Learner Expectations Induced by Adjunct Questions and the Retrieval of Intentional and Incidental Information

Sagaria, Sabato D.; Di Vesta, Francis J.

Journal of Educational Psychology, 70, 3, 280-8, Jun 78

One hundred-fifty subjects studied a passage with questions interspersed at different locations. Total level of acquisition was highest in treatments involving postquestions and no questions. The results were attributed to the influence of adjunct questions on learner expectations that affect the selective processing of information. (Author/JAC)
