Effects of Repeated Readings on Bilingual and Monolingual Memory for Text.
Durgunoglu, Aydin Y.; And Others
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v18 n3 p294-317 Jul 1993

Manipulating intervals between readings, language, and the activity between the readings indicates that all these variables influence whether a repeated reading enhanced memory. (SLD)
