This document discusses how the organization of instruction influences the encoding and structuring of new material in the memory and the subsequent transfer of such information to novel situations. A theory of instruction for problem solving that considers relevant cognitive variables and that specifies the conditions for productive learning is…

Kane, Robert B.; And Others – 1971
The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate procedures for validating a learning hierarchy from test data. An initial hierarchy for the computational skills of adding rational numbers with like denominators was constructed using Gagne's task analysis. A test designed to assess mastery at each of the 11 levels in this hierarchy was…

Passmore, David L. – 1974
The need for an empirically defensible means of sequencing instruction appears to have been the primary motivator for research into learning hierarchies. Four methods for generating candidates for learning hierarchies were reviewed: introspection, formal analysis, observation, and statistical "fishing." Experimental transfer of training…

BERNHEIM, GLORIA D. – 1967
THREE- AND 4-YEAR-OLDS WERE GIVEN VERBAL LEARNING PRETRAINING TO DETERMINE ITS EFFECT UPON THE PERFORMANCE OF REVERSAL AND NONREVERSAL SHIFT DISCRIMINATION TASKS. THE EXPERIMENTAL TASK WAS THE CLASSICAL REVERSAL-NONREVERSAL SHIFT PARADIGM. THE 96 PRE-SCHOOLERS, PRIMARILY FROM THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY NURSERY SCHOOL, WERE DIVIDED INTO 4…

Frederiksen, John R.; And Others – 1983
Research was conducted to investigate the interactions among component processes of reading and to determine if a hierarchical training model, in which particular reading components are developed sequentially, is an effective way to build reading skills for a target population. Three game-like microcomputer training systems were constructed, each…

O'Malley, J. Michael – 1971
A curriculum hierarchy evaluation (CHE) model was developed by combining a transfer paradigm with an aptitude-treatment-task interaction (ATTI) paradigm. Positive transfer was predicted between sequentially arranged tasks, and a programed or nonprogramed treatment was predicted to interact with aptitude and with tasks. Eighteen four and five…
