Meng, Karen; Patty, Del
Journal of Educational Research, v84 n3 p183-89 Jan-Feb 1991
A study evaluated the effectiveness of contextual organizers for subjects (n=276) of three cognitive styles (field dependent, field independent, and field intermediate) during computer-assisted instruction. Findings were advance organizers were more effective for field-dependent subjects; postorgainzers were more effective for field-intermediate subjects; and field-intermediate group's instructional needs were qualitatively different.
