Dissonant Forms of "Memorising" and "Repetition."

Meyer, Jan H. F.; Shanahan, Martin P.

Studies in Higher Education, v28 n1 p5-20 2003

Examines the phenomenon of dissonant forms of memorizing and repetition from both location and structural perspectives. Attention is drawn to clear evidence that supports, in particular, an argument in favor of gender-response differences in both location and structural dissonance. Also illustrates how the isolation of dissonant response patterns may be approached analytically. (Author/EV)
