Pictorial Support and Specific Instructions as Design Variables for Children's Concept and Rule Learning.

Tennyson, Robert D.

Educational Communication and Technology: A Journal of Theory, Research, and Development, v26 n4 p291-99 Win 1978

Two design strategies were tested on 69 elementary school children to investigate (1) the effect of using three types of pictorial supports to focus student attention on the important features of a concept or rule, and (2) the importance of specific pretraining instruction on using the pictorial to notice and label relevant rules and concepts.
