Larsen, Janet D. – Teaching of Psychology, 1991
Describes a demonstration to illustrate the importance of knowing what is supposed to be learned before studying begins. Suggests that the exercise may be used to show the basic elements of a scientific experiment. Explains that attention's effect upon memory is shown by students' tendency to remember best what they are told to remember. (DK)

Horwitz, Stephen – 1975
This study was conducted in order to compare the effects of immediate practice and delayed practice on retention of learned rules. Seventh-grade students (N=103) were instructed on three rules of operation with exponents by programmed text. These subjects were randomly assigned to five treatment groups: (1) no practice, (2) one practice trial on…

Willebrand, Julia – 1978
The major approaches to language teaching (audiolingual method, generative grammar, Community Language Learning and Silent Way) are investigated to discover whether or not they are compatible in structure with an information-processing model of memory (IPM). The model of memory used was described by Roberta Klatzky in "Human Memory:…

Smith, Patricia L.; Friend, Marilyn – Learning Disabilities Research, 1986
The study examined the potential of training in a specific learning strategy (text structure recognition and use) to improve the recall of expository prose of 27 learning disabled high school students. Trained subjects demonstrated better immediate and delayed recall performance than control subjects trained in problem solving strategies.…

Waters, Harriet Salatas; Schreiber, Linda L. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1991
Examined sex differences in eighth and tenth graders' and college students' use of elaboration in paired associate learning. Findings indicate that, as males and females became more proficient strategy users, sex differences diminished under more favorable task conditions that encouraged strategy use but remained constant under less favorable…

Turner, G. – Educational Review, 1983
Seventy-nine first-year and 85 third-year students were tested on the meanings of French words from vocabulary lists. Twenty percent were then taught memory-improvement strategies, 20 percent were taught strategies and given guided practice, and 20 percent learned the lists without aids. The strategies significantly improved the performance of…

Fulk, Barbara J. Mushinski; And Others – Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, 1992
This study with 56 learning-disabled adolescents found that intensive generalization training specific to the development of complex mnemonic strategies was demonstrably more effective in recall at 1-day and 2-week intervals than a rehearsal condition. No added advantage was gained by adding attribution training to the mnemonic generalization…

Glaser, Robert – 1985
Information-processing students solving problems in the 1960s and 1970s accepted the tradition of early experimental psychology in concentrating primarily on the study of "knowledge-lean" tasks in which competence can usually be acquired over short periods of learning and experience. In recent years, experts have examined knowledge-rich…
