Effects of Spaced Repetition on Long-Term Map Knowledge Recall
Zirkle, David M.; Ellis, Arthur K.
Journal of Geography, v109 n5 p201-206 2010
Sixth-grade students studying Latin America were placed in experimental and comparison groups to test the effects of map-study repetition on long-term memory. Mean scores on place-name repetition indicated that the experimental (repetition) group out-performed the comparison group at a statistically significant level with respect to both posttest and retention-test outcomes. (Contains 2 tables and 2 figures.)
