Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the strategy connecting vocabulary meaning and emotion facilitates memorizing vocabulary. In the experiment, 11 university students encoded unknown vocabulary as positive, negative or neutral vocabulary. After encoding, the participants completed a free recall task. Evidence was found which suggests that there is no significant effect on reproduction numbers among positive, negative or neutral condition. Therefore, it is possible to say that this strategy may promote memorizing vocabulary in spite of the presence or absence of image and good or bad meaning.
