Elaborative Inferences on an Expository Text.
Durgunoglu, Aydin Y.; Jehng, Jihn-Chang J.
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v16 n4 p314-30 Oct 1991
The distinction between remembering text information and applying the acquired knowledge (making inferences) was studied with a dissociation paradigm, using 110 undergraduates who performed verification and recognition tasks. The same variables did not affect performance on the two tasks. Text organization affected recognition but not verification test performance. (SLD)
