Diaz, Rolando J.; Glass, Carol R.; Arnkoff, Diane B.; Tanofsky-Kraff, Marian

Journal of Educational Psychology, v93 n2 p420-29 Jun 2001

Different processes appear to operate in each of the two academic tasks. The implications of the results for law school education and future research are discussed. (BF)
