Dunlosky and colleagues (2013) evaluated the overall usefulness of popular study techniques: highlighting, rereading, summarizing, and visual imagery mnemonics. Which utility assessment rating did these techniques receive?

Low utility assessment

Explanation: Techniques: highlighting, rereading, summarizing, and visual imagery mnemonics received a low utility assessment for numerous reasons.

Summarization and imagery use for

text learning have been shown to help some students on some criterion tasks, yet the conditions under which these techniques

produce benefits are limited, and much research is still needed to fully explore their overall effectiveness.

The keyword mnemonic

is difficult to implement in some contexts, and it appears to benefit students for a limited number of materials and for short retention intervals.

Most students report rereading and highlighting, yet these techniques do not consistently boost students’

performance, so other techniques should be used in their place (e.g, practice testing instead of rereading).
