Peer reviewedShayer, Michael; Adey, Philip S. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1992
A 1-year lag was found between the effect of an intervention intended to promote formal operational thinking in students initially 11 or 12 years of age and the appearance of substantial science achievement in the experimental groups. A one-year lag on cognitive development and an age/gender interaction were also reported. (Author/KR)
