Abstract
Investigated possible interference effects that may occur following the learning of 3 lists of pairs of items using the same loci. 105 university students were assigned to either a loci or a control group. Results show that loci mnemonics improved performance on free-recall tasks, both during learning and on a final task, but performance was affected by retroactive interference. The recall of concrete-abstract pairs was higher than that of abstract-concrete pairs for the controls but not for the Ss using loci mnemonics.File in questo prodotto:
