Effects of Learning Method and Word Type on Acquiring Vocabulary in an Unfamiliar Language.
Lotto, Lorella; de Groot, M. B.
Language Learning, v48 n1 p31-69 Mar 1998
Examined the roles of learning method, word frequency, and cognate status in the learning of 80 Italian words by 56 adult Dutch learners previously unfamiliar with Italian. Two learning methods were contrasted: word learning, where the Italian word was presented with its translation in Dutch, and picture learning, where it was presented with a picture depicting a referent.
