ResultsResults
Participants did not differ on pretest scores (p > .05).
The average posttest score was 84.71% (SD= 13.98) for
the experimental group and 61.11% (SD= 16.54) for the
control group, which was statistically significant,
t(16)=3.27, p =.005. Figure 1 displays posttest scores.
On average, experimental participants’ increased scores
by 30.09 percentage points, while control participants
increased by 7.87 percentage points (p=.017).
General ProcedureGeneral Procedure
Each participant completed a pretest, a computerized
teaching portion, and a posttest. The participants in the
experimental group were taught through worked
examples and practice and feedback, whereas those in
the control group read excerpts from a textbook which
covered the same content.
BackgroundBackground
Research suggests that worked examples reduce the
cognitive load placed on learners, which allows them to
learn new information more efficiently and effectively.
This phenomenon is referred to as the worked-example
effect and is best explained by cognitive load theory. The
theory suggests that exploration of complex settings
generates heavy working memory load, which is
detrimental to the learning process, especially for novice
learners (Kirschner, Sweller, and Clark, 2006). Worked
examples practice on the other hand, causes a much
smaller cognitive load, thereby allowing novice learners
to learn more information. The current study examined
the effect of worked examples on transfer of statistical
reasoning, as compared to traditional study techniques.

Participants, Setting, and MaterialsParticipants, Setting, and Materials
Eighteen undergraduate students taking Introduction to
Psychology at CUNY Queens College participated in this
study. The study was conducted in a computer lab with 3
cubicles, each containing a Windows-compatible
computer used to complete the teaching portion of the
study. Participants of both groups also completed paper
and pencil pre and posttest assessments. The
assessments were typed and contained eight abstracts,
each of which was followed by three multiple choice
questions. Each question had two choices from which
the participant was to select one.
General DiscussionGeneral Discussion
Overall, completion of the computer program with worked
examples and practice and feedback caused a larger
increase in scores from pretest to posttest than
completion of the computer program with scanned
textbook pages. The present study builds on the
available research on cognitive load theory by
introducing an additional area in which worked examples
can be used.
It also demonstrates that worked examples can be used
for more than teaching problem-solving skills; they can
also be used to teach decision making processes, such
as those necessary for interpreting and understanding
the significance of scientific studies.

Control GroupControl Group
Participants assigned to this group read information
about hypothesis testing from a popular statistics book.
Experimental GroupExperimental Group
Participants assigned to this group completed a
computerized tutorial containing worked examples.
These consisted of a definition, an abstract with the
appropriate portion underlined (i.e. dependent variable,
alternative hypothesis, p-value, etc.), and a sentence
explaining the underlined portion. To promote transfer,
information in the abstracts was found in different
locations. Additionally, for some abstracts separate
words or phrases were underlined, while for others entire
sentences were underlined.

  • 1. ResultsResults Participants did not differ on pretest scores (p > .05). The average posttest score was 84.71% (SD= 13.98) for the experimental group and 61.11% (SD= 16.54) for the control group, which was statistically significant, t(16)=3.27, p =.005. Figure 1 displays posttest scores. On average, experimental participants’ increased scores by 30.09 percentage points, while control participants increased by 7.87 percentage points (p=.017). General ProcedureGeneral Procedure Each participant completed a pretest, a computerized teaching portion, and a posttest. The participants in the experimental group were taught through worked examples and practice and feedback, whereas those in the control group read excerpts from a textbook which covered the same content. BackgroundBackground Research suggests that worked examples reduce the cognitive load placed on learners, which allows them to learn new information more efficiently and effectively. This phenomenon is referred to as the worked-example effect and is best explained by cognitive load theory. The theory suggests that exploration of complex settings generates heavy working memory load, which is detrimental to the learning process, especially for novice learners (Kirschner, Sweller, and Clark, 2006). Worked examples practice on the other hand, causes a much smaller cognitive load, thereby allowing novice learners to learn more information. The current study examined the effect of worked examples on transfer of statistical reasoning, as compared to traditional study techniques. Marianna Lamnina and Daniel M.

The study was conducted in a computer lab with 3 cubicles, each containing a Windows-compatible computer used to complete the teaching portion of the study. Participants of both groups also completed paper and pencil pre and posttest assessments. The assessments were typed and contained eight abstracts, each of which was followed by three multiple choice questions. Each question had two choices from which the participant was to select one. General DiscussionGeneral Discussion Overall, completion of the computer program with worked examples and practice and feedback caused a larger increase in scores from pretest to posttest than completion of the computer program with scanned textbook pages. The present study builds on the available research on cognitive load theory by introducing an additional area in which worked examples can be used. It also demonstrates that worked examples can be used for more than teaching problem-solving skills; they can also be used to teach decision making processes, such as those necessary for interpreting and understanding the significance of scientific studies. Worked ExampleWorked Example Practice and FeedbackPractice and Feedback Control GroupControl Group Participants assigned to this group read information about hypothesis testing from a popular statistics book. Experimental GroupExperimental Group Participants assigned to this group completed a computerized tutorial containing worked examples. These consisted of a definition, an abstract with the appropriate portion underlined (i.e. dependent variable, alternative hypothesis, p-value, etc.), and a sentence explaining the underlined portion. To promote transfer, information in the abstracts was found in different locations. Additionally, for some abstracts separate words or phrases were underlined, while for others entire sentences were underlined.
