Individual Differences in Notetaking, Summarization, and Learning from Lectures.

Hadwin, Allyson Fiona; Kirby, John R.; Woodhouse, Rosamund A.

Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v45 n1 p1-17 Spr 1999

A study of 82 Canadian college freshmen investigated working memory, verbal ability, and prior knowledge as predictors of quality of students' lecture notes, lecture summaries, and content recall. Students with higher working memory benefitted more from listening to the lecture than from listening and taking notes. Quality of summaries predicted recall better than did student differences. Contains 31 references. (Author/TD)
