The Relation between Self-Selected Study Processes and Test Performance.
Nist, Sherrie L.; And Others
American Educational Research Journal, v28 n4 p849-74 Win 1991

Results with 123 college freshmen trained to use study strategies suggest that executive control is related to test performance and that trained subjects select a variety of strategies differentially.
