Effects of Students' Prior Knowledge and Presentation Mode on Achievement (Visual/Verbal Testing) of Different Educational Objectives.
Dwyer, Francis M.; Dwyer, Carol A. – 1990
The purposes of this study were to determine: (1) the effectiveness with which different types of rehearsal strategies complementing visualized instruction facilitate student achievement; (2) the effect of different instructional treatments on students' processing of different knowledge levels; and (3) whether verbal and visual tests are equally…

A Systematic Assessment of the Effect of Visual Testing of Visualized Instruction: A Justification for Instructional Congruency.
Dwyer, Francis M.; De Melo, Hermes – Journal of Visual/Verbal Languaging, 1984
This investigation evaluated performance of university students on visual and nonvisual versions of an achievement test. Two experimental designs assessed the effects and interactions between visual and nonvisual instructional modes, order of drawing test (before or after verbal/visual achievement test), and mode of drawing test (verbal cued or…

The Effect of Varied Practice Activities in Complementing Visualized Instruction.
Dwyer, Carol A. – 1987
The purpose of this study was to determine whether different types of practice strategies are equally effective in facilitating encoding strategies and in subsequent information acquisition and retrieval by students identified as possessing high, medium, and low prior knowledge levels in a content area. Within the context of the…

The Effect of Rehearsal Method and Rehearsal Time on Students' Information Acquisition and Retrieval.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dwyer, Carol A. – Journal of Instructional Psychology, 1986
A study of undergraduate students investigated whether different rehearsal strategies are more effective in facilitating achievement, whether certain rehearsal strategies require learners to spend more time interacting with instructional content, and whether verbal or visual testing requires students to spend more time processing and responding to…

The Effect of Visualized Instruction and Varied Rehearsal and Evaluation Strategies (Verbal and Visual) in Facilitating Students' Long-Term Retention on Tests Measuring Different Instructional Objectives.
Dwyer, Francis M. – Journal of Visual/Verbal Languaging, 1985
This study investigated effects of rehearsal strategies and immediate test formats on delayed retention and effectiveness of visualization on material acquisition and retrieval. Findings indicate different rehearsal methods have different effects in facilitating delayed retention. Information acquisition is facilitated by visualization, although…
