隐喻对记忆的促进作用——一项实证研究

The Facilitating Role of Metaphor in Memory——An Experimental Study

为了探讨隐喻对记忆是否有促进作用，作者采用刺激回忆的实验方法，让四组被试接受四种不同的实验材料，用两个量度测量记忆效果：瞬时回忆测量短时记忆效果，延迟回忆测量长时记忆效果。实验数据分析表明隐喻对记忆有促进作用。隐喻对记忆的促进作用可以应用于创造性的课堂教学当中，从而提高学习者的学习效果。

To test whether metaphor has a facilitating role in memory, this experiment adopts the method of stimulated recall, using two measurements to test memory effects： immediate recall for short-term memory＇ effect and delayed recall for long-term memory effect. In immediate recall, the four groups of participants were respectively exposed to four types of materials. The results show that metaphor facilitates memory. The implication of this research lies in the application of the facilitating role of metaphor into real classroom teaching so as to enhance learners＇ learning efficiency.
