Organizational Chunking and Postquestions in Facilitating Student Ability to Profit from Visualized Instruction.

McBride, Susan Diane; Dwyer, Francis M.

Journal of Experimental Education, v53 n3 p148-55 Spr 1985

The instructional effectiveness and efficiency of organizational chunking and batched postquestions within the framework of an information processing approach to learning and memory were investigated. Results indicated that the chunked treatment was a more efficient learning strategy. The intervening postquestion strategy helped reduce completion time of performance measures. (Author/DWH)
