Effect of note taking and review on recall.

Abstract: Male and female college students were randomly assigned to five treatment groups combining different note taking and review combinations. Recall was measured immediately and three weeks later. The results showed that a combination of taking notes and reviewing one's own notes produced the most recall, while not taking notes and reviewing the lecture "mentally" produced the least recall. Females recalled significantly more data than males, but opinions concerning note taking and efficiency of notes were not rel… Show more

“…We do however want to mention that the effect of lecturer's notes on memory performance has been investigated in several studies (e.g. Fisher & Harris, 1973;Katayama & Robinson, 2000;Kiewra, 1985;Peper & Mayer, 1978, study 1). Results suggest that lecturer's notes provide a benefit for memory when compared to no note-taking.…”

“…Ash and Carlton (1953) reported Significantly lower recall scores for note takers than for non-note takers during a ftlmpresentation. If there is an advantage in note taking, it is that the learners, in the process of taking the notes, "encode" the information by reorganizing the input data and putting it in their own words (Fisher & Harris, 1973), and the sensory motor process of recording the information also serves as an opportunity for rehearsal (Aiken, Thomas, & Shennum, 1975) .…”

It has been known for quite some time that when no activity at all is demanded from a subject during a retention interval, very little forgetting occurs (Brown, 1958).…”

“…This finding reinforces the need for students to attend engineering classes on a regular basis and encourages student note-taking. This is in agreement with literature showing that students who take notes in class do better on tests than those who only listen [24][25][26] .…”
