Underlining

Annotated Research

Question: How does underlining help in recall of information?

Answer: “Found that underlining helps recall of information from underlined text segments.” J Blanchard and V Mikkelson. 1987. P. 436.

Comment: I’m an inveterate underliner. E-books make underlining easy. May solve the problem  of how to underline when the book is a library book, etc. Of course, the underlining must be selective. Too much underlining doesn’t help. You have to tech how to underline selectively. RayS.
