Adult subjects were given concrete and abstract textbook passages to study by using either an imaginai or verbal strategy. Two days later, they were given a multiple-choice test and a production test of comprehension. The verbal strategy produced better comprehension than the imaginai strategy; concrete passages were comprehended better than abstract passages, but only according to the production test; and strategy and concreteness did not interact. Differences between these results and results obtained in imagery research on word lists are discussed, and caution is advised before generalizing the word research to meaningful prose learning by adults

Two experiments investigated the information conveyed by intonation from speaker to listener. A multiple-choice test was devised to test the ability of 48 adults to recognize and label intonation when it was separated from all other meaning. Nine intonation contours whose labels were most agreed upon by adults were each matched with two English sentences (one with appropriate and one with inappropriate intonation and semantic content) to make a matching-test for children. The matching-test was tape-recorded and given to children in the first, third, and fifth grades (32 subjects in each grade). The first-grade children matched the intonations with significantly greater agreement than chance; but they agreed upon significantly fewer sentences than either the third or fifth graders. Some intonation contours were matched with significantly greater frequency than others. The performance of the girls was better than that of the boys on an impatient question and a simple command which indicates that there was a significant interaction between sex and intonation.

The study was designed to investigate the learning and retention of prose materials. Immediate and 1-wk retention was examined in Ss who had either read a 2,300-word passage (LP) on science fiction or a 300-word short passage (SP). The short passage was derived from the information retained over a 1-wk period by Ss who read and learned the long passage. Retention was assessed by a 30-item multiple-choice test based upon information in the long passage. One-way analysis of variance of posttest scores from 200 adults indicated that for 1-wk retention the short passage was retained significantly ( p < .01) better than the long one. There was no significant difference on immediate retention. The results were discussed in terms of current cognitive learning theory, prose-learning paradigms, and classroom procedures related to the presentation of new material.

This study aims to develop a three tier multiple choice test instrument on chemical equilibrium material to identify misconceptions in students. The development model used by Borg and Gall (1983): (1) research and data collection, (2) planning, (3) developing product drafts, (4) conducting initial field trials, (5) making revisions to initial products; (6) conducting limited field tests, (7) product improvement. This research was conducted with 60 respondents. Validation uses the Aiken method with 5 expert validators. The conclusion is that the three tier multiple choice test instrument developed was declared to be feasible and met the criteria as a good problem with the average aiken validity of 0.87. The instrument was declared feasible in terms of the reliability of the test 0.806 included in the high category, has a distinguishing power of 0.351 so that it was categorized as good. Difficulty level found 20% categorized as easy problems, 71.11% categorized as moderate and 8.89% categorized as difficult. Based on the deception index, it was concluded that the deception mostly worked better than the answer key and the deception value mostly more than 5% was chosen so that it was declared effective. Three Tier Multiple Choice Test instrument seen from the practicality included in good categories with a percentage of 78.28%.

<p>The purpose of this study was to determine the contribution of logical intelligence and interest in learning to Mathematics achievement. The method used in this study from survey and the study was conducted in SMA Depok municipality. Techniques used in the data collection done by using a questionnaire written test multiple choice test and questionnaire. Analysis of the data in this study using descriptive statistical methods with multiple regression testing.where this research results showed in: there is a significant influence jointly between logical intelligence variables (X1) and interest in learning (X2) on mathematics achievement (Y),which means learners have a good logical <br />intelligence and has been interested in Mathematics will greatly affect the learning achievement in SMA Depok municipality</p>
