Two experiments were used to assess the efficacy of the keyword mnemonic method in adults. In Experiment 1, immediate and delayed recall (at a one-day interval) were assessed by comparing the results obtained by a group of adults using the keyword mnemonic method in contrast to a group using the repetition method. The mean age of the sample under study was 59.35 years. Subjects were required to learn a list of 16 words translated from Latin into Spanish. Participants who used keyword mnemonics that had been devised by other experimental participants of the same characteristics, obtained significantly higher immediate and delayed recall scores than participants in the repetition method. In Experiment 2, other participants had to learn a list of 24 Latin words translated into Spanish by using the keyword mnemonic method reinforced with pictures. Immediate and delayed recall were significantly greater in the keyword mnemonic method group than in the repetition method group.
两项实验用于评估关键词记忆法在成年人中的效果。在实验1中，通过比较一组使用关键词记忆法的成年人与一组使用重复法的成年人所获得的结果，来评估即时回忆和延迟回忆（间隔一天）情况。所研究样本的平均年龄为59.35岁。受试者需要学习一份从拉丁语翻译成西班牙语的包含16个单词的列表。使用由具有相同特征的其他实验参与者设计的关键词记忆法的参与者，其即时回忆和延迟回忆得分显著高于使用重复法的参与者。在实验2中，其他参与者必须使用辅以图片的关键词记忆法来学习一份从拉丁语翻译成西班牙语的包含24个单词的列表。关键词记忆法组的即时回忆和延迟回忆显著高于重复法组。
