Cognitive Style and the Effects of Two Instructional Treatments on the Acquisition and Transfer of the Ability to Control Variables: A Longitudinal Study.
Strawitz, Barbara M.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v21 n8 p833-41 Nov 1984
Long-term retention effects of two methods of instruction used one year earlier to teach field-dependent and field-independent sixth-grade students to control variables and to transfer this ability to novel tasks were investigated. Also examined whether or not uninstructed seventh-grade students had acquired this ability on their own. (Author/JN)
