涂鸦经常被误解为在学术环境中分散学生的注意力--一种学习的障碍。然而，最近的研究表明，涂鸦可能有利于学习和记忆保持。本研究在前人研究的基础上，进一步探讨了结构化和非结构化涂鸦对听觉回忆的影响。本实验采用多方法定量研究的方法，包括控制组、结构化涂鸦组和非结构化涂鸦组，以及评估学生涂鸦体验的问卷调查。一组39名高中三年级学生被选为这项研究。在这三种情况下，学生们在正常的课堂环境中听了一堂历史课，然后对这些信息进行了测验。学生们在两种实验条件下涂鸦--他们在第一种条件下给一张结构化的涂鸦纸涂上阴影，在第二种条件下在一张空白的白色A4纸上涂鸦。结果表明，结构化和非结构化涂鸦组的学生表现明显优于控制组，其中结构化涂鸦得分最高。涂鸦后的问卷调查表明，大多数学生经历了更少的白日梦和增加回忆，而涂鸦，此外，大多数学生报告涂鸦自然。
Doodling is often misinterpreted as a distraction to students in an academic setting– a hindrance to learning. However, recent research has shown that doodling may be beneficial to learning and memory retention. The current study expands upon previous research by investigating the impact of structured and unstructured doodling on auditory recall. This experiment was designed using a multi-method quantitative approach with an experiment that consisted of a control, structured doodling, and unstructured doodling group, and a questionnaire to assess students’ doodling experience. A group of 39 high school juniors were chosen for this study. In all three conditions, students listened to a history lecture in their normal classroom circumstances and took a quiz over the information afterward. Students doodled in both experimental conditions– they shaded a structured doodling sheet in the first condition and doodled in a blank, white A4 sheet in the second condition. The results indicated that those in the structured and unstructured doodling group performed significantly better than those in the control group, with structured doodling scoring the highest out of the three. The Post Doodling Questionnaire indicated that the majority of students experienced less daydreaming and increased recall while doodling; furthermore, the majority of students reported doodling naturalistically.
