Alternative Research Paradigms in the Analysis of Mnemonics.
Pressley, Michael; Mullally, Janet
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v9 n1 p48-60 Jan 1984

Experiments on the cueword method illustrated how highly analytical experiments on mnemonics might be conducted and how choice of comparisons in research could affect mnemonic evaluation.
