A Longitudinal Study of Young Children's Memory Behavior and Performance in a Sort-Recall Task.

Schneider, Wolfgang; Sodian, Beate

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v51 n1 p14-29 Feb 1991

Children were tested at ages four and six for recall of clusterable objects under play and sort conditions. Conceptual clustering predicted recall performance of six-year olds in both conditions and of four-year olds in the sort condition. The stability of memory variables was low with the exception of free recall. (BC)
