Abstract
The performance of four groups having different study strategies on a multiple-choice prose comprehension test composed of 40 each factual and inferential test items was investigated. 120 undergraduates enrolled in introductory psychology were subjects. No significant difference in the over-all performance on the factual and inferential test items was noted but there were significant differences among groups on inferential test items. The ‘Yoked’ and the ‘Control’ groups performed better than those with self-generated questions and experimenter-adjunct questions.Keywords
