Crosson, Amy C.; McKeown, Margaret G. – Cognition and Instruction, 2016
This study investigated how middle school students leverage information about bound Latin roots (e.g., "voc" in "advocate" and "vociferous") to infer meanings of unfamiliar words, and how instruction may facilitate morphological analysis using roots. A dynamic assessment of morphological analysis was administered to…

Peer reviewedRoyer, James M.; And Others – Cognition and Instruction, 1996
Evaluated three test development procedures designed to measure different levels of domain expertise. Experts and novices in psychology and physics took tests generated by the procedures intended to measure ability to understand, draw inferences from, and recognize "big ideas" in technical text. Results were consistent with the…
