F L Gale, and M L Kupper, and J W May, and F T Stritter, and J W Lea

At the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, 110 first-year medical students were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Before the experimental group began the academic year, they were trained in visual imagery by means of 4 self-instructional units. Subsequently, both groups were given a criterion test to assess their ability to process and retrieve information. The investigators concluded that visual imagery can be taught and that it may help some medical students.
