Role of Adjunct Questions and Subject Ability Levels on the Learning of Concepts from Prose.

Hamilton, Richard J.

American Educational Research Journal, v23 n1 p87-94 Spr 1986

The effects of examples used with application adjunct questions on concept learning were evaluated. Results indicated that application adjunct questions did not produce significantly higher performance on criterion questions than no-question treatments. Matched adjunct questions produced higher levels of performance on criterion than unmatched questions. (Author.LMO)
