Field Test of Guidelines for the Development of Memory Aids in Technical Training.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine if Navy authors of instructional material could create effective memory aids for use in rote learning of material. A guidebook published by the Training Analysis and Evaluation Group was used in creating the memory aids. Navy school personnel used the guidebook to develop two training booklets incorporating memory aids. One booklet taught telephone codes for sound powered phones to sailors in Apprentice Training School. The other booklet taught sailors how to recognize and respond to 10 common navigation buoys. The booklets were evaluated in a classroom setting. (Author)
