Role of Concept Definition, Teaching Examples, and Practice on Concept Learning from Prose.
Hamilton, Richard
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v14 n4 p357-65 Oct 1989
Two experiments, each with 132 undergraduates, evaluated the effects of definition adjunct questions on concept learning. In both experiments, only unmatched application adjunct questions preceded by a definition question produced higher performance on criterion questions than did definition questions only. The effective use of definition questions is discussed. (SLD)
