Abstract
The Ss wrote descriptions of bizarre images constructed to link pairs of nouns. These descriptions were assigned ratings for conformity to mnemonic instructions. In a recall test 15 weeks later performance was found to be related to the previously assigned ratings. There was some suggestion in the data that difference in interitem association among the word pairs affected the ability of the Ss to conform to the instructions. The Ss were not warned when the images were constructed that they would be expected to recall the material.

Perceptual and Motor SkillsEffects of a Mnemonic Technique Applied to Verbal Learning and Memory

Furst's mnemonic technique has limited usefulness during the acquisition of a serial verbal list, and perhaps a significant facilitating effect on retention, provided the material to be recalled is of medium or low meaningfulness, but no efficacy for remembering highly meaningful materials learned under the present conditions.
