Findings were that imagery instructions for picture pairs were generally more facilitative than imagery instructions for word pairs, with children at this age exhibiting little variability in their capacity to utilize a visual imagery strategy when pictures comprised the learning materials.

The role of motor activity in children's formation of dynamic mental imagery was investigated in 2 experiments using a paired-associate recognition task. (Authors)

Study investigated performance under the conditions of: presentation of noninteracting picture pairs, presentation of interacting picture pairs, and presentation of noninteracting picture pairs with instructions to create interacting images. (Authros/CB)

The generation of dynamic mental imagery is known to facilitate paired associate (PA) learning in older subjects. Wolff and Levin (in press) have reported that children who were apparently too young to generate mental imagery of this kind did benefit from self-generated motoric interactions involving pairs of toys. Since the result was obtained…

This study is an attempt to investigate the usefulness of imagery instructions in learning PA nouns embedded in sentences and conjunction phrases with three different age groups (third grade, sixth grade and college students). In addition, six different item types are employed to convey increasingly dissimilar contexts from study to test trials.…
