Eggen, Paul D.; And Others

Journal of Experimental Education, v46 n4 p7-11 Sum 1978, 78

This study combined research on conceptual hierarchies and research on conceptual cues, for the purpose of measuring the effectiveness of combining supplementary cues with text material that has been organized hierarchically. It was hypothesized that subjects provided with hierarchical cues would score higher on post-tests measuring comprehension that would control subjects. (Author/RK)
