Effects of Overt Controlled Verbalization and Goal-Specific Search on Acquisition of Procedural Knowledge in Problem Solving.

Peer reviewed

Zook, Kevin B.; Di Vesta, Francis J. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1989

Results indicate that acquisition can be influenced by teaching methods emphasizing conscious attention to goals. (SLD)
