An Aptitude X Strategy Interaction in Linear Syllogistic Reasoning.

Sternberg, Robert J.; Weil, Evelyn M.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v72 n2 p226-39 Apr 1980

This study demonstrated an aptitude-strategy interaction in linear syllogistic reasoning; specifically, that the efficiency of each of four alternative strategies for solving linear syllogisms would depend on subjects' verbal and spatial abilities. The four strategies, as well as research methods in aptitude-treatment interaction, are discussed. (Author/GDC)
