A Comparison of Sentence-Learning Errors in Children of Different Achievement Levels.

Levin, Joel R.; And Others

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v3 n4 p358-66 Oct 1978

High and low achievers listened to 20 sentences under imagery or repetition instructions. The next day, learning was assessed by multiple choice items in which correct alternatives were stated in either verbatim or synonym form, and incorrect alternatives contained either familiar or new words. Implications for test construction were discussed. (Author/RD)
