Outline and Hierarchical Organization as Aids for Study and Retrieval
Glynn, Shawn M.; Di Vesta, Francis J.
Journal of Educational Psychology, 69, 2, 89-95, Apr 77

The recall of specific facts was superior to that of general facts, implying an experimental demand to be precise in learning and recalling specific factual material. (Author/MV)
