Scruggs, Thomas E.; Mastropieri, Margo A.
Journal of Special Education, v22 n2 p153-66 Sum 1988
Gifted and nongifted students (n=96) in grades five-six were assigned to a free-study or one of three mnemonic conditions for learning mineral hardness levels. Both ability groups learned more in mnemonic conditions, and gifted students demonstrated an ability superior to nongifted students in employing mnemonic strategies independently in additional learning tasks.
