Long-term Retention of Information Following Learning from Prose.
Gagne, Ellen D.
Review of Educational Research, v48 n4 p629-65 Fall 1978
Variables affecting long-term retention are examined: (1) learner history--including ability, prior knowledge and self-confidence; (2) events (teaching techniques) occurring immediately before reading; (3) events occurring during reading; and (4) events in the retention interval, particularly practice effects. The ACT associationist model is used to interpret these variables. (CP)
