Randomized trial examines verbal problem solving in EMH children, suggesting strategies for educational practice.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of numerical presentation, set language, and distractor position on the problem solving abilities of 24 EMH children. Results suggested that the use of supraordinate set language and the presence of distractors in the subject position of the extraneous information sentence leads to less efficient verbal problem solving. The results were attributed, in part, to the existence of rote computational habits. Implications for educational interventions are suggested.
