Subclaims¶

q2 i? When kinescopes were used for review in conjunction with regular training, learning was greater than from regular training alone. → Kanner 1955 q2 i? The kinescope review technique caused low-aptitude trainees to score more nearly like high-aptitude groups who had had regular instruction. → Kanner 1955 (2)

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Retention comparison between review without further training and with kinescope review in the Army basic training evaluation. The report found learning "was greater than that which resulted from regular training alone" when kinescope review was added.

"When the kinescopes were used for review in conjunction wiCh regular training it was found that learning was greater than that which resulted from regular training alone."

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Aptitude analysis of the kinescope review comparison for low- and high-aptitude trainees. The report states the review technique "caused low-aptitude trainees to score more nearly like high-aptitude groups" taught by regular instruction.

"The kinescope review technique caused low-aptitude trainees to score more nearly like high- aptitude groups who had had regular instruction."
