The Effects of Headings in Text on Recall, Search and Retrieval.
Hartley, J.; Trueman, M.
British Journal of Educational Psychology, v53 (pt2) p205-14 Jun 1983
The results of the nine experiments summarized indicate that (1) headings aid recall, search, and retrieval from both familiar and unfamiliar text; (2) position of heading (marginal, embedded) has no effect; and (3) low-ability subjects appear to do better when headings are questions on the recall task rather than statements.
