Semantic and Imaginal Factors in Learning as Related to Age
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Horvitz, James M.; Levin, Joel R. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1972
Imagery instructions facilitated the performance of sixth-, but not third-graders. (Authors)

Acquisition and Transfer Differences between Kindergarteners and Second-Graders on Aurally and Visually Presented Paired-Associates Using an A-B, A-C Design
Hall, Vernon C. – J Exp Child Psychol, 1969

Imagery and Learning: Item Recognition and Associative Recall.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cramer, Phebe – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1981
The effects of neutral, separate, and interactive imagery instructions on the learning performance of first and fifth graders were compared for both single-item and paired-associate tasks. Results revealed that both younger and older children using images did show facilitation, compared with those not using images. (Author/GK)

Intentional and Incidental Learning: A Developmental and Comparative Approach
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fraas, Louis A. – Journal of Mental Deficiency Research, 1973
Intentional and incidental learning was investigated developmentally and comparatively using a paired associate learning task with 90 educable mentally handicapped or normal, elementary or secondary school Ss. (DB)

The Development of Natural Language Mediators.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mahoney, Gerald J. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1979
Children's ability to produce and use natural language mediators on a paired-associate recall task requiring self-generated elaboration was analyzed. Elaborations were recorded and classified according to a semantic-syntactic scheme. Comparisons between grades were made to determine the effectiveness of elaboration categories in facilitating…

Abilities and Developmental Changes in Elaborative Strategies in Paired-Associate Learning in Young Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mallory, William A. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1972
Purpose of the study was to investigate those stable characteristics of children which allow some to learn more efficiently under some conditions and others to learn more efficiently under other conditions. (Author)

Functions of Visual Imagery in the Learning and Concept Formation of Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Interactive Effects of Age and Familiarization in Paired-Associate Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Baumeister, Alfred A.; Maisto, Albert A. – Developmental Psychology, 1974
Presents a study of paired-associative learning involving a total of 80 preschool and second grade children. Four familiarization categories of pretraining were utilized; results are discussed in terms of the effects of pretraining conditions and age on paired-associative learning and their consistency with some developmental hypotheses and phase…

Developmental Differences in Concept Acquisition Strategies.
Kossan, Nancy E. – 1979
This study investigated developmental differences in the use of the common features abstraction strategy and the exemplar learning strategy for concept acquisition. Subjects were 30 second graders and 30 fifth graders. The concepts to be learned were two categories of artificial animals which differed on five dimensions. Each dimension had three…

The Effect of Labeling on the Memory of Children and Adults of Pictorial Paired-Associates.
Ackerman, Brian P. – 1978
This study investigates the role of labeling in developmental increases in picture recall. In two experiments, the memory for pictorial paired-associates of first graders or second graders, fourth graders and adults was evaluated by means of a study-test cued recall procedure. In Experiment 1, the stimulus presentation duration (on-time) and the…

Rohwer, William D., Jr.; Levin, Joel R. – 1970
The major emphasis of this study is on the comparative validities of paired-associate learning tests and IQ tests in predicting reading achievement. The study engages in a brief review of earlier research in order to examine the validity of two assumptions--that the construction and/or the use of a tactic that simplifies a learning task is one of…
