q2 i? Children who chose their own anagram category solved the most anagrams and were most likely to take more anagrams home voluntarily. → Angeline S. Lillard 2019

q2 · i? · review · r2

The review reports the Iyengar and Lepper (1999) experiments, in which children who chose a category of anagrams to solve "solved the most anagrams" and were most likely to take more home, versus a yoked group whose category was chosen for them.

"Students in the first group solved the most anagrams and were most likely to choose to take more anagrams home to solve on their own"
