Do feedback diagrams promote learning in macroeconomics?

This article describes the value added by a stock-and-flow feedback diagram to text-only instruction in macroeconomics. The experiment was motivated by a prior study in which the use of graphs to teach macroeconomics was no more effective than verbal instruction alone. Here, in contrast, students using the feedback diagram showed more improvement in post-test scores than those who received only narrative instruction.
