Peer reviewedLambiotte, Judith G.; Dansereau, Donald F. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1992
Effects of knowledge maps, outlines, or lists of key terms on recall by 74 undergraduates (29 males and 45 females) of 2 biology lectures were compared. The hypothesized advantage of maps over outlines or lists was not found generally, but it was found for students low in prior knowledge. (SLD)
