    "abstract": "Other-generated hypotheses are often considered easier\nto test than self-generated hyptitheses. T o determine\nthe precise effects of other-generated hypotheses, w e\npropose three kinds of effects and describe a study\ndesigned to test for these effects of hypothesis source.\nT h e three kinds of effects considered are: (i) hypothesis\nplausibility changes, (ii) skepticism changes, and (iii)\nprocess changes. Forty-two undergraduate subjects\nwere given a microworld discovery task called\nMilktruck. Subjects either had to generate their o w n\ninitial hypothesis or were given the most frequently\ngenerated hypothesis. It w a s found that the other-\ngenerated hypothesis lead to m o r e thorough\ninvestigation of hypotheses resulting in a decrease in\nfalse terminations with incorrect solutions. T h e results\nsuggested these effects were caused by an increjise in\nskepticism rather than changes in hypothesis\nplausibility or process changes.",
