Abstract
The author examines the relationship between training methods and factors of cognitive ability in order to
determine whether a match between these variables will increase learning. Lecture‐based and
case‐study‐based training were conducted using a repeated‐measure design. Predictive validity
of verbal comprehension, verbal reasoning, and general reasoning abilities for learning from the two training
methods were examined by way of MANOVA and multiple regression. Results indicate that knowledge gained in
lecture‐based training was significantly related to verbal comprehension ability, and knowledge gained in
case‐study‐based training was significantly related to general reasoning ability. The article
discusses implications for designing training programs and for future research.
