Abstract
AbstractTwenty-nine reports yielding 112 studies were analyzed with Glass's meta-analysis technique, and results were compared with predictions from Ausubel's model of assimilative learning. Overall, advance organizers were shown to be associated with increased learning and retention of the material to be learned. Levels of some variables in the high-effect-size studies were not as predicted by Ausubel's model, however.

Forty-four published research studies involving advance organizers were reviewed and four specific predictions of assimilation theory were evaluated: that advance organizers should have a stronger effect for poorly organized text than for well organized text, thatvance organizers should has a stronger positive effect for learners lacking prerequisite knowledge, and that advance organizer should have an especially strong effect on measures of transfer rather than retention.
