Cognitive Psychology Principles for Redesigning the FAFSA.
Czarnolewski, Mark Y.
Journal of Student Financial Aid, v25 n2 p19-24 Spr 1995
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a complex form completed annually by millions of postsecondary students applying for federal financial aid. Errors frequently require resubmission. It is suggested that cognitive psychology principles that help describe how people understand text and complete forms be applied to a redesigned form to decrease completion errors. (MSE)
