Linn, Marcia C.; And Others
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v18 n5 p435-47 Sep 1981
Examines content and problem effects of formal thought in 13-year-olds (N=120). Three controlling variables tasks with different content and two question-type tests (analysis and controlling questions) were administered. Findings, among others, indicate that content and problem effects contribute to variance on formal reasoning problems. (Author/DS)
