Transfer of a Mnemonic Keyword Strategy at Two Age Levels.
Pressley, Michael; Dennis-Rounds, Janice
Journal of Educational Psychology, v72 n4 p575-82 Aug 1980
Twelve- and 18-year-olds learned a list of paired associates; experimental subjects were instructed in mnemonics, while controls simply learned the pairings. When subjects were presented a list of Latin nouns and their translations to learn, spontaneous transfer of the mnemonic strategy occurred only among 18-year-olds. (Author/GDC)
