{ "pk": 32665, "title": "Changes in Self-Explanation while Learning Vector Arithmetic", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Verbal elaboration of a worked example has been shown to be helpful to learners before attempting to solve similar problems. This has been termed as the self-explanation effect. (Chi, Bassok, Lewis, Reimann & Glaser, 1989). This study examined how self-explanation changes before and after sequential problem solving rounds. We found that changes in self-explanation within an individual may affect individual performance across a series of problem solving episodes. Also, some participants appear to use the worked-out example\nas a self-generated feedback (SGF) mechanism to help with their problem solving rounds, while other participants do not. Locations or points in a worked-out example where self-explanation (elaboration) is most likely to occur for students with higher performance scores versus those with lower performance scores, is discussed. The implications of these differences for the design of a computational cognitive model are also addressed.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Long Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0qw9d13z", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Troy", "middle_name": "D.", "last_name": "Kelley", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Human Factors & Applied Cognition Program, George Mason University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Irvin", "middle_name": "R.", "last_name": "Katz", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Human Factors & Applied Cognition Program, George Mason University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "1999-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/32665/galley/23728/download/" } ] }
