Effects of the Keyword Mnemonic Strategy on Vocabulary Acquisition and Maintenance by Learning Disabled Children.
Condus, Maria M.; And Others
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v19 n10 p609-13 Dec 1986
The efficacy of a keyword mnemonic strategy to teach word meanings was evaluated with 64, 12-year-old learning disabled poor readers. Subjects were instructed via either keyword-image, picture context, sentence-experience context, or control. Results indicated that the students in the keyword condition significantly outperformed other students both initially and 10 weeks after treatment. (DB)
