Abstract

journal abstract: 108 Ss completed either the Standard version or a Heavily-Prompted version of a 1,052-frame section of a psychology program. Half of the Ss made constructed responses while the remainder were instructed to "think" the answers that went into the blanks. As expected, those who received the Standard program scored higher on the posttest and took longer to complete the program than those who received the Heavily- Prompted version. Response mode made no difference. The results were interpreted as showing that arrangements of lesson material which permit the student to respond correctly without noticing the cue undermine performance.
