Knowledge of Terms and Problem-solving in Chemistry.
Sumfleth, Elke
International Journal of Science Education, v10 n1 p45-60 Jan-Mar 1988

Used were an explanation test, an achievement test, and a connectivity test. Results indicated knowledge of terms was a necessary, but not sufficient, prerequisite for successful problem solving.
