Strategy Discovery as a Competitive Negotiation between Metacognitive and Associative Mechanisms.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Crowley, Kevin; Shrager, Jeff; Siegler, Robert S. – Developmental Review, 1997
Discusses metacognitive and associative models of children's strategy discovery and use. Contends that models based on only one type of mechanism cannot entirely account for observed variability and constraint revealed by microgenetic studies of children's strategy change. Proposes a new model of children's strategy development in which…

Development of Metacognition in Gifted Children: Directions for Future Research.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Alexander, Joyce M.; And Others – Developmental Review, 1995
Provides an overview of the existing literature on the development of metacognition in gifted children and emphasizes the needed areas of research. Reviews research examining individual differences in gifted and nongifted children in the development of declarative metacognition knowledge, cognitive monitoring, and the regulation of strategies.…

Neural Network Models and Mechanisms of Strategy Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bray, Norman W.; Reilly, Kevin D.; Villa, Mark F.; Grupe, Lisa A. – Developmental Review, 1997
Reviews research on external memory strategies, provides a rationale for using neural network models, and discusses their application to intellectual and developmental differences in the external memory strategies of typical and atypical children, including those with mental retardation. Examines mechanisms of intellectual differences and…

Instructing Children To Use Memory Strategies: Evidence of Utilization Deficiencies in Memory Training Studies.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bjorklund, David F.; Miller, Patricia H.; Coyle, Thomas R.; Slawinski, Jennifer L. – Developmental Review, 1997
Extends the concepts of utilization deficiencies in a review of 30 years of memory-training research. Finds that over half of training conditions showed at least one type of utilization deficiency. Utilization deficiencies were more common for younger than for older children and were more likely when training involved multiple, rather than single,…

Memory Strategy Development: Lessons from Longitudinal Research.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schneider, Wolfgang; Sodian, Beate – Developmental Review, 1997
Reviews development of rehearsal and organizational strategies based on cross-sectional and longitudinal research, focusing on the Munich Longitudinal Study. Found that longitudinal data reveal greater individual variability in strategy acquisition, suggesting that canonical development patterns inferred from cross-sectional studies obfuscate…

Strategy Choice in Sociocultural Context.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ellis, Shari – Developmental Review, 1997
Recent research has documented the variety of memory strategies children have in their repertoires at different ages and with different degrees of task experience. Of growing importance is understanding the processes by which children choose among available approaches. Evidence suggests that sociocultural influences shape individual repertoires of…
