I have tried psychinfo and google for two things with no luck: I am looking for evidence to support the advice we often give to students to use (a) acrostics, (b) acronyms as study aids. I can find very many websites that offer this advice and how to do it, but none that back up the advice with an evidence that this really works. I had hoped to find something in the rehab literature but couldn't pin anything down on psychinfo.
Next I have been looking for data to back up the often given advice of overlearning. I have found only one reference that found only a very short term benefit for overlearning, but no long term benefit. Again, do any of you have any real evidence for this advice? As much as possible I think students need to know why we tell them to do these things. I appreciate any help in this regard.
