Effect of Prompting on the Immediate Recall of Meaningful Material Practiced under Delayed Auditory Feedback
DAVID J. KING, Howard J. Walker · Perceptual and Motor Skills · 1965
80 Ss were divided into four groups. The two experimental groups read the stimulus story under conditions of DAF, and the two control groups were not so treated. One set of the control experimental groups was questioned regarding the content of the story immediately following the reading and before a recall was obtained (this was called the prompt procedure). The other groups recited the story immediately after reading it and were then prompted on those points not covered in their recall. There were significant differences between control and experimental groups on both indicants of accuracy of retention.
