A Test of One Learner-Control Strategy with Students of Differing Levels of Task Persistence.
Carrier, Carol A.; Williams, Michael D.
American Educational Research Journal, v25 n2 p285-306 Sum 1988

Results of the study, which incorporated a task-persistence variable, indicate that persistence was related to performance and that learner control enhanced persistent subjects' performance. (TJH)
