Measuring Individual Differences with an Information-Processing Model

Yen, Wendy, M.

Journal of Educational Psychology, 70, 1, 72-86, Feb 78

An information processing model was fitted to individual learning of paired associates and word definitions for 378 fifth to tenth-grade students. Reliable individual differences in acquisition rate and long-term retention were found. Correlations with traditional aptitude and achievement scores were discussed; no significant sex or ethnic group differences were found. (Author/GDC)
