Preferred Model Selection in the Validation of Scales Involving Hierarchical Dependencies among Learning Tasks.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bergan, John R. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1980
This study illustrates a process for selecting a preferred model in the validation of hierarchical learning scales. The test performance of 100 8-to 11-year-old children on subtraction tasks involving variations in borrowing are examined. Goodman's response scaling technique is illustrated. (Author/GDC)

An Examination of Prerequisite Relations, Positive Transfer among Learning Tasks, and Variations in Instruction for a Seriation Hierarchy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bergan, John R.; Jeska, Patrick – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1980
This study investigated the hypothesis that prerequisite skills in a seriation learning hierarchy mediate positive transfer for superordinate skills. In addition, the effect of instructional conditions involving modeling combined with variations in feedback on skill acquisition at different levels in the seriation sequence was examined.…
