Greenfield, Daryl B.; Scott, Marcia S. – Developmental Psychology, 1986
Examines the development of conceptual preference for complementary versus taxonomic relationships in children, 3 to 17 years of age. The triads procedure was used with picture pairings familiar to the younger age group. The data revealed a preference for complementary pairs for all age groups. (Author/BB)

Howe, Mark L.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1985
Reported an experiment on the effects of taxonomic organization on 7- and 11-year-olds' free and cued recall of two- and four-category lists. Analysis used a stages-of-learning model that simultaneously delivered estimates of the impact of these manipulations on storage and retrieval components of recall. (Author/CB)

Sears, Lonnie L.; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1994
This study evaluated eye-blink conditioning in 11 persons with autism (ages 11 to 22). Compared to matched controls, persons with autism learned the task faster but performed short-latency, high-amplitude conditioned responses. Results suggest this population has the ability to rapidly associate paired stimuli but may have impairments in…

Manis, Franklin R., And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1987
Examined whether reading disabled children differed in the utilization of rules in a paired associate learning task. In two experiments, children were assigned to one of three conditions: (a)nonrule, (b)consistent rule, or (c)inconsistent rule. When present, the rule was based on semantic opposites. (Author/NH)

Ackerman, Brian P. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1985
Second-graders, fifth-graders, and adults participated in an experiment of cued recall for cue-target picture and word pairs. Results suggested that differences in the encoding of both specific and categorical attribute information contribute to developmental recall differences independently of encoding intent and stimulus modality.

Conte, Richard; And Others – Child Development, 1986
Contrasts a fixed-rate presentation list with one in which half the items in a single list were presented at a fast rate and half at a slow rate during paired associative learning with 24 children (aged 8 to 22 years) who were diagnosed with having an attention deficit disorder. (HOD)

Ackerman, Brian P. – Child Development, 1986
Two experiments examine use of defining, characteristic, category, and identical semantic features of word concept information in cued recall. College adults and 7- to 11-year-old children were shown word triplets in which context words were related or unrelated to final target word. Results suggest meaning features differ in providing medium for…

Salisbury, David F.; Klein, James D. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1988
Discussion of the use of computer drills in education focuses on a study designed to compare the effect of a progressive state drill with the effect of having high school students implement their own strategies using flashcards. The use of sequential analysis is explained, and student attitudes are examined. (26 references) (Author/LRW)
