SEVENTY-TWO DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN WERE DIVIDED INTO THREE MATCHED GROUPS. GROUP A…

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…
