q2 i? Subjects given a device model before procedure training learned procedures faster, retained them more accurately, executed them faster, and simplified inefficient procedures more often than a rote-learning group. → Ellen P. Hall 1995

q2 · i? · design · r2

The report attributes this to experiments by Kieras and Bovair (1984) in which one group learned control-panel operating procedures by rote while another received device topology and internal-structure instruction first; the report states the device-model group "learned the procedures faster, retained them more accurately." No effect sizes are printed.

"they learned the procedures faster, retained them more accurately, executed them faster, and simplified the inefficient procedures more often than the rote group."
