Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ferdinand, Nicola K.; Kray, Jutta – Developmental Psychology, 2017
This study aimed at investigating the ability to learn regularities across the life span and examine whether this learning process can be supported or hampered by verbalizations. For this purpose, children (aged 8-10 years) and younger (aged 19-30 years) and older (aged 70-80 years) adults took part in a sequence learning experiment. We found that…

Oculomotor and Manual Indexes of Incidental and Intentional Spatial Sequence Learning during Middle Childhood and Adolescence
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Karatekin, Canan; Marcus, David J.; White, Tonya – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2007
The goal of this study was to examine incidental and intentional spatial sequence learning during middle childhood and adolescence. We tested four age groups (8-10 years, 11-13 years, 14-17 years, and young adults [18+ years]) on a serial reaction time task and used manual and oculomotor measures to examine incidental sequence learning.…

A Developmental Study of the Recall of Spatial Location
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Von Wright, J. M.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1975
Recall of the spatial location of objects in four object arrays was studied with subjects ranging in age between 5 and 23 years. Using pictorial materials, the procedure focused on the variation with age of conditions which affect recall of the objects and their location. (GO)

Mental Retardation and Memory for Spatial Locations.
Jones, Robert S. P.; Vaughan, Francis L.; Roberts, Mary – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2002
Comparison for memory for spatial location of 30 persons with and 30 persons without mental retardation found the control group recalled more intentionally learned than incidentally learned locations. The experimental group performed better after incidental learning than after intentional learning and scored as highly as controls on incidental…
