Abstract: | These researchers explored ways of adapting instruction to individual students. In one experiment, as an incentive for focusing
on more difficult learning tasks, they assigned more points to tasks predicted to be difficult for the student. In a second
experiment, they varied both incentives and number of examples offered to demonstrate the tasks, again on the basis of pretest
scores. Included is a discussion of how the findings-that both techniques are beneficial—can be applied in classroom instruction.
