Abstract

Noun-pair learning in twelfth-graders from similar socioeconomic backgrounds was assessed as a function of ethnicity (Mexican- vs. Anglo-American), IQ (low vs. average), and instructional conditions (control vs. instructed). Neither the main effect for ethnicity nor any of its interactions was significant. The main effect for IQ however, was significant such that average IQ learners recalled more noun pairs than low IQ learners. Furthermore, learners instructed to generate sentences performed significantly better than learners in the control condition. The interaction of lQ and instructions revealed that the difference between the instructed and control groups was signifinantly greater for low IQ learners than for average IQ learners.
