Information Processing in Low- and High-Test-Anxious Children as a Function of Grade Level and Verbal Labeling
Dusek, Jerome B.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, 11, 5, 651-652, Sep 75
Attention to task-relevant and task-irrelevant information was compared in high- and low-test-anxious children. Results indicated that high-test anxious persons divide their attention in evaluative situations. It is suggested that providing them with task-relevant strategies helps them to cope with the negative effects of test anxiety. (JMB)
