcare in- and
outpatients. Two of them only completed a pre- and post-test, five received unguided practice,
and six of them received a guided training and in between the pre- and post-test. The results
showed that learning was equal across groups, suggesting that a training effect did not take
place. Fluid reasoning and visual processing were not related to learning potential. Fluid
reasoning did relate to instructional needs. Future research in a larger sample is necessary to
support the findings and generalize them to clinical practice.
