Note-Taking and Passage Style.
Bretzing, Burke H.; Kulhavy, Raymond W.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v73 n2 p242-50 Apr 1981
High-Formality and low-formality versions of a passage were read by undergraduate education students who either took notes for a presentation to professionals or to students, or simply read the text. Results of a free-recall test support the encoding function of note taking and its relation to informal prose. (Author/AEF)
