Abstract

The study was a experimental research design which aimed at investing a training program of visual imagery based on gestalt for elementary school students. The sample was 56 students. The sample was randomized by using simple random sampling into groups. Each group consisted of 28 students. The instruments used were an a training program of visual imagery based on gestalt for elementary school students, The Neglieri Nonverbal Ability Test and The Corsi Block Tapping Task. There were 10 sessions in the experiment, each session last for 50 minutes, for a total of five weeks. The experiment was divided into three phases : pretest, posttest and follow-up. The data were statistically analyzed by utilizing a repeated measures analysis of variance and paired-different test by Bonferroni method.

The research finding: 1) The interaction between experimental methods and experimental periods influenced visual imagery and working memory usage of the primary school students, with a significant difference at .05 level. 2) The primary students who received a training program of visual imagery based on gestalt in posttest possessed visual imagery and working memory higher than pretest, the follow-up possessed visual imagery and working memory higher than posttest and higher than control group with a significant difference at.05 level.
