Usefulness of a Balance Model in Understanding the Mean.
Hardiman, Pamela Thibodeau; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n5 p792-801 Oct 1984
Using 48 undergraduates, this study tested whether improving students' knowledge of balance rules through experience with a balance beam promotes understanding of the weighted mean. Subjects classified as nonbalancers performed significantly better on the transfer problems if they had been given balance training rather than assigned to the control condition. (Author/BS)
