The Effect of Verbal Contextual Information in Processing Visual Art.
Koroscik, Judith S.; And Others
Studies in Art Education, v27 n1 p12-23 Fall 1985
Verbal contextual information affected photography and nonphotography students' performance on semantic retention tests. For example, correct titles aided the formation and retention of accurate memories, while erroneous titles misled students into remembering meanings that had relatively little to do with what was actually pictured in the artworks.
