Overprompting Science Students Using Adjunct Study Questions.
Holliday, William G.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v20 n3 p195-201 Mar 1983
The selective attention model was used to explain effects of overprompting students (N=170) provided with study questions adjunct to a complex flow diagram describing scientific cyclical schema. Strongly prompting students to answers of questions was less effective than an unprompted question treatment, suggesting that prompting techniques be used with extreme caution. (JN)
