Different Problem-Solving Competencies Established in Learning Computer Programming With and Without Meaningful Models
Mayer, Richard E.
Journal of Educational Psychology, 67, 6, 725-34, Dec 75

The model used was especially helpful for low ability subjects. Practice in interpretation helped nonmodel subjects most and practice in writing simple programs helped model subjects most.
