We expected deep processing students to benefit from metacognitive support and surface processing students to learn from cognitive support
Experiment 2 showed that students who combined self-regulation with deep processing and students who combined external regulation with surface processing outperformed students with complimentary combinations of regulation style and processing style
It is argued that selection skills may underlie both regulation and processing styles for studying expository texts
