Putting the Keyword Method in Context.
McDaniel, Mark A.; Pressley, Michael
Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n4 p598-609 Aug 1984
The keyword method was compared to the context method of learning new vocabulary in two experiments with undergraduate subjects. In both experiments the keyword method produced significantly greater definition recall. Implications for vocabulary learning theories in particular, and discovery learning approaches in general, are discussed. (Author/BS)
