A low correlation obtained between acquisition and retention measures for the CP group raised some questions about the effect of continuous progress procedures on retention. (Authors/CB)

It is hypothesized that the absence of a critic to provide effective feedback concerning model behavior will be associated with significant undervaluing by the subject of his performance. (Author)

Results revealed a disordinal interaction such that while the teacher-centered mode optimized learning for high-anxious students, the student-centered approach resulted in superior exam performance for low-anxious students. (Authors)
