| Summary: | This study describes efforts to create instructional materials cognitively appealing to students demonstrating aptitude for figurally, verbally, or symbolically oriented material. Subjects were given a battery of tests designed to measure their figural, semantic, and symbolic aptitudes. Subjects then studied a unit on network tracing in one of these modes. Criterion variables were scores on tests of: immediate retention, retention after one week, and retention after four weeks. T-statistics confirmed that the verbal lesson was verbally oriented and not figurally or symbolically oriented and did not confirm that the figural (symbolic) lesson was figural (symbolic). Few significant aptitude-treatment interactions resulted. (Author) |
