Alesandrini, K. L. (1982). Imagery-eliciting strategies and meaningful learning. Journal of Mental Imagery, 6, 125-140.

This paper reviews evidence that meaningful learning is facilitated by several imagery-eliciting strategies including pictorial stimuli, concrete verbal stimuli, and imagery instructions. The review focusses on the conditions under which imagery-eliciting strategies facilitate memory for prose or expository texts rather than for more simple paradigms such as word and paired-associate learning. Studies included in the review investigate the interaction of imagery-eliciting strategies with individual differences. Suggestions are made for improvement of research in the area.
