An Analysis of a Four-Category Concept in Science Using the Bower and Trabasso Model of Concept Identification.

Treagust, David F.; Lunetta, Vincent N.

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v15 n5 p343-54 Sep 1978

The purpose of this investigation was to test extensions of a model of concept learning. The investigators examined the applicability of a mathematical model to the learning of selected science concepts. Findings suggest that certain extensions of the model may apply for a complex concept identification task. (Author/MA)
