Aiding Transfer in Statistics: Examining the Use of Conceptually Oriented Equations and Elaborations during Subgoal Learning.
Atkinson, Robert K.; Catrambone, Richard; Merrill, Mary Margaret
Journal of Educational Psychology, v95 n4 p762-73 Dec 2003
Hypothesizes that learners who studied statistics examples with conceptually oriented equations would transfer more successfully to novel problems compared with learners who studied examples using computationally oriented equations. This hypothesis was supported across 2 experiments. The authors also examined the implications of providing learners with elaborations of the procedures illustrated in the examples either before or after they studied them. (Contains 35 references, 2 tables, and 4 figures.) (GCP)
