Pegword Mnemonic as an Aid to Memory in the Elderly: A Comparison of Four Age Groups.
Wood, Larry E.; Pratt, James D.
Educational Gerontology, v13 n4 p325-39 1987
Tested the pegword system as an aid to memory in four age categories (18-30, 31-45, 46-59, and 60-90) using familiar sayings as stimuli. Results showed improved recall equally in all groups, although age had a pronounced effect on absolute recall level. No group reported significant spontaneous use of visual imagery. (Author/ABL)
