Clément François; Antoni Rodriguez-Fornells; Xim Cerda-Company; Thaïs Agut; Laura Bosch – Child Development, 2025
Little is known about language development after late-to-moderate premature birth, the most significant part of prematurity worldwide. We examined minimal-pair word-learning skills in 18 eighteen-month-old healthy full-term (mean gestational age [GA] at birth = 39.6 weeks; 7 males; 100% Caucasian) and 18 healthy late-to-moderate preterm infants…

Developmental Improvements and Persisting Difficulties in Children's Metacognitive Monitoring and Control Skills: Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Perspectives
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bayard, Natalie S.; Loon, Mariëtte H.; Steiner, Martina; Roebers, Claudia M. – Child Development, 2021
This study investigated age-dependent improvements of monitoring and control in 7/8- and 9/10-year-old children. We addressed prospective (judgments of learning and restudy selections) and retrospective metacognitive skills (confidence judgments and withdrawal of answers). Children (N = 305) completed a paired-associate learning task twice, with a…

The Origins of All-or-None Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brainerd, Charles J. – Child Development, 1978
Reports three experiments which examined whether three- and four-year-olds learn simple letter-numeral pair associations incrementally or in an all-or-none manner. Results were consistent with the hypothesis that these items were learned in an all-or-none manner. (JMB)

The Development of Mental Imagery Retrieval.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pressley, Michael; Levin, Joel R. – Child Development, 1980
Instructions were given to first and sixth graders to use an imagery-retrieval strategy in recalling 18 paired associates. (SS)

Developmental Invariance in a Mathematical Model of Associative Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brainerd, Charles J.; Howe, Mark L. – Child Development, 1980
The question of whether or not a certain mathematical model is applicable to the paired-associate data of preschool children as well as adults was examined in five experiments. (Author/MP)

Children's Maintenance and Generalization of an Interrogative Learning Strategy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kestner, Jane; Borkowski, John G. – Child Development, 1979
In experiment 1, 48 first-grade children were presented one of four elaboration strategies or labeling instructions during a single study trial and then recalled 16 paired associates. In experiment 2, 32 first-grade children were trained over a four-day period in the use of an interrogative elaboration strategy or received labeling instructions.…

Presentation Rate Effects on Paired Associate Learning by Attention Deficit Disordered Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
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)

Developmental Differences in the Use of Conceptual Features in Retrieving Episodic Information from Memory.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
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…
