The Spatial-Arrangement Mnemonic.
Bellezza, Francis S.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v75 n6 p830-37 Dec 1983
A spatial-arrangement or word-arrangement mnemonic experiment was conducted in which college students studied six lists of 12 words each under conditions of word pattern and/or mnemonic instruction. Both the link mnemonic and distinctive word arrangements enhanced recall during acquisition, but only word-arrangement had a significant effect on retention. (Author/PN)
