Lelonkiewicz; Gary Lupyan; Whitney Mendenhall; David Moreau; Christina Schonberg; Christian K. Tamnes; Haley Vlach; Emily M. Elliott – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2025
Though verbal rehearsal is a frequently endorsed strategy for remembering short lists among adults, there is ambiguity around when children deploy it, and what circumstantial factors encourage them to rehearse. We recoded data from a recent multilab replication of a serial picture memory task in which children were observed for evidence of…

Jannin, Leslie; Ganier, Franck; De Vries, Philine – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
When learning procedures in real life, learners generally use action atomization strategies (interleaving instructions consultation and execution) and need several repetitions to acquire the skill. However, in studies on procedural learning, delayed execution paradigms (2 separate steps consisting of instructions consultation, then execution)…

Morey, Candice C.; Mareva, Silvana; Lelonkiewicz, Jaroslaw R.; Chevalier, Nicolas – Developmental Science, 2018
The emergence of strategic verbal rehearsal at around 7 years of age is widely considered a major milestone in descriptions of the development of short-term memory across childhood. Likewise, rehearsal is believed by many to be a crucial factor in explaining why memory improves with age. This apparent qualitative shift in mnemonic processes has…

McGilly, Kate; Siegler, Robert S. – Child Development, 1989
Investigated the serial recall strategies of 96 children aged 5-8 years by applying a theoretical and methodological approach originally developed to investigate preschoolers' arithmetic strategies. Results indicated the use of multiple approaches for serial recall and adaptive strategy choices. (RJC)

Bebko, James M. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1984
Tests 64 deaf students from oral and total communication settings to examine whether a deficiency in spontaneous strategy use accounts for their verbal short-term memory performance. Spontaneous rehearsal of both deaf samples seemed to emerge later than the hearing sample's and was inefficiently implemented and less effective in mediating recall…

Levin, Joel R.; And Others – Educational Communication and Technology: A Journal of Theory, Research, and Development, 1983
Students learned the numerical order of 14 U.S. Presidents through either a complex mnemonic strategy or their own technique. Performance pattern differences were detected between the groups, chiefly serial position profiles produced by those using their own techniques, and slower response time of subjects using mnemonic strategies.

Schmid, Richard F.; Gerlach, Vernon S. – Educational Communication and Technology, 1986
Describes algorithms and shows how they can be applied to the design of instructional systems by relating them to a standard information processing model. Two studies are briefly described which tested serial and parallel processing in learning and offered guidelines for designers. Future research needs are also discussed. (LRW)

Ford, Nigel – Education for Information, 1985
Outlines relevance of learning style and strategy research to education for librarianship and reports on a study that assessed the learning styles of library and information science students through use of a questionnaire. The effectiveness of the questionnaire in assessing learning styles and implications for future research are discussed. (MBR)

Colwell, Dhamma – 2001
This paper describes a case study in which one woman in a focus group of 11 women recounted her use of numerical and mathematical tools in her personal and work life. According to the researcher, the subject's experiences engendered strong feelings and revealed that aspects of her self-identity were bound up with her use of tools and feelings…
