Distribution of Reading Time When Questions are Asked about a Restricted Category of Text Information.
Reynolds, Ralph E.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v71 n2 p183-90 Apr 1979
College students read a text either with or without inserted questions. Question groups performed better, relative to controls, on post-test items that repeated inserted questions, and on new post-test items from the same categories as the inserted questions. A selective attention interpretation of the effect of inserted questions was made. (Author/RD)
