Selective Attentional Effects of Textbook Study Questions on Student Learning in Science.
Holliday, William G.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v18 n4 p283-89 Jul 1981
Reports results of a study testing a selective attentional model which predicted that textbook study questions adjunct to a flow diagram will focus students' attention more upon questioned information and less upon nonquestioned information. A picture-word diagram describing biogeochemical cycles to high school biology students (N=176) was used. (CS)
