Indeed -- very useful. 

A recent paper in my discipline (economics) came to a similar finding:
"The Cost of Economic Literacy: How Well Does a Literacy-targeted
Principles of Economics Course Prepare Students for Intermediate Theory
Courses?" http://www.unc.edu/~salemi/Papers/Gilleskie_Salemi_10_7_11.pdf .

I understand that these results pretty much jive with the findings of
cognitive scientists -- that our students would be better off if we
focused on a few key concepts instead of rushing through many.
