Effects of a Verbal Mediation Strategy on Cognitive Processes in Mathematics Learning.
Machida, Kenichi; Carlson, Jerry
Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n6 p1382-85 Dec 1984
The effects of verbal mnemonics on mathematics achievement were investigated using 100 Japanese seventh graders. All students received 10 weeks of mathematics instruction, but the experimental subjects were taught with the aid of verbal rhymes. Significant differences favoring experimental subjects were found on both the immediate and delayed posttest. (Author/BS)
