The delineation and application of three mnemonic techniques
Tóm tắt
In an experiment to determine what mnemonic techniques Ss would employ in learning a list of 19 unrelated nouns, Ss used the first-letter (FL), clustering (C), and descriptive-story (DS) techniques. In a second experiment three groups applied the mnemonic techniques, and recall was compared to a no-mnemonic condition. No significant differences were found at the immediate-recall test; however, 1 week later the DS and C techniques produced significantly higher levels of recall, while 8 weeks later only the DS technique produced a significantly higher level of recall.
