Elaboration-Based Learning Strategies: Powerful Theory = Powerful Application.

Levin, Joel R.

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v13 n3 p191-205 Jul 1988

Elaboration in learning involves meaning-enhancing additions, constructions, or generations that improve one's memory for what is being learned. Recent examples of applications of elaboration theory include efforts in the areas of meta-cognitive components of learning strategies, mnemonics, and text-processing strategies. (TJH)
