Using Pictographs To Enhance Recall of Spoken Medical Instructions.

Tests the hypothesis that pictographs can improve recall of spoken medical instructions. Junior college subjects (N=21) listened to two lists of actions, one of which was accompanied by pictographs during both listening and recall while the other was not. Mean correct recall was 85% with pictographs and 14% without, indicating that pictographs can enhance memory of spoken medical instructions. (Author/GCP)
