关键字母法对英文词汇记忆效能的制约因素初步研究

A Preliminary Research into the Impeding Factors of the Key-letter Method for the Efficacy of the Memory of English Vocabulary

通过干预范式和中介刺激法,选择89名初中一年级学生为被试,采用一系列自编的材料和工具,初步探讨了关键字母法对英文词汇记忆效能的制约因素。结果表明:(1)无论从短期看,还是从长期看,难以识别关键字母,会在一定程度上制约关键字母法的效能,不过,该因素的制约作用并不显著;(2)无论从短期看,还是从长期看,无论为准确的回忆,还是为大致的回忆,难以提取关键字母释义是制约关键字母法的显著因素。中介刺激法,作为本研究的突出特征,试图继承和发展维果茨基所创立的双重刺激法。

By means of the interventional paradigm and the method of medium stimulation, eighty-nine seventh grade students were selected as participants. A series of self-constructed materials and instruments were employed to examin the impeding factors of the key-letter method on the efficacy of the memorizing English vocabulary. The results indicated： （1） whether in the long run or in the short run, the efficacy of the key-letter method in memorizing English vocabulary was slightly impeded by the difficulty in recognizing the key-letters; however, the efficacy was not impeded significantly; （2） in the long run or in the short run whether designed for exact or inexact recollections, the efficacy of the key-letter method in memoring English vocabulary was impeded significantly by the difficulty in retrieving the Chinese translation of the key-letters. The method of medium stimulation, as a prominent feature of the current study, was intended to inherit and develop the method of double stimulation founded by Lev Semyonovich Vygotsky.
