Not illustrated. 1917 Excerpt: ... this is true practically without exception for all of the individual cases. The difference, in the average results, between Methods Two and Three is small and being no larger than the P. E. is unreliable. The general result of this test upon adults is the same as that obtained from the older children with the same sort of material. The value of recitation as compared to reading is not so great as it is when nonsense material is used, and no particular advantage is obtained by introducing the recitation very early in the learning. GENERAL SUMMARY Nonsense Material 1. In general, recitation, after a few initial readings, is of much more value in learning than more reading. a. Under the conditions of the present experiment a method devoting the first twenty per cent. of the time to reading followed by eighty per cent. recitation will result in learning for immediate reproduction twice as much material as will a method of reading only. b. As measured by recall three to four hours later, the difference between the two methods is about twice as great; four times as much being recalled under the recitation method as under the reading method. 2. After a certain amount of initial reading (one minute and forty-eight seconds or twenty per cent. of the total time in this experiment) the more quickly the recitation is introduced the better the results as measured by either immediate or delayed recall. 3. No conspicuous differences appear between the results for adult subjects and children or between the various grades with the exception that the findings for the first grade differ from all others. Sense Material 1. In general the best results are obtained from a method devoting about forty per cent. of the time to reading followed by an equal amount of recitation. 2. I...
