Peer reviewedKail, Robert – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1991
Children and adults were tested on a mental rotation task in which letters were presented in different orientations. The task was performed by itself or with a memory task. Results indicated that the relation of response time to stimulus orientation in the rotation task was the same in both conditions. (BC)

Peer reviewedMarmurek, Harvey H. C.; Rinaldo, Richard – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1992
Second and fourth graders and college students categorized one- and two-syllable words. Categorization response times for second graders were related to the number of letters in one-syllable words. Second and fourth graders had longer categorization times than college students for four-letter, two-syllable words. (BC)
