Abstract

Multi-level factors affecting immediate and delayed concept recall in concept mapping were examined across 716 concepts nested within 57 concept maps from adult learners. At the concept level, we examined a concept’s serial positioning, autobiographical elaboration (AE), and elaborative encoding. At the map level, we examined the compositional effects of AE and elaborative encoding while controlling for the number of concepts in a map. For concepts, we found a curvilinear effect of serial positioning on immediate recall, and a linear effect of elaborative encoding on immediate and delayed recall. No AE effect was found. Concept level effects of elaborative encoding and AE did not accumulate at the map level. The number of concepts in a map, however, did affect the likelihood of immediate recall and, to a lesser extent, delayed recall. Limitations and implications for research and practice are discussed.

抽象的

在成年学习者的57个概念图中嵌套的716个概念中，研究了影响概念映射中立即和延迟概念召回的多级因素。在概念级别，我们检查了概念的序列定位，自传阐述（AE）和精细编码。在地图级别，我们控制了地图中概念的数量，同时检查了自动曝光和精细编码的合成效果。对于概念，我们发现串行定位对立即召回的曲线影响，以及精细编码对立即召回和延迟召回的线性影响。没有发现AE效应。详尽的编码和AE的概念级别效果未在地图级别上累积。但是，地图中概念的数量确实影响了立即召回的可能性，并在较小程度上影响了延迟召回的可能性。
