Training Students to Use Elaboration Learning Strategies.
Weinstein, Claire E.
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v7 n4 p301-11 Oct 1982
The effects of a diversified imaginal and verbal elaboration strategy training program upon the learning and retention (efficiency) of ninth-grade students was investigated. The results, using free recall, modified serial recall, paired-associate learning, and reading comprehension tests, indicate that students can be trained to use elaboration to enhance learning.
