Mnemotechnics in Second Language Learning

Atkinson, Richard C.

American Psychologist, 30, 8, 821-828, Aug 75

Discusses the keyword method, which divided vocabulary learning into two stages: (1) the subject associates the spoken foreign word with the keyword, and association that is formed quickly because of the acoustic similarity between the words, and, (2) the subject forms a mental image of the keyword "interacting" with the English translation.
