Facilitation of Learning and Retention of Oral Instruction Using Advance and Post Organizers.

Alexander, Livingston; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, v71 n5 p701-07 Oct 1979

In conjunction with oral instruction in social studies, students were assigned to one of five organizer treatment conditions. Treatment conditions consisted of an advance or a post organizer presented visually or orally. Results indicated that nonwritten cognitive organizers facilitated both the learning and the retention of oral instruction. (Author/RD)
