Interaction of General, Fluid, and Crystallized Ability and Instruction in Sixty-Grade Mathematics
James, Michael A.; Knief, Lotus M.
Journal of Educational Psychology, 70, 3, 319-23, Jun 78
Sixth-grade students were measured on fluid and crystallized ability, given instructions stressing one of the abilities, and pre- and posttested on a mathematical concept. Results suggest that students with lower general ability benefit most by instruction focused on fluid ability, and students with higher general ability by instruction focused on crystallized ability.
