AnnotationPreadjunct questions are questions presented at the beginning of the to-be-learned material to guide what is learned and to increase the likelihood that learners will correctly answer criterion test question. In this study, a group of adults aged 55 to 70 viewed a video; some were given preadjunct questions, and some were not. Results obtained demonstrated that there was no significance between the two test conditions, suggesting that preadjunct questions do not help older adults when learning from a video.
