Content Emphasis, Practice, and Cognitive Style in Analogical Problem Solving.
Hsu, Chia-Ling; Wedman, John F.
Journal of Research and Development in Education, v28 n1 p1-10 Fall 1994
This study investigated the effect of content emphasis, learning practice, and field dependence/independence on college students' analogous problem-solving skills. Under certain conditions, field-independent subjects performed significantly better than field-dependent subjects. Subjects given a principle-based content emphasis performed significantly better than those given a procedure-based content emphasis. (Author/SM)
