An Examination of Prerequisite Relations, Positive Transfer among Learning Tasks, and Variations in Instruction for a Seriation Hierarchy.

Bergan, John R.; Jeska, Patrick

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v5 n3 p203-15 Jul 1980

This study investigated the hypothesis that prerequisite skills in a seriation learning hierarchy mediate positive transfer for superordinate skills. In addition, the effect of instructional conditions involving modeling combined with variations in feedback on skill acquisition at different levels in the seriation sequence was examined.
