Oyen, Anne-Siri; Bebko, James M.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v62 n2 p173-89 Jul 1996
Investigated how different contexts for learning affect the development of memory-enhancing strategies in children. Subjects were children four to seven years old. Results indicated that the number of items recalled in the lesson condition was significantly greater than in the game condition, and the grade effect was also significant. (MOK)
