Strategies for Studying Text: A Comparison of Papua New Guinean and American Research Findings.
Moore, Dennis W.; O'Driscoll, Michael P.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v75 n3 p460-64 Jun 1983

Intentional study instructions and provision of extended study time, however, had minimal effect on recall performance. (Author/LC)
