Abstract
63 college students formed three groups. For mnemonic aids, they were instructed either to create stories to link lists of words or were given stories which were created by others. Compared to controls, there were no differences for immediate recall. Delayed recall showed that both using a story and generating it oneself produced superior performance.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
