Abstract
Summary:
The study investigates the role of knowledge of results in a programed learning situation, using the published programed text, <i>The Analysis of Behavior</i>, Part I The study seeks (1) to ascertain the differential effects of varying the condition of knowledge of results (independent variable) in the programed learning of certain selected concepts, as measured by <i>immediate</i> achievement (dependent variable no. 1); (2) to determine the differential effects of varying knowledge of results in the programed learning of the selected concepts, as measured by a comparison of <i>retention</i> (dependent variable no. 2); and (3) to determine the relationship that exists between measured intelligence and the schedule of knowledge of results, as measured by both immediate achievement and retention.
