Learning from Instructional Text: Test of an Individual-Differences Model.
Britton, Bruce K.; Stimson, Mark; Stennett, Barry; Gulgoz, Sami
Journal of Educational Psychology, v90 n3 p476-91 Sep 1998

Results strongly supported the model, which suggests that learning from text is determined by making connections among ideas that include the text and prior learning. Making the connections depends on individual differences. (SLD)
