are learned by linking them together
within the context of a story

- Evaluations
- There is research evidence for verbal mnemonics, Gruneberg (1973) From a
survey given to psychology students revising for final exams it was
discovered that 30% used mnemonics and they were popular.
- A limitation is that most research has taken place in
laboratory conditions which are very artificial and the
tools used are very appropriate for mnemonic strategies
which are being tested.
- Studies in real classrooms show more uncertain results which are mixed. Mnemonics
have been found to effective when teaching forein languages but not in the actual
application of the vocab. (speech)

other

- Evaluation
- Research has shown the effectiveness of these
mnemonics, O'Hara found that training people in the use
of Loci had long term benefits for old adults.
- Atkinson (1975) found that Russian vocabulary was learned much more
by the group who received training in the use of the keyword method,
compared to the control group, but the long term advantage of this
method is less well supported.

- Method of Loci
- Broadly and MacDonald tested memory improvement strategies
in Down Syndrome children with memory deficits. Phase 1:
children were assessed in a group of tests. Phase 2: One group of
children received training in memory improvement techniques
and a control group who did not. Phase 3: the children were
reassessed and it was found that the experimental group had
significantly improved.
