Owens, R. David – Journal of Educational Television, 1987
Investigated the extent to which three personological variables (age, level of education, and attitude towards television) affect the amount learned from a documentary by adults over 50 years of age. The results indicated that education was the most reliable and important predictor of retention: as education increased, so did retention. (Author/RP)
