Verbal Knowledge, Working Memory, and Processing Speed as Predictors of Verbal Learning in Older Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rast, Philippe – Developmental Psychology, 2011
The present study aimed at modeling individual differences in a verbal learning task by means of a latent structured growth curve approach based on an exponential function that yielded 3 parameters: initial recall, learning rate, and asymptotic performance. Three cognitive variables--speed of information processing, verbal knowledge, working…

Aging and the Total Presentation Time Hypothesis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Smith, Anderson D. – Developmental Psychology, 1976
The results of this study indicate that age differences in the recall of high frequency word lists are not related to the total presentation time of the lists but appear to be affected by differences in retrieval processes as a function of age. (JMB)

Development of Free Recall Learning in Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cole, Michael; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1971
In three experiments, performance of children in grades ranging from 1 to 9 was investigated in a repeated trials, free recall experiment. Although performance on the accuracy and clustering measures increased with grade, interactions between grade and other independent variables were generally lacking. (Author/WY)

Effects of Meaningfulness on Child Free-Recall Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Richman, Charles L.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1976
Meaningfulness values, assessed via the production method, were obtained on 40 trigrams for 120 children, 40 each in second and sixth grade. These norms were subsequently used in a free-recall learning study. (MS)
