Scientific Mnemonomies: Methods for Maximizing More than Memory.

Levin, Mary E.; Levin, Joel R.

American Educational Research Journal, v27 n2 p301-21 Sum 1990

College undergraduates (N=136) studied a hierarchical plant classification system using a figural taxonomy or a pictorial mnemonomy. Mnemonomy students outperformed taxonomy students on (1) immediate and five-day delayed measures of classification system construction and use; and (2) a test that required solving analogies involving plant terms.
