Processing Differences as a Function of Item Difficulty in Verbal Analogy Performance.

Gitomer, Drew H.; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, v79 n3 p212-19 Sep 1987

Processing of verbal analogies was evaluated by recording eye fixation patterns during solution of problems that represented a broad range of difficulty. Findings on easier problems replicated previous work. On difficult items, high verbal ability individuals adapted processing strategies to a greater extent then did low ability students.
