Rummel, Nikol; Levin, Joel R.; Woodward, Michelle M.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v95 n2 p327-34 Jun 2003
In 2 experiments, college students read a historical passage on aspects of human intelligence. Students were randomly assigned to 2 different instructional conditions to process the passage, mnemonic and free study. Mnemonic participants remembered more names and contributions than did free-study participants. Findings illustrate that mnemonic techniques are useful in improving students' memory for and application of central textual information. (Contains 33 references, 2 tables, and 1 figure.) (GCP)
