Haring, Marilyn J.; Fry, Maurine A. – Educational Communication and Technology: A Journal of Theory, Research, and Development, 1979
Experimenters analyzed a prose passage into 350 idea units, then interspersed throughout the text pictures depicting main ideas, or both main ideas and nonessential details. For fourth- and sixth-grade subjects, pictures did facilitate both immediate and delayed recall, but only of main ideas. (Author/JEG)
