Аннотация:In the study we modelled a situation of foreign language vocabulary learning: 31 Russian students
memorized visually presented word pairs (native language word – pseudoword). Each pair was
presented for 6 seconds, recall check was after each trial of 4 pairs. Monocular eye movements
and quantitative recall data were recorded. We also analyzed post hoc reports about mnemonic
techniques used and kinds of recall mistakes, which allowed us to distinguish 3 main strategies of
paired associate vocabulary learning: ‘‘graphical’’ (attention to graphic details), ‘‘phonological’’
(rehearsing the words) and ‘‘semantic’’ (creating associations). These strategies correspond to
the levels of processing as proposed by Craik & Lockhart (1972) and Velichkovsky (2006). Recall
score was connected with the strategies used F(3;755) ¼ 11,2 (p < 0,01), escalating with the
increasing ‘‘depth’’ of processing. Eye movement characteristics also reflected types of
strategies: ‘‘graphical’’ strategy was associated with more fixations; ‘‘phonological’’ strategy was
characterized by more switches between Areas Of Interest (native and pseudo- word) and less
fixations on the AOIs; ‘‘semantic’’ strategy was distinguished by fewer switches between AOIs and
longer fixation duration. The findings indicate that subjects use different strategies of foreign
words memorization, which are reflected in their eye movement characteristics and result in
recall efficiency.
