Incidental and Relevant Learning with Instructional Objectives

Duchastel, Philippe C.; Brown, Bobby R.

Journal of Educational Psychology, 66, 4, 481-5, Aug 74

College students received either one half of the objectives for a certain test or no objectives at all. The subjects with objectives performed better than those without on posttest items referenced to their objectives (relevant learning) and less well on items not covered (incidental learning). Findings conflict with previous research. (Author/SE)
