Study Time and Test Performance as a Function of Test Expectations.
D'Ydewalle, Gery; And Others
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v8 n1 p55-67 Jan 1983
Study time and test performance change as a function of expecting either open or multiple-choice questions on a history test. Subjects tested in either format were led to expect the same test format on a second test. Subjects expecting open questions studied more and performed better on both test formats. (Author/CM)
