The Mnemonic Keyword Method.
Pressley, Michael; And Others
Review of Educational Research, v52 n1 p61-91 Spr 1982

The review examines subjects' memory for definitions, given vocabulary words; subjects' learning of other aspects of vocabulary, given definitions; group-administered keyword studies; and extensions of the method to other tasks.
