This study was part of a doctoral dissertation by Angelika Thoene, who was advised by Hans Markowitsch. Her research including a 6-month stay at the University of Arizona Amnesia and Cognition Unit was supported by a grant of the CUSANUS-WERK, Germany. The authors thank Laurel Remers for her support during planning and running of the study, Jill Caffrey for referral of patients, and Ori Parnaby for help in preparation of materials. Parts of the experiment were presented at the annual meeting of the European INS in Angers, France, June 1994, where thefirstauthor received the Rennick Award for the outstanding student paper.

N2 - The purpose of this study was to compare a mnemonic strategy based on concept-driven processing and explicit memory (i.e., verbal elaboration and imagery) to one based on data-driven processing and implicit memory (the method of vanishing cues) in a names and faces learning task. A third training condition that used video presentation was also included. Six American and six German patients with memory impairment attributable to brain injuries of different etiologies attempted to learn the associations between names and faces in each of the three conditions. The mnemonic strategy proved to be the most effective. Discussion focuses on the characteristics of the training procedures and on the nature of the to-be-learned materials as critical determinants of the effectiveness of different training techniques. (JINS, 1995, 1, 29-38.).
