美国心理学家荷蒲兰德博士曾做过这样的实验:他把十二个单词排成一行,让别人来记忆,看哪个词最易忘记。实验结果表明,几乎没有人会记错第一个词和第二个词。第二个词以后,错误渐多。第七、八个词错误率最高。往后,错误逐渐减少。第十二个词的情形就和第二个词一样,错误极少。他把这整个错误起伏的情形称为“记忆的排列位置功效”。实验证明,排在前面的和结尾的记忆效果好。因此,在教学过程中,我们应充分利用头尾记忆法的这一特点,在有限的教学时间里取得最佳教学效果。 An American psychologist, Dr. Holland Land, had done this experiment: He lined up twelve words and let others remember to see which words were most forgotten. Experimental results show that almost no one will remember the first word and the second word. After the second word, there are more mistakes. The seventh and eighth words have the highest error rate. Later, the error gradually decreased. The twelfth word is just like the second word, and there are few mistakes. He referred to this entire erroneous ups and downs as the “memory arrangement effect.” Experiments have shown that the memory effect at the front and at the end is good. Therefore, in the teaching process, we should make full use of this feature of the head-to-tail memory method to obtain the best teaching effect in a limited teaching time.
