Note Taking as a Generative Activity.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Peper, Richard J.; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1978
Three experiments investigated the effects of note taking on "what is learned" by college undergraduates from videotaped lectures. The results suggest that note taking can result in a broader learning outcome, rather than just more learning overall, because an assimilative encoding process is encouraged. (Author/GDC)
