In the pair of experiments reported here the authors investigated the relationship between meaningfulness of problem statements and subjects' use of these statements in problem-solving tasks. Subjects (96 university students) were required to memorize meaningful formulae such as "volume = area x height" or corresponding symbolic formulae such as…

This paper reports a study which attempted to generalize earlier results obtained by Eastman to another mathematical content area. Two hundred eight ninth-grade algebra students were randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The figural-inductive treatment presented concepts of logic through the use of Euler diagrams in an inductive mode;…

District of Columbia Public Schools, Washington, DC. Dept. of Research and Evaluation. – 1975
The purpose of this project was to relate mathematics studies to the students' natural enthusiasm for popular music and favorite performers. Learning modules rather than lesson plans were used as the teaching approach in the experimental music-mathematics classes. Stated objectives of the project were (1) to motivate students to learn to code and…

Behr, Merlyn J.; Eastman, Phillip M. – 1975
Two scales designed to measure cognitive preferences were constructed; this study was designed to validate these scales, and to investigate the relationship between instruction and cognitive preference. Items for both scales had elementary mathematics content. One scale was intended to measure deductive-inductive preference, the other…

Peer reviewedHalford, Graeme S. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 1978
Proposes that cognitive developmental stages can be accounted for in terms of information processing factors which limit the highest level of cognitive system which children can attain at any given age. Delineates four progressively more complex levels of cognitive mediation of the environment. Two experiments which support the developmental model…
