Educational Review, v33 n3 p215-22 Nov 1981

Using 40 university students, the author studied the effect of a summary on recall of a reading passage. Four conditions were compared: beginning summary on same page as main passage, beginning summary on separate page, end summary, and no summary. Subjects using end and separate page summaries demonstrated greater recall. (SJL)
