Based on the literature review, the knowledge memory depends on the degree of stimulation upon hippocampus on the human being. In terms of short-term memory transferring into long-term memory, teaching aids playing a significant role. The Mobile Operant Conditioning English Vocabulary Learning System(MOCLS) is applied into this study for enhancing students’ English vocabulary memory effect. The system used the principles of operant conditioning theory to construct the learning behavior pattern. The stimulus-response connection was built when the MOCLS will actively broadcast the vocabulary to learners regularly. In order to compare the MOCLS’s memory effect, the true experiment was used to compare the group of MOCLS and non- MOCLS students. The independent variables included memory effect, memory delay effect, learning motivation, and system acceptance. The SPSS17.0 will be used in this study. The following conclusions are found as follows： 1. The learning tools of MOCLS and non-MOCLS were designed successfully and serve as an effective teaching tool as well. 2. MOCLS system showed a better the main memory effect and delay effect than non-MOCLS system. The results also indicated that the system acceptance and motivation of MOCLS system are better than non-MOCLS. 3. There are interactions among variable of Internet usage to the memory effect, motivation, and system acceptance. 4. Most of students displayed a strong interesting to the MOCLS system based on the investigation of qualitative results 5. Push/Pull system indicated that a lot of advantages and disadvantages. The teachers depend on learning situation of students to organize different teaching strategies.
