Learner-Generated Organizational Aids: Effects on Learning from Text.
Dee-Lucas, Diana; DiVesta, Francis F.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v72 n3 p304-11 Jun 1980
This study compared the effects on learning from text of four contexts (topic sentences, headings, related sentences, unrelated sentences)--either generated by readers or provided in text. Tests included free recall, matching, and knowledge of passage structure. One result was that readers who generated topic sentences recalled the most. (Author/GDC)
