    Providing story-based semantic strategies improved initial serial learning for EMR students but did not enhance long-term retention compared to controls. Further research should explore training these students to generate their own strategies.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Educational Psychology
    • Developmental Psychology

    Background:

    • Semantic strategies, such as story linking, can improve memory recall.
    • Previous research demonstrated benefits for free-recall in original learning and short-term retention.
    • The efficacy of semantic strategies for serial-recall in individuals with intellectual disabilities requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To replicate a previous study on semantic strategies using a serial-recall task.
    • To investigate the impact of story-based semantic strategies on serial learning and retention in EMR subjects.
    • To compare the performance of EMR subjects receiving semantic strategy training with a control group.

    Main Methods:

    • Replication of a prior study with a serial-recall modification.

  • Provision of a story-linking semantic strategy to experimental (EMR) subjects.
  • Comparison of learning and retention between experimental and control groups over multiple trials and an 8-month period.

    • Main Results:

    • EMR subjects using the story strategy showed improved performance in early learning trials.
    • No significant difference in retention after 8 months was observed between the strategy and control groups.
    • The semantic strategy facilitated initial acquisition but not long-term serial memory.

    Conclusions:

    • Story-based semantic strategies can aid initial serial learning for EMR students.
    • Long-term retention benefits of externally provided strategies may be limited.
    • Future research should focus on training EMR students to independently generate semantic strategies for serial learning.
