Static and Dynamic Measures of Ability: An Experimental Comparison.
Day, Jeanne D.; Cordon, Luis A.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v85 n1 p75-82 Mar 1993
A dynamic measure (number of examples needed to reach mastery) predicted transfer but not maintenance of a learned strategy for 64 third graders trained by scaffolded (n=32) or nonscaffolded (n=32) methods. A static measure had some predictive utility in the nonscaffolded condition. The potential superiority of scaffolded instruction is discussed. (SLD)
