Learning-Disabled Students' Memory for Expository Prose: Mnemonic Versus Nonmnemonic Pictures.
Mastropieri, Margo A.; And Others
American Educational Research Journal, v24 n4 p505-19 Win 1987
Mnemonic and non-mnemonic pictures were used as teaching aids with 67 learning-disabled students in grades seven, eight, and nine in reading expository passages about the extinction of dinosaurs. Both types of pictures aided students' free recall, while only mnemonic pictures facilitated recall of the plausibility order of the passages. (TJH)
