Description¶

A factorial set of "Twelve different training-film presentations on elementary electricity" combining four review treatments and three sub-titling treatments, each shown to 3 high school classes for a total of 36 classes and 1263 subjects with pre- and post-tests. The design allowed the study to compare massed versus spaced versus no review and sub-titling levels within one experiment.
