Elaborative and Integrative Thought Processes in Mathematics Learning.

Swing, Susan; Peterson, Penelope

Journal of Educational Psychology, v80 n1 p54-66 Mar 1988

The effects on mathematics achievement of having fifth graders engage in elaborative and integrative processing were studied using 121 students. Subjects were randomly assigned to cognitive-processing, fact-sheet, or control groups. Results show that cognitive processing is related to memory and understanding and is more effective for higher ability students. (SLD)
