Effects of Headings on Text Processing.
Brooks, Larry W.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v75 n2 p292-302 Apr 1983
Two experiments examined the effects of embedded and intact (outline) headings on the processing of complex text material by college students. Results indicated that embedded headings reliably improved delayed test performance. It was further found that instructions in the use of headings as processing aids facilitated test performance.
