Abstract: One classical and one modern prose were memorized separately each by 30 junior middle school girl pupils. The prose was presented first for 4 minutes and read aloud twice by the experimenter, and then presented sentence by sentence for 10 times with each sentence for 3 seconds in average. After each presentation the S wrote down what she remembered. The results showed that: (1) The methods used by Ss for memorizing the classical prose were the same as in the former study; (2) In memorizing the modern prose most of the Ss used the fifth and sixth method described in the second article of this series.The analysis of the successive dictations by the Ss confirmed that the Ss' courses of mastery of the material can be classified into two types: the one is cumulative and the other is schematic. Ss of the former type mastered the material part by part cumulatively. They could remember the exact order of the sentences of the prose. Ss of the latter type first made a frame-work and then laid on the details step by step. They grasped the key-note of the essay more readily.
