Retention as a function of natural language mediation and of time
Tóm tắt
Subjects learned 20 CVC pairs and reported the method used in learning (rote or natural language mediator, NLM). After 1, 3, or 9 days, recall was tested and method of learning was reported. Recall was virtually unchanged over 9 days for those pairs for which the NLM reported at recall was the same as at acquisition. Retention was low for pairs learned by rote or with a NLM that was forgotten at recall, and decreased as the retention interval increased.
