| Sumario: | The aim was to assess the efficacy of the keyword mnemonic method and its impact on the accuracy of Judgments of Learning (JOLs) in elderly adults. The sample consisted of a hundred participants aged 65 to 86, who were subdivided into two age groups: 65-75 years and 76-86 years. Each group had to learn, using either their own habitual method of learning or the mnemonic keyword method, the Spanish meaning of a list of keywords in Latin that had high image vividness scores. The 76-86 year age group, who tended to use their own habitual method as opposed to the mnemonic keyword method, obtained higher accuracy scores than the 65-75 year age group. |
