Novices (N = 14) were graduate students in psychology who reported a mean of 1.8 years professional experience; experts (N = 14) were university counseling center psychologists with a mean of 13 years experience and who were peer-nominated as experts. All were presented with the same short description of a client and her presenting problem, then were to ask whatever questions they believed necessary to make an assessment and treatment plan. Experts and novices did not differ with respect to their confidence in their assessment. However, compared to novices, experts requested significantly more information (Ms of 23.1 vs. 14.9 questions) and focused less on crisis aspects of the client situation (56.5 vs. 64.4% of the questions).
