Scruggs, Thomas E.; And Others
American Educational Research Journal, v22 n4 p575-86 Win 1985
Four different methods of study were presented to fifty-six learning disabled students, who were to learn characteristics of North American minerals. Methods were: (1) direct instruction; (2) mnemonic instruction; (3) reduced-list direct-instruction; and (4) free-study. Results supported findings that learning was superior in the mnemonic instruction condition. (Author/LMO)
