Abstract
Color photographs and simple line drawings were compared with corresponding concrete nouns as stimulus items in paired-associate learning. Greater recall was found with pictorial stimuli, but a predicted difference between photographs and drawings was not significant. The two types of pictorial stimuli did differ, however, in proportion of intralist intrusion errors and in reported use of mediation. Both surpassed word stimuli whether rote learning or a mnemonic strategy was reported. These results do not support theories that attribute picture superiority to incidental cues or to implicit mediational strategies.
