生产效应（PE）是一种记忆现象，指的是生产的物品（大声朗读）相对于非生产的物品（默读）的记忆优势。由于发声显示出一致的记忆益处，因此有人建议将其作为可用于辅助词汇学习的助记符。本研究调查了第二语言词汇学习中的 PE，并检验了学习是否能随着时间的推移而持久。希伯来语学生通过发声或无声学习世界语新单词。参与者之间的保留间隔各不相同——学习阶段后立即、1 周和 2 周不等。结果显示出显着的 PE——在所有学习间隔中，有声产生的单词相对于非产生的单词的记忆优势。立即测试中的内存性能高于延迟测试中的内存性能。生成的单词更持久，并且随着时间的推移，记忆衰退也更少。这些发现支持在第二语言学习的第一阶段将发声作为一种简单而有效的记忆工具，作为课堂活动和家庭作业练习作业。
The Production Effect (PE) is a memory phenomenon, referring to memory advantage for produced items (read aloud) over non-produced items (read silently). Since vocalizing shows consistent memory benefits, it has been suggested as a mnemonic that can be used to assist vocabulary learning. The present study investigated the PE in L2 vocabulary learning and examined whether learning is durable over time. Hebrew speaking students learned new words in Esperanto, either by vocal production or by no-production. Retention interval varied between participants – from immediate, 1-week, and 2-weeks following the learning phase. The results showed a significant PE – a memory advantage for vocally produced over non-produced words across all learning intervals. Memory performance was higher in the immediate tests than in the delayed tests. The produced words were more durable and showed less memory decay over time. These findings support using vocalization as a simple yet effective memory tool in the first stages of L2 learning, as a classroom activity and as a homework practice assignment.
