Mnemonic Verbalizations And Formal Rules In Problem-Solving

The book is about the form in which rules are best presented to learners for effective retention and transfer to novel situations of problem solving in a mathematical context. In a study conducted for the purpose, mnemonic verbalizations (rules presented in a "shorthand" memory-facilitating form), as opposed to formal statements of rules were used with young learners for the retention and transfer of rules. The study concluded that the facilitative forms in which rules were presented to learners mattered but left open the specific factors at work that made one facilitative form more effective than the other.
