EFFECT OF SPACED AND VARIED PRACTICE ON THE TRANSFER OF A PRINCIPLE

The effects of a learning module on transfer of training of a principle following spaced and varied practice of that principle were investigated using high school science students (N = 41). Treatment groups received spaced and varied practice, direct instruction for transfer (the transfer module) or both. Dependent measures were tests for near transfer. / The test score means for the combination of treatments was higher than for the spaced and varied practice group or for the transfer module group on the near and far transfer tests. The spaced and varied practice group scored higher on the two dependent measures than the transfer module group. The difference between the combination treatment group and the transfer module group was found statistically significant on the near transfer test. / Essential and supportive procedures used to improve the success and the breadth of the transfer performance were suggested. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 43-07, Section: A, page: 2227. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1982.
