Description

The aim of the present study was to examine whether the recollection of photographs depicting everyday events could be facilitated by drawing pictures of the photographs. In two experiments,205 participants were presented with one photograph. Subsequently, participants in the experimental group drew pictures of the photograph, while participants in the control group wrote down sentences explaining the photograph. The results of following memory tests showed that performances of free recall and probed recall were better in the experimental group.
