Effect of Generic Advance Instructions on Learning a Classification Task.
Ellis, John A.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v78 n4 p294-99 Aug 1986

Results showed that the instruction group and adjunct-questions group did equally well on classifying new and old instances of U.S. Navy call signs. (Author/LMO)
