The Keyword Method and Children's Vocabulary Learning: An Interaction with Vocabulary Knowledge.

McGivern, Julia E.; Levin, Joel R.

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v8 n1 p46-54 Jan 1983

Fifth-grade students with high or low vocabulary knowledge were taught new words according to the mnemonic keyword method. Three instructional conditions varied by the degree of structure provided by the experimenter. All variations facilitated learning. In aptitude x treatment interaction, structure made far less difference for high-knowledge students. (Author/CM)
