Individual Differences in Formal Thought: Role of Expectations and Aptitudes.
Linn, Marcia C.; Swiney, John F., Jr.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v73 n2 p274-86 Apr 1981
To investigate the role expectation based rules governing formal reasoning performance, a battery of group and individual aptitude measures and formal reasoning tests were administered to 17-year-olds. Individual differences in usage of these rules were clarified by establishing an overlap between an aptitude model and formal reasoning. (Author/AEF)
