A Comparison of Different Prose-Learning Variations of the Mnemonic Keyword Method.
McCormick, Christine B.; Levin, Joel R.
American Educational Research Journal, v21 n2 p379-98 Sum 1984
Seventh- and eighth-grade students were presented fictitious biographies to remember. Keyword students used a prose-learning adaptation of the mnemonic keyword method. It resulted in higher levels of recall than did control instructions. In a subsequent experiment, the basic findings were replicated on immediate and delayed recognition tests. (Author/BW)
