Factors Influencing the Recall of Elements in Maps and Diagrams and the Strategies Used to Encode Them.
Winn, William D.; Sutherland, Sandra W.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v81 n1 p33-39 Mar 1989
The effects of varying the familiarity, representation, and number of elements in maps and diagrams were assessed, using 89 male and 89 female ninth through eleventh graders. Significant differences distinguished the low- versus high-ability students' responses. The expected effects of form and familiarity on recall performance were not found. (TJH)
