Abstract
The effect of imagery based strategy training on retention in children of 9–10 years age (n = 60) was investigated. The imagery instructed group evinced greater recall than the control group on measures of accuracy
and speed of recall. Also the recall performance of girls was better during training and maintenance sessions. The speed of
recall was significantly faster in the imagery instructed group as compared to control group. As found in the follow up the
strategy instructed group continued to use the strategy in the absence of explicit instructions to do so. The findings demonstrate
the feasibility of the use of effective mnemonic strategies.
