Abstract

Keyword mnemonic is a technique for second language vocabulary learning. This technique was first described by Atkinson and Raugh in 1975. This work is a systematic review of the published results, since then up to the date, about the effectiveness of the keyword mnemonic in the long term retention of words from a second language. After the analysis of the publications found in different databases, the absence of an uniform result is verified, probably due to the heterogeneity of the investigations. Further studies are still needed to be able to draw definitive conclusions on the effectiveness of the keyword mnemonic in this type of recall.
