The Processing of Analogous Problems in the Verbal and Visual-Humorous (Cartoons) Modalities by Gifted/Average Children.
Klavir, Rama; Gorodetsky, Malka
Gifted Child Quarterly, v45 n3 p205-15 Sum 2001
A study found gifted middle schoolers (n=60) solved analogous problems better when presented in verbal form, but improved skills in both modalities once exposed to the solution of analogous problems in the visual-humorous modality. Average children (n=60) tended to solve cartoons better, but working with cartoons increased verbal problem-solving skills. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
