Educational Communication and Technology: A Journal of Theory, Research, and Development, v30 n3 p175-83 Fall 1982

In two studies, sixth graders (Study 1) and fourth graders (Study 2) listened to or read a text. Some students were asked to imagine pictures of the material. Oral presentation of the material produced better results than written-only forms. Fourth graders benefited more from mental imagery than did sixth graders. (Author/JJD)
