Long-Term Retention of Vocabulary After Keyword and Context Learning.
McDaniel, Mark, A.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v79 n1 p87-89 Mar 1987
Long-term retention of new vocabulary meanings acquired through keyword or semantic-context methods was assessed in two experiments. College students learned 30 English vocabulary-meaning pairs. They were tested on cued-recall performance one week later. Although the keyword method facilitated initial learning of the vocabulary meanings, it did not affect retention. (JAZ)
