AI Article Synopsis
- Ellis and Beaton (1993a) found that the keyword method improves memory of foreign vocabulary for receptive learning, but rote repetition is better for productive learning.
- The first two experiments in this report demonstrated that with good quality keyword images, both receptive and productive learning benefited more from the keyword method than from rote repetition.
- In a third experiment, however, the original finding was contradicted, showing that for productive learning, the keyword method can outperform rote repetition; thus, the effectiveness of the keyword method can depend heavily on the quality of the images used.
Article Abstract
Ellis and Beaton (1993a) reported that the keyword method of learning enhanced memory of foreign vocabulary items when receptive learning was measured. However, for productive learning, rote repetition was superior to the keyword method. The first two experiments reported here show that, in comparison with rote repetition, both receptive and productive learning can be enhanced by the keyword method, provided that the quality of the keyword images is adequate. In a third experiment using a subset of words from Ellis and Beaton (1993a), the finding they reported, that for productive learning rote repetition was superior to the keyword method, was reversed. The quality of keyword images will vary from study to study and any generalisation regarding the efficacy of the keyword method must take this into account.

Department of Dermatology, Peking University Shenzhen Hospital, Shenzhen, China.
Background: Melasma, a common skin pigmentation disease, can negatively impact patients' mental health, social interactions, and physical appearance. Although we now have several treatments accessible, such as medicines, chemical peels, and phototherapy, which can help ease symptoms to some extent, the requirement for a long-term effective and safe treatment for patients is far from met. In the face of this problem, microneedling, as an innovative treatment, provides a new avenue for treating melasma.
