The Role of Diagrammatic Respresentation in Learning Sequences, Identification and Classification as a Function of Verbal and Spatial Ability.

Winn, William

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v19 n1 p79-89 Jan 1982

Flow diagrams running across a page from either left to right or right to left, or with or without drawings of dinosaurs, were used. (JN)
