The work that is sent to this journal must be original, not published or sent to be published elsewhere; and if it is accepted for publication, authors will agree to transfer copyright to International Journal of Psychological Research.
To give up copyright, the authors allow that, International Journal of Psychological Research, distribute the work more broadly, check for the reuse by others and take care of the necessary procedures for the registration and administration of copyright; at the same time, our editorial board represents the interests of the author and allows authors to re-use his work in various forms. In response to the above, authors transfer copyright to the journal, International Journal of Psychological Research. This transfer does not imply other rights which are not those of authorship (for example those that concern about patents). Likewise, preserves the authors rights to use the work integral or partially in lectures, books and courses, as well as make copies for educational purposes. Finally, the authors may use freely the tables and figures in its future work, wherever make explicit reference to the previous publication in International Journal of Psychological Research. The assignment of copyright includes both virtual rights and forms of the article to allow the editorial to disseminate the work in the manner which it deems appropriate.
The editorial board reserves the right of amendments deemed necessary in the application of the rules of publication.

Resumen
The aim was to assess the efficacy of the keyword mnemonic method and its impact on the accuracy of Judgments of Learning (JOLs) in elderly adults. The sample consisted of a hundred participants aged 65 to 86, who were subdivided into two age groups: 65-75 years and 76-86 years. Each group had to learn, using either their own habitual method of learning or the mnemonic keyword method, the Spanish meaning of a list of keywords in Latin that had high image vividness scores. The 76-86 year age group, who tended to use their own habitual method as opposed to the mnemonic keyword method, obtained higher accuracy scores than the 65-75 year age group.
