Achievement, Understanding, and Transfer in a Learning Hierarchy.

Winkles, Jim

American Educational Research Journal, v23 n2 p275-88 Sum 1986

A mathematics learning hierarchy was developed, with examples of lateral and vertical transfer instructional treatments--achievement only, or achievement with understanding--were used with 177 eighth and ninth graders. The achievement with understanding treatment was better for lateral transfer for most students, and vertical transfer for the more mathematically able. (Author/GDC)
