Evaluation of a Hierarchical Mapping Technique as an Aid to Prose Processing.
Holley, Charles D.; And Others
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v4 n3 p227-37 Jul 1979
College students were trained on a hierarchical mapping technique designed to facilitate prose processing. The students studied a geology passage and five days later were given four types of tests. The treatment group significantly outperformed a control group; the major differences were attributable to concept cloze and essay exams. (Author/RD)
