Peer reviewedVan Gerven, P. W. M.; Paas, F. G. W. C.; Van Merrienboer, J. J. G.; Schmidt, H. G. – Learning and Instruction, 2002
Studied the efficiency of worked examples as a substitute for conventional practice problems in training both elderly (24 older adults in the Netherlands) and young adults (30 Dutch college students). As predicted, results show that for the elderly, the efficiency of studying worked examples is higher than the efficiency of solving conventional…

Both good and poor students had models of problem situations at their disposal, but good students performed better than poor students. (SLD)
