Do Semantic Memory Deficiencies Underlie Learning Disabled Readers' Encoding Processes?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Swanson, H. Lee – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1986
Investigates the extent to which learning disabled readers' atypical encoding relates to their deficiencies in semantic memory by comparing learning disabled and nondisabled readers in two age groups on dichotic listening tasks that included orienting and nonorienting instructions. (HOD)

The Effects of Quantity and Depth of Processing on Children's Time Perception.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Arlin, Marshall – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1986
Describes two experiments that examined the effects of quantity and depth of processing on elementary school children's time perception. (HOD)

Children's Learning and Transfer of Inductive Reasoning Rules: Studies of Proximal Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ferrara, Roberta A.; And Others – Child Development, 1986
Two studies examined the relation between current developmental levels, as estimated by IQ, and proximal levels of development, as estimated by the efficiency of learning and transfer in assisted contexts. Subjects were 8- to ll-year-old children. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed. (HOD)

Recall, Clustering, and Metamemory in Young Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sodian, Beate; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1986
Tested 32 4-year-olds and 32 6-year-olds for free and cued recall following either play-and-remember or sort-and-remember instructions and assessed them for their metamemory of the efficacy of conceptual and perceptual sorting strategies. Younger children recalled more items under sort-and-remember, whereas no recall differences were found for the…

Conditioning 1-6 Month Old Infants by Means of Myoelectrically Controlled Reinforcement.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Stack, Dale M.; McDonnell, Paul M. – International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, 1995
In order to evaluate possibilities of fitting myoelectrically controlled prosthetic arms on infants, this study examined whether 32 infants (1-6 months) could learn to control environmental contingencies by means of contracting the forearm flexor muscle group. Results indicated that older subjects (age greater than 104 days) demonstrated learning,…

What Makes a Vibble a Vibble? A Developmental Study of Category Generalization.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ward, Thomas B.; And Others – Child Development, 1989
Studied the way in which 32 preschoolers aged three-five years, 28 second-graders and 64 undergraduates generalized from a labeled exemplar to other potential members of the same category. Results indicated that preschoolers focused mostly on single attributes in making category decisions and older individuals primarily exhibited multiple…
