Solvberg, Astrid Margrethe; Valas, Harald – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 1995
Norwegian 6th graders (n=107) either were taught a mnemonic imagery to apply to passages they read or were given no strategy. Mnemonic-imagery students remembered more information. Individual differences in short-term memory and verbal and visual competence did not predict performance in the imagery condition. (SLD)
