The present research showed; that the results of Bransford et al. (1977) that non-cohesive pictorial materials were better remembered than cohesive pictorial materials came from inappropriate compatibility between encoding conditions and retrieval conditions; and that there was no difference between cohesive materials and non-cohesive materials in goodness of memory. These results suggest some points to be considered in studying the effects of cohesiveness of pictorial materials on memory.
