P2 recalled 14 (70%) of the new words in spoken format and 16 (80%) in written
form. Overall, she achieved 85% success in completing the assessment tasks
correctly. The task that P2 found most difficult was to recall the creatures’ skills
(n=7- 35%). During the independent time P2 used the full 30 minutes to
consolidate her learning but chose not to complete any of the assessment type
tasks but rather looked at the stimuli silently. Following the assessment period of
the fourth session, P2 had a break of approximately 10 minutes and then
listened to the tape recording of the 20 creature details as well as looking at the
written creatures.
