The Effects of Repetition and Presentation Type on the Coding of German Words in Semantic Memory
Öz
The purpose of this study was to examine whether or not the effect of rewriting concepts in foreign language, which aimed to enhance working and semantic memory, would improve learning. In cognitive psychology, repetition has been suggested to improve memory traces in long- term memory. However, whether this is valid or not in foreign language is still unknown. In addition, the effect of presenting newly learned concepts in visual and written form was examined in this research. Visual presentation and repetition were expected to alleviate the burden of the working memory and at the same time increase the formation of new concepts or schemas in semantic memory. In this study, participants who did not speak any German previously were presented with German written or written and pictorial stimuli at 3 second intervals. After this presentation, half of the participants wrote as much as they could remember about the stimuli presented. Such an exercise was not provided to the participants in the control condition. The findings of this experiment showed that in terms of recall for German words, the participants in the picture-word/written condition outperformed those in the written condition. In addition, recall performance of the participants in exercising condition was about 40% higher than those who do not write it. These findings are discussed in terms of activation in working memory and semantic memory.
