Incidental Learning, Intelligence, and Verbal Ability.

Necka, Edward; And Others

Learning and Instruction, v2 n2 p141-53 1992

The effects of incidental learning were assessed in 2 experiments involving 201 seventh graders in Poland through an experimental paradigm based on the levels of processing theory. Data suggest that an important aspect of intelligence is "opportunistic" learning (learning in advance). Intelligent people take cognitive advantage of existing opportunities. (SLD)
