The Equivalence of Positive and Negative Methods of Validating a Learning Hierarchy.

Kee, Kevin N.; White, Richard T.

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v4 n3 p253-59 Jul 1979

The compound nature of Gagne's original definition of learning hierarchies leads to two methods of validation, the positive and negative methods. Sections of a hierarchy that had been validated by the negative method were subjected to test by the more cumbersome positive method, and again were found to be valid. (Author/RD)
