The Effect of Adjunct and Test Question Similarity on Study Behavior and Learning in a Training Course.

Ellis, John A.; And Others

American Educational Research Journal, v17 n4 p449-57 Win 1980

The effects of adjunct postquestions in an individualized training course were tested. Percent of adjunct questions identical to the lesson and final test questions was varied in four conditions: no questions, 0 percent, 50 percent, and 100 percent identical. The 100 percent group was superior on all measures. (Author/GK)
