Wright, Jone P.; Wright, C. Dan
Journal of Educational Research, v79 n6 p358-62 Jul-Aug 1986

Subjects were then administered tests with standard and personalized problems. Results indicated that personalization improved performance in selecting the correct process but not in computation of correct answers. (Author/MT)
