For Participants
Learning Strategies: Photo-Taking and Note-Taking
Explanation
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of common learning strategies, such as note-taking and photo-taking, on memory performance. During the experiment, some lecture slides will be presented to the participants. In the meantime, they will be asked to take notes, take photos of the slides, and/or just evaluate the slides. Besides, participants may be asked to rate their likelihood of remembering each slide. Afterward, they will complete a memory test about the lecture slides.
