Peer reviewedHughson, E. Anne; Brown, Roy I. – Australia and New Zealand Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 1983
In two studies of verbal instruction of young mentally retarded adults, increasing the speed of verbal instruction reduced the level of nonverbal performance, particulary in subjects with poor nonverbal scores. Slight increases in speed of instruction can have major and negative impacts. Redundancy in verbal instruction inhibits nonverbal…

Research on the role of visual memory and serial recall in dyslexia is reviewed. Findings touch on feature theory, which proposes that information is held in the form of "features," and that students for example learn to discriminate letters by marking certain identifiable aspects. Other studies are described which focus on speed of processing…

GLASER, ROBERT; REYNOLDS, JAMES H. – 1963
3 EXPERIMENTS WERE DESIGNED TO FILL THE GAP BETWEEN LAB-ESTABLISHED VERBAL LEARNING PRINCIPLES AND THEIR APPLICATION TO COMPLEX VERBAL LEARNING BY USING THE TEACHING MACHINE TO CONTROL PRESENTATION VARIABLES SUCH AS AMOUNT AND ORDER OF MATERIAL EXPOSED. EXPERIMENT I MEASURED THE EFFECTS OF REPETITION AND SPACED REVIEW ON RETENTION, EXPERIMENT II…

Peer reviewedSmith, Anderson D. – Developmental Psychology, 1976
The results of this study indicate that age differences in the recall of high frequency word lists are not related to the total presentation time of the lists but appear to be affected by differences in retrieval processes as a function of age. (JMB)

Peer reviewedLaPorte, Ronald E.; Nath, Raghu – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1976
Investigates a subject's internalized goals and the relationship of the goals to test performance as a function of different learning instructions. Stating specific goals was found to produce the most significant results among subjects. (Author/DEP)

Steve, Michael H.; Tennyson, Robert D. – 1974
The effect on concept learning of requiring the memorization of either examples or nonexamples prior to going through a theoretically effective training program was compared to the performance of groups of seventh and eighth graders who either memorized nothing or memorized subconcepts of the concept definition. Correct classification scores and…

Peer reviewedPrather, Dirk C.; Berry, Gene A. – Education, 1973
The position is confirmed that both types of information feedback improve retention, but the delayed information feedback method is more effective. From this study it can be postulated that feedback in general does improve performance. (Authors/CB)

Twenty-nine third graders were trained in teacher led direct instruction to use a generalizable strategy to solve four structurally different types of verbal math problems. There was a significant difference between posttest scores of the two training conditions (sequential and random order) due primarily to gains of the students in sequential…
