Studies of Information Processing Rates in Science Learning and Related Cognitive Variables. II: A First Approximation to Estimating a Relationship Between Science Reasoning Skills and Information Acquisition.

Anderson, O. Roger; Callaway, J.

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v23 n1 p67-72 Jan 1986

An empirical analysis of the relationship between science reasoning skills and the amount of information acquired during science learning as predicted by a neuromathematical model of information processing is presented. Subjects were 93 adolescents (mean age of 15.4 years old) with a IQ range of 91-142. (Author/JN)
