The Effects of Pacing and Mode of Adjunct Questions on Short and Long Term Retention of Written Materials.

Abstract

The report summarizes the results of a study to determine the overall effectiveness of adjunct programming techniques and to determine further whether the form and frequency of self test questions contained in the adjunct program have differential effects on learning. Four formats of adjunct programs were used by different groups as a supplement while reading text on military justice. A fifth group read the text without the aid of an adjunct program. Results are discussed in terms of short and long term retention effects and on the retention of incidental and relevant information.
