Effectively Learning Chinese Characters - Experiment

Following up on research regarding on effective methods for learning Chinese Characters that I did in Fall 2009, I conducted an experiment to test these effectiveness of some of these methods.
Here is the document:
Effectively Learning Chinese Characters

The results indicate that the drawing method was the most effective and the repetition method was the least effective.

However, please note that these results may not be completely accurate due to the small number of students participating in the experiment. Follow-up tests will be necessary to validate these results.

I created it for a Psychology class at Ohlone College in Spring 2009.

I partially used Blizzard's Warcraft III World Editor to make this video.
