Peer reviewedSears, Nedra C.; Johnson, Dale M. – Journal of Educational Research, 1986
Visual imagery as a factor relating to spelling performance and retention was compared with auditory and kinesthetic factors among children in grades 4, 5, and 6. Results revealed that visual imagery was superior to auditory for both spelling and retention. (Author/MT)

Peer reviewedAlesandrini, Kathryn Lutz; And Others – Journal of Educational Research, 1984
To manipulate analytic and holistic thinking and their effects in learning, a study used visual and verbal processing modes combined with analytic and holistic learning strategies. Results showed that analytic information processing habits in college students may facilitate learning. (Author/JMK)

Peer reviewedHillerich, Robert L. – Journal of Educational Research, 1984
A study of elementary school students investigated the effects of immediate feedback during a spelling pretest compared to the usual delayed feedback after dictation of an entire word list. Results indicated a small degree of difference between methods. (Author/DF)

Peer reviewedKunen, Seth; Duncan, Edward M. – Journal of Educational Research, 1983
The value of verbal labeling is shown by a study of fourth-grade, eighth-grade, and college students who were shown pictures accompanied by short verbal descriptions. Verbal descriptions increased correct recognitions and rejections of unrelated distractors, while increasing false recognition of related distractors. Results were consistent for all…
