Effects of Learner Ability and Instructional Modifications on Time Needed for Learning and Retention.
Gettinger, Maribeth
Journal of Educational Research, v76 n6 p362-69 Jul-Aug 1983
A study examined the effects of two factors--learner ability and modifications of instruction through increased feedback and reduced size of instructional units--on the time required for learning and the retention of fourth-grade male students. While instructional modifications best predicted the time needed for learning, learner ability best predicted retention. (Author/PP)
